DHS announces certain Lebanese nationals will be eligible for DED and TPS, allowing them to work and temporarily remain in the United States<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

On October 17, 2024, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced new actions to provide temporary immigration reprieve to eligible Lebanese nationals currently in the United States and allowing them the opportunity to request work authorization. Included are details related to the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Lebanese nationals as previously announced in July, and a planned new Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Lebanon.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>announcement<\/span><\/a> goes on to read:<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) also posted a <\/span>Federal Register Notice<\/span><\/a> establishing procedures for those Lebanese nationals covered by President Biden\u2019s July 26, 2024 grant of <\/span>Deferred Enforced Departure<\/span><\/a> to apply for Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) that will be valid through January 25, 2026. As described in the Federal Register Notice, eligible Lebanese nationals can apply for an EAD by filing <\/span>Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization<\/span><\/a>. USCIS adjudicates each EAD application on a case-by-case basis to determine if an applicant meets all standards and eligibility criteria. More information about <\/span>DED<\/span><\/a>-based <\/span>EADs<\/span><\/a> is available on the USCIS website.<\/span><\/p>\n

DHS is also publishing a Special Student Relief Notice for F-1 nonimmigrant students whose country of citizenship is Lebanon, or individuals having no nationality who last habitually resided in Lebanon, so that eligible students may request employment authorization, work an increased number of hours while school is in session, and reduce their course load while continuing to maintain F-1 status through the DED designation period.<\/span><\/p>\n
