The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced an 18-month extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Ukraine, from April 20, 2025, to October 19, 2026. This extension allows Ukrainian nationals to remain in the U.S. due to ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary conditions in Ukraine. Current TPS beneficiaries must re-register between January 17, 2025, and March 18, 2025, to maintain their status. DHS also provided guidance on employment authorization documents, including options for automatic extensions.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Government says that people from Ukraine, who are in the U.S. because things are not safe at home, can stay here longer—until October 2026—and they need to tell the government they want to stay between January and March 2025.
