Changes to TPS Syria
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.
On September 19, 2025, the U.S. government announced that TPS Syria is ending on November 21, 2025.
- If you have TPS Syria, you will lose your TPS status and work permit at the end of the day on November 21, 2025.
- If you have a TPS-based work permit, it is automatically extended through November 21, 2025.
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 and deported.
