The TPS Yemen termination took effect July 20, 2026, following a Supreme Court ruling and a determination that Yemen no longer meets designation requirements. Yemeni TPS holders should know their Employment Authorization Documents are no longer valid.
A federal court order has kept TPS Yemen protections and employment authorization in place, with USCIS confirming that qualifying EADs remain valid while litigation continues. Yemeni TPS holders and verifying agencies should monitor the USCIS TPS Yemen webpage for ongoing updates.
The Department of Homeland Security has announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Yemen, effective 60 days after Federal Register publication. Affected individuals and employers must review employment authorization validity and assess alternative immigration options before TPS benefits expire.
