On April 2, 2025, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will remain in effect following a court order. On March 31, 2025, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California ordered postponement of the vacatur, published February 3, 2025, and of the termination, published February 5, 2025, of the 2023 TPS designation for Venezuela.
In light of the order, USCIS said that TPS for Venezuela will remain in effect until the Department of Homeland Security “obtains relief from that order.” Further, the validity of work permits with an expiration date of September 10, 2025; April 2, 2025; March 10, 2024; or September 9, 2022, issued under the Venezuela TPS designations is similarly extended through April 2, 2026, “pending further litigation.”
USCIS said that employers should refer to the TPS webpage regularly for updates.
