If you have Temporary Protected Status from one of seven countries, your work permit may expire on July 10, 2026. Here is what is happening.

If you or a family member holds Temporary Protected Status (TPS), there is an urgent deadline to know about. Work permits tied to TPS for seven countries are currently set to expire on July 10, 2026.

Who this affects

  • TPS holders from Haiti, Syria, Burma (Myanmar), Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen.
  • These are people whose TPS-based work permits (EADs) had been kept in effect by court orders.

What happened

  • In June 2026, the Supreme Court ruled (in Mullin v. Doe) that courts have very limited power to review the government’s decisions to end TPS.
  • After that ruling, USCIS set July 10, 2026 as the expiration date for TPS work permits from these seven countries.
  • The government has called this temporary relief only — not a permanent extension. The underlying TPS protections may still be ended.

Important — these dates are moving quickly

  • This date has already changed once (it moved from July 1 to July 10).
  • It could change again, and different countries’ cases are moving through different courts.
  • The most reliable source is the official USCIS TPS page for your country — check it directly and often.

What you should do now

  • Check the USCIS TPS page for your country for the latest expiration date.
  • If you are working, talk with your employer about your work permit’s expiration so there are no surprises.
  • Ask whether you may qualify for another status that does not depend on TPS — for example, a family or employment green card, asylum, or another form of relief.
  • Do this now, not later. Other options take time to prepare, and waiting until your permit expires can put both your job and your status at risk.
