These forms are the I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Applicants may still file their forms in paper format. Those who choose to file with paper may still create a myUSCIS account to track the status of their application.
The countries that are eligible for TPS are:
- Burma (Myanmar)

- Haiti
- Honduras

- Somalia
- South Sudan
- Sudan
- Syria

To file these forms online, eligible applicants should create a USCIS account through the myUSCIS page and navigate to the forms from there. Applicants may request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) by submitting a completed Form I-765 with their Form I-821 or may submit their Form I-765 at a later date.
