Honduras
TPS and related work authorization is set to end on September 8, 2025.
Update: On August 20, 2025, a federal court allowed the Trump administration to terminate TPS for 60,000 Honduran, Nicaraguan and Nepalese TPS holders even as the lawsuit continues to be fought in the lower court. This means that TPS and related work authorization will end on September 8, 2025, for TPS holders from Honduras and Nicaragua. Check the USCIS website for updated information on the TPS termination for Honduras.
It is important that TPS holders immediately seek legal advice from a trusted immigration attorney for more information on this or any other immigration relief that may be available to you.
