The government has designated Nepal for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for a period of 18 months effective today through December 24, 2016.

Nepalese nationals (and aliens having no nationality who last habitually resided in Nepal) who have continuously resided in the United States since June 24, 2015, and have been continuously physically present in the United States since June 24, 2015, may be granted TPS.

Folks have 180 days to file paperwork with the USCIS.

This is a welcome development for a country that has suffered tremendously in the wake of its devastating April 2015 earthquake.
