TEMPORARY PROTECTION STATUS (TPS)
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary immigration program that provides protection to certain foreign nationals who cannot return to their countries of origin due to extraordinary and temporary conditions, such as armed conflicts, natural disasters, epidemics, or other hazardous situations. Citizens of countries designated by the U.S. government may be eligible for TPS if they are present in the United States during the designation period and meet other specific requirements, such as having no serious criminal records. Some examples of nationalities that have been designated for TPS include:
- Afghanistan
- El Salvador
- Haiti
- Honduras
- Nicaragua
- Ukraine
- Venezuela
FAQS
Can I work in the U.S. with TPS?
Yes, once your TPS application is approved, you can apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to work legally in the United States.
Does TPS allow me to travel outside the U.S.?
Yes, but you need to apply for and receive a travel permit (Advance Parole) before leaving the U.S. to avoid losing your TPS status.
Does TPS lead to permanent residency?
Not directly. TPS is a temporary status that does not provide a direct path to permanent residency or citizenship. However, it does not prevent you from applying for other visas or status adjustments that may lead to permanent residency.
