=====================

EADs for Nepal, and several other countries extended until March 9, 2025; 

Haiti's EADs extended to August 3, 2025. 

Reason for Extensions

=================

Rates Nearly 50% of eligible beneficiaries from several countries failed to re-register for TPS

Confusion and Legal Impact

Other Immigration Benefits 

=======================

 DHS Re-registration Policy 

=======================

 DHS extended re-registration periods for operational reasons and confusion among TPS beneficiaries. 

 USCIS Backlogs 

=============

 Historic backlogs in processing EADs cited as a factor for the automatic extension of EADs.
