Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a time-limited status given to eligible nationals of designated countries who are present in the United States when circumstances in their home country make it unsafe to return. The status<\/p>
is afforded to nationals from countries affected by armed conflict, natural disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions, and allows eligible individuals to live and work in the United States temporarily. The length of a TPS designation can be anywhere from 6 to 18 months and can be extended for many years.<\/p>
At least 60 days prior to expiration of the TPS designation, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security must announce whether he\/she will extend or end the TPS designation. Announcements on whether TPS designations will be extended are posted online at https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov<\/a> or https:\/\/ www.uscis.gov\/humanitarian\/temporary-protected-status.<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t To confirm whether your country is designated for TPS, please consult your attorney.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t To be eligible for TPS, you must meet the following requirements:<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t *The law allows an exception to the continuous physical presence and continuous residence requirements for brief, casual, and innocent departures from the United States.

Upon receipt of your application materials, USCIS will send you a notice confirming the submission and eventually USCIS will send its decision on the case. If you receive TPS from USCIS, you will be permitted to work in the United States and to travel upon a grant of advance permission to travel.<\/p> You may register late for TPS during an extension of your country\u2019s TPS designation period, although you must satisfy one of USCIS\u2019s requirements for a late filing, as well as all TPS eligibility requirements described above. If you intend to submit a late initial application, it is recommended that you consult with your attorney before submitting your application.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Source: \u00a92022 American Immigration Lawyers Association<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tAs of May 2022, the following countries are currently designated for TPS:<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
