Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Sudan

9 ਜੁਲਾਈ, 2026 ਨੂੰ ਅੱਪਡੇਟ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ
TPS Sudan is valid through October 19, 2026, for people who already have it. You can no longer apply or re-register for TPS Sudan.

What is TPS?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows people from certain countries to stay and work in the U.S. if it is not safe for them to return home due to war, disasters, or other emergencies.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the government can move forward with ending TPS for Haiti and Syria. This decision will likely affect TPS for other countries, including whether TPS is extended after the current end date.

Important

Who can have TPS for Sudan?

If you already had TPS for Sudan under a previous designation, you must have re-registered by March 18, 2025 to continue your benefits through October 19, 2026. If you were applying for the first time, you must have registered by April 19, 2025.

You must have also met the following requirements:

  • Be a national of Sudan or a person without nationality who lived in Sudan for a long time before arriving in the U.S.
  • Have lived only in the U.S. since August 16, 2023
  • Did not take trips outside the U.S. after October 20, 2023 that might impact eligibility

You may not be eligible if you have committed certain crimes.

How do I get a work permit?

Work permits are available to people with TPS and are known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). It shows employers that you are allowed to work in the USA.

You can apply for work authorization by filing Form I-765 and paying the fee. It is recommended that you apply for a work permit at the same time you apply for TPS, but you can also apply later.

What happens when TPS expires?

If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained, put in removal proceedings, and deported.
