An applicant for late initial registration must file an application for late initial registration no later than 60 days after the expiration or termination of the conditions listed in 8 C.F.R. 244.2(f)(2).

* For minimal disruption of employment authorization while TPS re-registration applications are processed and EADs valid until October 1, 2006 are issued to eligible Liberians, current EADs of eligible Liberians will be extended through February 28, 2006 at the time biometrics are obtained at an USCIS Application Support Center (ASC). Extension stickers that indicate a new expiration date of "February 2006 will be placed on the current EADs of eligible TPS beneficiaries. Therefore, each re-registrant must bring his/her current EAD to the ASC and should bring his/her ASC appointment notice and receipt notice. Those Liberian TPS beneficiaries who are applying for a new EAD are encouraged to re-register as soon as possible to avoid a lapse in employment authorization.

DED Expiration Date          09/29/02
