| 10. |
How does the Secretary of Homeland Security decide on the duration of my Temporary Protected Status? | | | |
| | Before the end of the TPS designation period, the Secretary of Homeland Security will review the conditions in the designated state and determine whether the conditions that led to the TPS designation continue to be met. Unless a determination is made that those conditions are no longer met, the TPS designation will be extended for six, twelve or eighteen months. If the conditions that led to the TPS designation
are no longer met, the Secretary of Homeland Security will terminate the TPS designation. Designations, extensions, terminations and other information regarding TPS are published in the Federal Register. |
| 11. | Can I obtain work permit on Temporary Protected Status? |
| | | | | Yes, if your TPS application is approved, you will receive work authorization, if requested. At the same time you apply for Temporary Protected
Status, you must submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and the appropriate fee to apply for a work permit. |
| 12. | Can I travel outside the U.S. on Temporary Protected Status? | | | |
| | No, you must remain continuously physically present in the United States on TPS. The grant of TPS status does not mean that you have permission to travel abroad, though permission to travel may be granted by the district director according to the Service's
advance parole provisions. Failure to obtain Advance Parole prior to traveling abroad may result in the withdrawal of your TPS and/or the institution or re-calendaring of removal proceedings. |
| 13. | Does Temporary Protected Status lead to permanent resident status? |
| | | | | No, TPS does not lead to permanent resident status. When the Secretary of Homeland Security terminates your TPS designation, you will return to the same immigration status you had before TPS unless that status
has expired or has been terminated, or to any other status you may have been granted while in TPS. |
