Frequently Asked Questions
What is Temporary Protected Status (TPS)?
TPS is an immigration status that protects foreign nationals from designated countries who are unable to safely return home due to armed conflict, environmental disaster, or other extraordinary conditions. It provides protection from removal and eligibility for work authorization.
Who may qualify for TPS?
Nationals of a country currently designated for TPS by the Department of Homeland Security who meet the continuous residence and physical presence requirements, and who do not have certain disqualifying criminal or immigration violations, may qualify.
Does TPS lead to a green card?
TPS does not directly lead to lawful permanent residence, but it protects you from removal and allows you to work legally while your country’s designation remains in effect.
What happens if my country’s TPS designation ends?
If a country’s TPS designation is terminated or not extended, TPS holders may lose their protection and work authorization unless they qualify for another immigration status.
Do I need to re-register for TPS?
Yes. TPS holders must re-register during each re-registration period announced by USCIS to maintain their status and employment authorization.
How can an immigration attorney help?
An experienced attorney can evaluate your eligibility, prepare and file your TPS application and work authorization request, help you meet re-registration deadlines, and guide you through the process to protect your status.
