After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has terminated Haiti’s designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

E-Verify employers have until Jan. 4, 2026, to download records for E-Verify cases last updated on or before Dec. 31, 2015. On Jan. 5, 2026, USCIS will dispose of these E-Verify records that are more than 10 years old.

Program administrators can download the Historical Records Report to retain information about these E-Verify cases. The case data includes basic company information as well as case identifiers and case resolution information.

Employers who participate in E‑Verify must create an E‑Verify case by Tuesday, Oct. 14 for each employee hired while E‑Verify was not available. You must use the hire date from the employee’s Form I‑9 when creating the E‑Verify case. If you could not create an E‑Verify case by the third business day after the employee began work for pay because E‑Verify was unavailable, E‑Verify will prompt you during case creation to provide a reason for the delay.

On May 19, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court granted the government’s request for an emergency stay of Judge Edward Chen’s order in National TPS Alliance, et al., v.

March 31, 2025). Based on the Supreme Court’s order, the March 31, 2025, district court order in case No. 3:25-cv-1766 was stayed pending the disposition of the government’s appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has determined that conditions in Syria no longer support its designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and that it is contrary to the national interest to permit the Syrian nationals (or aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Syria) to remain temporarily in the United States, therefore she terminated the designation.

On Aug. 20, 2025, the Ninth Circuit court stayed a lower court order postponing DHS’s termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua, allowing the terminations to proceed.

This means that TPS for Nepal terminated Aug. 20, 2025, and Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document (EADs) with category A12 or C19 issued to TPS Nepal beneficiaries are no longer valid as of Aug. 20, 2025.
