Documents required for renewal of TPS
If TPS gets renewed , what are the documents we need to submit?
i-821 with copy of approved TPS?
i-797 with copy of approved EAD, i-9 and passport photo copy, is photo required?
for travel document, do we send it to the same lock box or different? Do we need to send pics for travel document?
Getting ready if gets extended to post it very same day.
Please don't forget the passport size photos if you are applying for EAD. Even though you are reapplying for TPS, the instructions on application of i765 clearly states that you need 2 passport size photos.
I have some questions. Hope you guys can help me.
1. I have a new passport now. So, do I need to include the copies of both my passports?
2. I recently moved to a new place due to work obligations. It's only been few weeks and I do not have any utility or bank statements to prove my current physical address. All my prior filings were from my old address. How do I verify my current address?
Thanks.
@iAkhilleus
If i were you, i would send both copies of my passport.

Hi all, thanks for posting these info. It's very helpful. Also, I see that there are many questions about first time tps applicants and I think we should make it clear that this time around it is just a tps extension and not "re-designation", so only those who have tps approved or pending can apply for the extension.
However, there is still a slim chance for those who have not previously applied for tps but may be eligible to apply this time around with "late initial registration provision" (source: page 2 of https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-25907.pdf ) but even then, physical presence in US on June 24th/25th 2015 is mandatory to file the late initial registration application otherwise you won't meet the continuous presence criteria.

Seems like one should include form I-765 even if he/she does not want EAD. BTW, if someone does not opt for EAD card in the initial filing process, can he/she request later? OR, if you want EAD you can only ask at the time of registration?
I am on H1B and thinking of applying this time. Can I request for EAD? I read in USCIS website but am still not clear about that. Help me out friends.
@Seeker77- During the initial registration of TPS, I did apply for TPS with EAD and I am on H1b. As long as you do not use your TPS EAD, your current H1B status remains active and there will be no impact on H1b.
Seems like one should include form I-765 even if he/she does not want EAD?
That's 100% correct, you should include form I-765 regardless of whether you want EAD or not.
if someone does not opt for EAD card in the initial filing process, can he/she request later?
Yes, he/she can request later as long as TPS has been filed during USCIS given date. One of my friend did apply for EAD later and got it approved with no issues.

Thanks a lot! Ohio. BTW, one more question: how long did it take for your friend to receive EAD card?
I'd really appreciate your input. Thanks again!
Need help with few more questions.
1. People on TPS and working through TPS EAD, what's should we list as our current immigration status? Question (26) on I-821 and (15) on I-765?
2. How do you provide proof of residence if you have currently moved to a new place?
I apologize if these have already been answered. Thanks.
In i-821 form, what should we one in
25.b. Date authorized period of stay in the United States expired or will expire
if one came in F-1 and I-94 says F1- D/S ?
Thanks
@Nepali Saila,
D/S - means Duration of status . Normally its D/S for F1 visas,
So write D/S there by hand, use black ink , if the computer doesn't allow to type in. That's what I did first time and this time also
@iakh
1- write whatever status u had before when u applied for TPS. TPS means whatever status u had before, u hold that one now. so it could be F-1, H1.... or OVERSTAY if you were out of status when u applied TPS. if U were student and used TPS EAD, u still write F1.
2. new address ko kehi ta hola ni, like state ID ? otherwise go and get one. ani purana bill with purana address haru pani pathau
@C16_Sajha
because the form uses "2D Bar technology", it will be uploaded by computer. I dont think whatever information you write with hand will be read and uploaded to your file.
@NepaliSaila
I have to disagree on your reply to @iakh
Background - I was approved of inital TPS, so I didn't apply for OPT extension. With that scenario, my OPT expired on June, 2016. To get back into F-1 status for Spring 17 (for Grad School, before TPS got extended) the international programs office told me I had to apply for reinstatement again as I got out of F-1 status when OPT expired.
Taremam Bhai, kasari tapailai 2018 ko TPS diyo? ;O
@hassuthyokukhurauthena: May be it was their technical error, in 2016 i already had TPS till 2018(the one that is valid at this moment for TPS). But anyways, received my TPS and EAD today as well

How long did it take to get your tps and ead card by mail once the case status changed to 'new card is being produced' ?
Has anyone been called for Biometrics for TPS? Any update??
@daveraaz: I applied right before the deadline (TPS only, didn't apply for EAD renewal at this time). USPS tracking shows that the packet was delivered on Dec. 26 but nothing has happened since....USCIS hasn't cashed the check yet...I'm starting to think they're denying my application for renewal.
Any updates on your application?
