USCIS will published notice on Federal register about Re Registration about TPS4Nepal atleast 60 days before the current expiration date of December 24,2016. Even they don't renew TPS for Nepal for 18 months more, which is most unlikely as per the past history of all TPS countries provided by USCIS , they would issue the notice of Termination for TPS for Nepal atleast 60 days before the current expiration date but every individual who are currently on TPS status would have 6 months time period to return back to their respective original status they previously hold before. currently there are 13 countries on TPS status including Nepal .

Every country has been renewed atleast once after the DHS has been formed in 2002 according to the immigration and naturalization act which designates , redesignates, renews and cancel TPS for any country. Before DHS , US Department of Justice , (INS) Immigration and Naturalization service used to handle TPS for any country. US Department of Justice have designated 23 countries on TPS till now and 13 countries is still on TPS Status.

But every country which has been designated TPS was renewed atleast once . if the situation improves in the respective TPS country such as civil war in Rwanda, Burundi and Bosnia Herzegovina TPS was terminated by Dept of Justice at the end of civil war, but when it comes to Natural disaster such as Hurricane and Earthquake in Honduras, El Salvador and Haiti, TPS has been renewed for more than a decade almost 17 years for Honduras , 15 years for El Salvador and 6 years for Haiti because the reconstruction and redevelopment takes many years for any respective country.

Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea was designated TPS due to epidemic such as Ebola virus . Those countries was renewed for only 6 months after the TPS expiration date even though Ebola was completely eradicated from those countries. So I think Nepal has very high chance of getting renewed with the past record of TPS provided by US Dept of Justice in the past and currently by DHS/USCIS which took over the responsibility of handling TPS for all countries.

Automatic EAD extension would be valid for 6 months. Example if USCIS renews TPS4Nepal for 18 months they will issue notice on federal register and publish it in USCIS website before 60 days of current TPS expiration date and on that notice it would be clearly mentioned that the current TPS EAD which all Nepalese hold expires on December 24, 2016 and that federal register notice is an evidence for all employers in US that EAD which expires on Dec 24 is still valid for 6 more months during which all Nepalese would get new EAD with the new expiration dates which is TPS expiration date, and that notice provided in federal register is evidence to all employers in US ,so they never can questions about your work authorization in the United States. FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE is an EVIDENCE FOR NEXT 6 MONTHS for EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT to all employers in US.

I have done extensive research about Temporary Protected Status, so all the information provided above are true to extend of my knowledge and authentic with the information provided by US Dept of Justice, DHS and USCIS. I would be more than glad to share all my information and knowledge about TPS to all the readers here in Sajha , if you have any questions regarding it.

Thanks in advance
