USCIS is issuing individual notices to certain TPS Syria beneficiaries whose applications to renew Form I 766, Employment Authorization Document (EAD), remain pending. These individual notices further extend the validity of their EADs until Sept. 24, 2022. Their current EADs bear an A12 or C19 category and an expiration date of March 31, 2021; Sept. 30, 2019; or March 31, 2018.

Completing Form I-9

For Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, TPS Syria beneficiaries may present an EAD with a Category Code of A12 or C19 and an expiration date of March 31, 2021; Sept. 30, 2019; or March 31, 2018, along with an individual notice, mailed by USCIS, that automatically extends their EAD through Sept. 24, 2022. In these cases, enter Sept. 24, 2022, as the new expiration date of the automatically extended EAD in Section 2 under List A. You must reverify these employees on Form I 9 before they start work on Sept. 25, 2022.

Once a new employee has completed Form I 9, Employment Eligibility Verification, create a case in E Verify for this employee.

You must reverify these employees on Form I 9 before they start work on Sept. 25, 2022.
