What happened?

March 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued updated federal guidance on the termination of parole programs and changes to Temporary Protected Status (TPS), clarifying eligibility, documentation, and employment authorization impacts for affected individuals.

Overview:

All employers who have workers from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, or Venezuela, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially ended the CHNV parole programs. As a result:

• Parole and work authorization (EADs with category C11) granted under these programs are being revoked.

• No new CHNV parole requests will be processed.

• DHS began sending termination notices on June 12, 2025, informing affected individuals that both their parole and work authorization are immediately revoked.

• Workers must return their revoked EADs to USCIS as instructed.

Please take into consideration that:

• If DHS terminates parole before the EAD’s expiration date, the EAD may still appear valid unless DHS issues a separate revocation notice.
• DHS will not issue replacement EADs or collect revoked cards.

For Venezuelan workers with TPS:

• Only certain individuals under the 2023 TPS redesignation retain valid work authorization. Their documents must have been issued on or before February 5, 2025.

• The 2021 TPS designation remains in effect through September 10, 2025.

• Employers can verify TPS status and work authorization through the SAVE system.

For Haitian workers with TPS:

• A court ruling ensures that TPS Haiti remains valid through February 3, 2026.
