This is a work permit extension notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) sent to some TPS holders from El Salvador, Sudan, and Ukraine.
El Salvador: You may have received this notice extending your work permit through September 9, 2026. Good news - your TPS and work permit remain valid even after September 9, 2026. USCIS announced that if you received TPS for El Salvador, your protection and work permit remain valid for now, until any new announcements are made. See USCIS’s website. If needed, you can also show your employer this letter from the National TPS Alliance.
Sudan and Ukraine: Your work permit is automatically extended through October 19 if you applied to renew your work permit during the re-registration period, and you are still waiting for your new work permit card. Your work permit is also automatically extended through October 19 if you received a new work permit card with a printed expiration date before October 19, 2026. USCIS should send you this notice of extension by mail or in your myUSCIS account.
