TPS update for Haiti: work authorization remains extended while court orders continue

On July 1, 2026, USCIS posted a SAVE update about the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti.

The update states that TPS and employment authorization are extended per court order and tells users to check the USCIS TPS Haiti page regularly for updates.

This is important because many Haitian TPS holders, employers, and families are trying to understand whether work authorization remains valid while litigation and government implementation steps continue.

What TPS holders should do now

If you have TPS for Haiti, do not rely on rumors or old screenshots. Check official sources and keep copies of your documents.

Important records may include:

• your TPS approval notice,
• your Employment Authorization Document (EAD),
• any pending renewal receipt notice,
• any USCIS notice about automatic extension,
• your passport or other identity document, and
• copies of any filings submitted to USCIS.

Employers may need proof too

Some TPS holders may need to explain their work authorization to an employer. USCIS SAVE updates and official TPS pages can help employers and agencies verify current status, but the details can change quickly.

If there is a mismatch, expired-looking card, pending renewal, or automatic-extension question, it is worth reviewing the latest USCIS instructions before assuming the worker is no longer authorized.

Watch the official TPS page

TPS litigation and agency guidance can move quickly. If you or a family member has TPS, check the official USCIS TPS page and country-specific pages before making employment, travel, or filing decisions.
