Understanding Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of temporary immigration relief offered to individuals from countries facing significant challenges. It is granted by the Department of Homeland Security to immigrants who would face danger if they were deported to their home country. However, eligibility for TPS is limited to immigrants from specific countries chosen by Homeland Security.

How Temporary Protected Status (TPS) Functions

The secretary of Homeland Security can designate TPS for countries experiencing ongoing crises such as environmental disasters, armed conflicts, or other exceptional circumstances.

List of Countries Currently Eligible for TPS

As of April 2024, there are eleven countries designated for temporary protected status. These include:

• El Salvador

• Haiti

• Honduras

• Nepal

• Nicaragua

• Somalia

• South Sudan

• Sudan

• Syria

• Venezuela

• Yemen
  

Advantages of Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Individuals granted TPS are eligible for a work permit and are shielded from deportation for a specified period. If you are from one of the listed countries, you may qualify for TPS but must demonstrate continuous residence in the United States and apply during the initial registration period.
