If you were granted TPS by an immigration judge (IJ) or the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and you want to request an EAD, you may submit Form I-765 one of three ways: online, mail your Form I-765 to the appropriate address in Table 1, or upload a completed PDF through your USCIS online account. If you file online, you will be prompted to include the fee. If you file by mail, you must include the fee or fee waiver request. If you file by ( print page 5968) PDF upload, you must include the fee or a fee waiver request. When you request an EAD based on an IJ or BIA grant of TPS, include with your application a copy of the order from the IJ or BIA granting you TPS. This will help us verify your grant of TPS and process your application.

Supporting Documents

The filing instructions for Form I-821 list all the documents you need to re-register for TPS. You may also find information on the acceptable documentation and other requirements for re-registering for TPS on the USCIS website at https://www.uscis.gov/​tps under “Venezuela.”

Travel

TPS beneficiaries and TPS applicants with pending Form I-821 applications may also apply for travel authorization, which USCIS may grant as a matter of discretion. You must file for travel authorization if you wish to travel outside of the United States. If USCIS grants travel authorization, it gives you permission to leave the United States and to return to a U.S. port of entry to request re-entry during a specific period. To request travel authorization, you must file Form I-131, available at https://www.uscis.gov/​i-131. You may file Form I-131 together with your Form I-821 or separately. When filing Form I-131, a TPS beneficiary must:

• Select Item Number 4 in Part 1 on the Form I-131; and
• Submit the fee for Form I-131, or request a fee waiver, which you may submit on Form I-912.

When filing Form I-131, a TPS applicant with a pending initial Form I-821 must:

• Select Item Number 5C in Part 1 on the Form I-131; and
• Submit the fee for Form I-131, or request a fee waiver, which you may submit on Form I-912.

If you are filing Form I-131 together with Form I-821, send your forms to the address listed in Table 1. If you are filing Form I-131 separately based on a pending or approved Form I-821, send your form to the address listed in Table 2 and include a copy of Form I-797, Notice of Action, or Form I-797C, Notice of Action, indicating either approval or receipt of Form I-821. Form I-131 may not be filed by PDF upload.
