Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a U.S. government program that offers temporary legal status to individuals from certain countries experiencing crises, such as war, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. TPS allows eligible individuals to live and work in the U.S. safely without facing deportation for a designated period. Each country is assessed periodically, and TPS can be extended or terminated depending on the situation. However, TPS does not lead to permanent residency or citizenship; it is a temporary solution offering protection while conditions improve in the home country.
