Changes to TPS Yemen

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people in the United States. TPS is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of danger, such as an armed conflict or environmental disaster.

On May 1, 2026, a court temporarily paused the termination of TPS Yemen that was set for May 4. This means the case will continue to be reviewed in court.

Due to the pause:

  • People from Yemen with TPS still have this protection.
  • Work permits through TPS are still valid.
  • People with pending TPS applications have protection.

The decision to end TPS Yemen is being challenged in court. Court cases on immigration policies can change the rules and be confusing. Read our guide on how court decisions work.

Work permits

If your TPS work permit (EAD) was set to expire on March 3, 2023, September 3, 2024, or March 3, 2026, it is automatically extended. It remains valid while the court case is being reviewed. You can keep using it as proof that you are allowed to work until that date.

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.
