Temporary Protected Status Designation

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a humanitarian program that the U.S. government grants to eligible nationals of designated countries experiencing ongoing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. It allows them to stay, work legally, and avoid deportation for a limited period. TPS does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship but provides temporary relief during dangerous or unstable situations in their home countries. Designation periods can be extended if conditions persist, offering affected individuals stability and protection while they cannot safely return home.
