TPS holders from Honduras, whose TPS and related work authorization was set to end on July 5, 2025, will now remain in effect through September 8, 2025, until a court decides otherwise.
TPS holders from Honduras, as of now, will apparently lose TPS and TPS-related work authorization after September 8, 2025, unless a court decides otherwise. In the meantime, USCIS has automatically extended work authorization through September 8, 2025, for TPS work permits showing certain original expiration dates which have passed. Some TPS holders may also have permission to remain in the U.S. and related work authorization through applications for other immigration relief, such as asylum. (See more below.)
TPS holders from Honduras, currently continue to be employment authorized through September 8, 2025, unless a court decides otherwise. If your employer asks, you can show them the July 8, 2025, Federal Register Notice, stating TPS-related work authorization remains valid through September 8, 2025, along with your current work permit.
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. If you are represented by a union, contact your Union Representative.
