Automatic Extension of Employment Authorization Documentation for Salvadoran Temporary Protected Status Beneficiaries

On October 1, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a Notice in the Federal Register extending the designation of El Salvador for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) through September 9, 2010. Beneficiaries of TPS for El Salvador are required to re-register and obtain new Employment Authorization Documents (EADs). Since USCIS will not be able to process and re-issue new EADs for all such beneficiaries by the March 9, 2009, expiration date, USCIS has decided to automatically extend the validity of EADs issued to Salvadoran nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in El Salvador) until September 9, 2009. This Notice announces that extension and also explains how TPS beneficiaries and their employers may determine which EADs are automatically extended.
