🚨 ATTENTION TPS HOLDERS — You Need to Know This 🚨
If you have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and applied for a work permit (EAD), here’s the reality nobody is talking about:
❌ USCIS has been sitting on TPS EAD applications since early 2025 — approving virtually none.
⏳ People have been waiting 10-12 months with NO work authorization. No income. No answers.
And now? New rules make it WORSE:
📋 The new H.R. 1 rules cap EAD validity at just 1 YEAR — or whatever time is left on your TPS designation, whichever is SHORTER.
Do the math:
→ You wait 10-12 months for approval
→ You receive an EAD valid for only 1-2 months
→ You apply again
→ You wait another 10-12 months
→ Repeat
USCIS will call this “normal processing time.”
But let’s call it what it is — a system designed to make life impossible without ever formally deporting anyone.
No court order. No removal proceedings. Just bureaucratic silence until people give up and leave.
This is happening to real people RIGHT NOW. People with valid legal status. People who followed every rule.
Share this. Tag someone who needs to know. And if this is happening to you — you are not alone.
