Legal protection and work authorization for nationals of crisis-affected countries.
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary immigration status granted to nationals of designated countries facing ongoing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. TPS allows eligible individuals to remain and work legally in the United States until conditions in their home country improve. While TPS does not lead directly to a green card, beneficiaries may apply for other immigration benefits if eligible.
TPS provides protection from deportation and work authorization (EAD) for a specific period as designated by the U.S. government. If a country’s TPS designation is extended, individuals must re- register to maintain their status.
