As from June 24, 2015, the law for Temporary Protected Status for Nepalese will be implemented for 18 months until December 2016 – Nepal TPS. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1254a, the Secretary of Homeland Security may designate a foreign country for TPS (Temporary Protected Status) due to certain conditions. TPS is based on such conditions in the country that temporarily prevent the country’s nationals from returning safely, or in certain circumstances, where the country is unable to handle the return of its nationals adequately. USCIS may grant TPS to eligible nationals of certain countries (or parts of countries), who are already in the United States. Eligible individuals without nationality who last resided in the designated country may also be granted TPS.
By allowing TPS, the qualified Nepalese will be eligible for a work permit (EAD) and other benefits. If you need guidance or help on the TPS, call our office at (415) 643 4342
