Understanding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) With Our Chicago Lawyers

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) serves as a beacon of hope for eligible nationals from certain designated foreign states, offering them temporary immigration status, which allows them to stay and work in the United States under specified conditions.

Benefits and Privileges Under TPS

Beneficiaries of TPS are accorded several benefits, including:

Permission to Stay in the U.S.: Beneficiaries can reside in the U.S. during the designated TPS period.
Employment Authorization: TPS status allows beneficiaries to apply for and obtain Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) as long as they meet ongoing TPS requirements.
Discretionary Travel Authorization: TPS beneficiaries may be granted travel authorization by the DHS on a discretionary basis.

Ensuring Eligibility and Compliance

To access the benefits provided through TPS, beneficiaries must adhere to eligibility standards as outlined under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Understanding and fulfilling these conditions is pivotal for maintaining and extending TPS benefits.

Your Pathway Post-TPS Designation Termination

Post-TPS designation termination, beneficiaries either:

Return to their previous immigration status or category (unless expired or terminated).
Retain any other lawfully obtained immigration status obtained during TPS, provided it remains valid.

The Procedure for Designating a Country for TPS

The Secretary holds the discretionary authority to designate a foreign state for TPS, following particular protocols and based on specific country conditions.

Decision-Making and Review Mechanism for TPS

The Secretary conducts a comprehensive review of a foreign state’s conditions for TPS designation before expiration. Based on findings, the Secretary can either extend or terminate the TPS designation for the concerned foreign state.

Someone rear-ended my car last spring and I was injured. Peter and Sofia Zneimer and they staff were professional and were always available by phone.

Overall, a very good trusted experience. Natig M.

I have dealt with Sofia Zneimer since 2009. She is a great lawyer and has helped me tremendously in navigating the process of green card. She is a great resource to have by your side. She is easy to reach. She responds very quickly, which was very important for me. If she can’t answer the question the same day, she does let you know that she is working on it. I would have no hesitation in recruiting her. Hemant S.
