TPS waxay bixisaa xaalad socdaal oo ku meel gaar ah, ka ilaalinta masaafurinta, iyo ogolaanshaha in laga shaqeeyo Maraykanka

Current Ukrainian TPS holders (who have lived in the U.S. since April 11, 2022) can apply for an extension of TPS and work authorization. In addition, TPS applicants from Ukraine who have lived in the U.S. since August 16, 2023, are now also eligible to apply for TPS and work authorization for the first time.

On August 21, 2023, DHS posted a Ogeysiiska Diiwaangelinta Federaalka with information about the extension of TPS for Ukraine and the expansion of the program to include Ukrainians in the U.S. as of August 16, 2023. Ukrainians who currently have TPS must apply for an extension by filing a TPS application (Foomka I-821) between August 21, 2023, and October 20, 2023.

First-time TPS applicants must file a TPS application form between August 21, 2023, and April 19, 2025. To apply for a work permit, applicants must apply for employment authorization (Foomka-I-765). 

By filing for an extension of TPS during the 60-day application period, between August 21, 2023, and October 20, 2023, TPS holders who currently have TPS and work authorization until October 19, 2023, will receive an automatic extension of work permission until October 19, 2024.

Waxaad codsan kartaa oggolaansho shaqo (Foomka I-765) with your TPS application or before the end of the TPS registration period. DHS recommends filing your work authorization as soon as possible.
