TPS Information
What happens to non-citizens who are in the U.S. when an armed conflict or natural disaster makes their return home difficult or unsafe? Since 1990, temporary protected status, or “TPS”, has authorized citizens of designated countries where conditions are dangerous to reside and work temporarily in the U.S. Recently DHS extended TPS for the citizens of several countries.
