TPS for Burma Ends Jan 26, 2026

After that date you will no longer have TPS protections, may lose authorization to remain in the United States, and will no longer be eligible for TPS-based work authorization.
EADs Extended Through Jan 26, 2026
DHS automatically extends certain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for TPS beneficiaries through January 26, 2026. You may use an EAD showing category A-12 or C-19 with a "Card Expires" date of November 25, 2025, May 25, 2024, or November 25, 2022 as proof of work authorization through January 26, 2026.
