USCIS further advises Salvadorans who have timely filed for TPS re-registration, believe they should have received a renewal EAD, and have not received a renewal EAD by March 9, 2004 to "immediately contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center...,the Embassy of El Salvador..., or a Salvadoran Consulate in their vicinity."
