Certain employees received a notification from USCIS instructing them to sign into their USCIS online account to download their new or corrected I‑797C, Notice of Action, receipt notice. USCIS will also send these employees a new or corrected paper Form I‑797 receipt notice by mail.
For pending asylum applicants, USCIS issued Form I‑797C, Notice of Action (I‑797 receipt), that did not include information about the up to 540‑day Employment Authorization Document (EAD) auto‑extension period for individuals that filed a Form I‑765 to renew their employment authorization and EAD. These employees can present their new I‑797C receipt with their expiring or expired EAD with a Category Code of C‑08 as a List A document that is valid for up to 540 days.
For Temporary Protected Status (TPS), USCIS either did not issue a Form I‑797C receipt to some beneficiaries, or the notices issued did not include the up to 540‑day EAD auto-extension period. These employees may present their new I‑797C receipt indicating either A‑12 or C‑19 as the Class Requested with their expiring or expired EAD with a Category Code of A‑12 or C‑19 as a List A document that is valid for up to 540 days.
Note that the Class Requested on Form I‑797C and the Category Code on the EAD do not have to match. For more information on the 540‑day Employment Authorization Document (EAD) auto‑extension period, visit the USCIS Automatic Employment Authorization Document (EAD) Extension page.

For Employees: Your employer may inform you that your E-Verify case received a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and/or Social Security Administration (SSA) Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) case result. A DHS and/or SSA TNC means that the information your employer entered in E-Verify from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, did not match records available to DHS and/or SSA. A DHS and/or SSA TNC case result does not necessarily mean that you are not authorized to work in the United States.
The process description here explains the types of TNC’s and guides you through the resolution process.
For Employers: Employers whose employees receive a TNC must provide them with the further Action Notice from E-Verify and discuss it privately with them. Please review here for the steps in the process.
