TPS

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of protection the U.S. government offers to people from certain countries that are experiencing serious problems, like:

  • War or armed conflict

  • Natural disasters (such as earthquakes or hurricanes)

  • Other extraordinary conditions that make it unsafe to return home

If you are from one of the countries currently designated for TPS, you may qualify to:

  • Stay in the U.S. legally for a set period of time,

  • Apply for a work permit, so you can legally work here,

  • Apply for a travel permit (advance parole), and

  • Avoid deportation while you have TPS.

A few important things to know:

  • TPS does not lead to a green card or citizenship by itself, but having TPS can sometimes help if you apply for another immigration benefit.

  • You must already be in the U.S. when TPS is granted and meet certain eligibility requirements (like passing a background check).

  • TPS is temporary — it lasts for a set period (usually 6 to 18 months) but can be extended by the government.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, request a consultation today and we will review your situation, check your country’s status, and help you apply if you qualify.
