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and Form I-766, Employment Authorization Document (EADs) with category A12 or C19 issued to TPS Nepal beneficiaries are no longer valid as of Aug. 20, 2025.
TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua terminated Sept. 8, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EADs issued to TPS Honduras or TPS Nicaragua beneficiaries with a category A12 or C19 are no longer valid as of Sept. 8, 2025.
EADs for employees with TPS from Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua are no longer valid through Nov. 18, 2025 as previously announced. Use Form I-9, Supplement B, to reverify each current employee whose EAD may be affected and complete all reverifications within a reasonable amount of time.
