This is a receipt notice from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an application for a work permit based on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). You can use the receipt number to check the status of your application.

Depending on when you submitted your work permit application, your receipt notice may look different. This receipt notice includes information about an automatic extension of 540 days for a renewal work permit based on TPS. 

Automatic 540-day extension: If your receipt notice includes information about a 540-day automatic extension, and you submitted your work permit renewal application on or before the expiration date printed on your current work permit card, then your work permit should be automatically extended for 540 days after the expiration date printed on the card. This most likely applies to people who received a work permit receipt notice dated before July 22, 2025.
