USCIS extends TPS/EAD validity for Venezuelans to Oct 2, 2026 per court order

USCIS announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) for Venezuelans remain valid until October 2, 2026, following a court order. This extends protections for Venezuelan nationals in the US, likely due to ongoing litigation over TPS termination. The decision affects hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants and signals continued legal uncertainty around US immigration policy.
