” On May 30, 2025, the district court in case No. 3:25-cv-1766 ordered that—pending resolution of the litigation—TPS beneficiaries who received TPS-related employment authorization documents, Forms I-797, Notices of Action, and Forms I-94 issued with Oct. 2, 2026 expiration dates on or before Feb. 5, 2025 will maintain that status, and their documentation will remain valid during the course of the litigation.  All TPS-related documentation with a validity date of Oct.  2, 2026, received after Feb. 5, 2026, is no longer valid and those individuals under the 2023 designation no longer have TPS. 

Separately, TPS under the 2021 designation for Venezuela remains in effect through Sept.  10, 2025.”


ADP will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.
