DHS Secretary Designates
Afghanistan for TPS

The flag of Afghanistan cropped to the country's geographic land shape.

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas designated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan, for 18 months, effective May 20, 2022, through Nov. 20, 2023. Afghan nationals and individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Afghanistan may submit an initial registration application under the designation for TPS for Afghanistan and apply for an EAD during the 18‑month registration period that begins May 20, 2022, and ends on Nov. 20, 2023. Once a beneficiary is granted TPS, they are authorized to work and if they applied for an EAD, will be issued an EAD with a category code of A12.

For additional information, see the Federal Register notice designating Afghanistan for TPS as well as the USCIS TPS webpage.
