After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has determined that conditions in Afghanistan no longer support its designation for Temporary Protected Status. Afghanistan’s TPS designation and related benefits terminate on July 12, 2025, at 11:59 p.m.
EADs with a Category Code of A12 or C19 and a Card Expires date of May 20, 2025, and Nov. 20, 2023, associated with the TPS designation of Afghanistan expire on July 12, 2025. Employers must reverify TPS Afghanistan beneficiaries who presented these EADs before they start work on July 13, 2025.
