Overview
- DHS concluded Venezuela no longer meets TPS criteria, a decision affirmed by the Supreme Court on October 3, 2025.
- The 2023 TPS designation is considered terminated immediately, while the 2021 designation ends on November 7, 2025.
- USCIS says only those who re-registered under the 2023 extension and received EAD, Form I-797 or I-94 by February 5, 2025 retain status and work authorization until October 2, 2026.
- A Northern District of California order preserves the validity of those TPS-related documents through October 2, 2026 for that limited group.
- Beneficiaries outside the carve-out are no longer covered, with USCIS advising eligible holders to verify case status at my.uscis.gov, keep official notices and watch for fraud.
