Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
— The Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS due to conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.
— Temporary Protected Status is a status that is available to countries that include but are not limited to the following: Afghanistan, Cameroon, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal and Sudan. For more information visit the USCIS site here!
