Temporary Protected Status
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a U.S. immigration program that allows individuals from designated countries experiencing crises—like armed conflict or natural disasters—to live and work in the U.S. temporarily. TPS is granted for limited periods and can be renewed if conditions in the home country remain unsafe. While TPS provides legal status, it does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship. Eligible individuals must apply for the status and meet specific requirements to qualify.
