• Ang isang may hawak ng TPS na nag-aplay para sa iba pang tulong sa imigrasyon, halimbawa ng asylum, ay maaaring pahintulutang magtrabaho batay sa isa pang nakabinbing aplikasyon, at maaaring magbigay ng patunay ng iba pang anyo ng awtorisasyon sa pagtatrabaho sa mga employer.

• If your employer asks, you can also show them this USCIS page: Temporary Protected Status Designated Country: Ethiopia which reflects the validity of Ethiopian TPS work authorization.
• If your employer asks, and you have work authorization pursuant to another form of immigration relief, such as a pending asylum claim, you can show them your work permit pursuant to other immigration relief.
• Kung ikaw ay kinakatawan ng isang unyon, makipag-ugnayan sa iyong Kinatawan ng Unyon.

• Kung ikaw ay kinakatawan ng isang unyon, Makipag-ugnayan sa iyong Kinatawan ng Unyon. Ang iyong unyon ay maaaring makipagkasundo sa iyong tagapag-empleyo para sa hindi nabayarang leave of absence, severance pay, o iba pang mga benepisyo sa paghihiwalay.
• Makipag-ugnayan kaagad sa isang pinagkakatiwalaang abogado ng imigrasyon. Mag-ingat sa mga "notario" o mga scammer. Maghanap ng isang kagalang-galang na tagapagbigay ng serbisyong legal na malapit sa iyo.

On January 22, 2026, African Communities Together and three Ethiopian nationals filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s termination of Ethiopian TPS. On January 30, 2026, a federal district judge in Massachusetts blocked the termination of TPS for Ethiopia as the court case continues. This case is African Communities Together et al. v. Noem et al., No. 26-cv-10278-BEM (D. Mass.). As such, Ethiopian TPS holders continue to enjoy protection from deportation and related work authorization until a higher court decides otherwise.

Additional details will be known in the coming weeks. Asylum applications may still be filed. Please stay tuned for further developments and updates to this website.
