To receive an automatic 6-month extension of your EAD: • You must be a national of El Salvador (or an alien having no nationality who last habitually resided in El Salvador) who has applied for and received an EAD under the designation of El Salvador for TPS, and • You have not had TPS withdrawn or denied. This automatic extension is limited to EADs issued on Form I–766, Employment Authorization Document, bearing an expiration date of September 9, 2010. These EADs must also bear the notation ‘‘A–12’’ or ‘‘C–19’’ on the face of the card under ‘‘Category.’’ wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with NOTICES_PART 1 What documents may a qualified individual show to his or her employer as proof of employment authorization and identity when completing Form I–9?

To minimize confusion over this extension at the time of hire or re-verification, qualified individuals may also present a copy of this Federal Register notice VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:17 Jul 08, 2010 Jkt 220001 regarding the automatic extension of employment authorization documentation through March 9, 2011.

Employers should not request proof of Salvadoran citizenship. Employers should accept the EADs as valid ‘‘List A’’ documents. Employers should not ask for additional Form I–9 documentation if presented with an EAD that has been automatically extended or a new valid EAD pursuant to this Federal Register notice, and the EAD reasonably appears on its face to be genuine and to relate to the employee. Employees also may present any other legally acceptable document or combination of documents listed on the Form I–9 as proof of identity and employment eligibility.
