Stay in The US
With a Temporary Protected Status
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is an option for eligible individuals to obtain legal status in the US for a temporary period of time. Immigration authorities determine which countries do not provide a safe environment for their own citizens to go back to. TPS beneficiaries are not asked to leave the United States and can get work authorization for some time, which can be prolonged.
A Temporary Protected Status doesn’t automatically provide a permanent resident status. However, it allows citizens from designated countries to live and work in the United States while it is still considered unsafe to go back to their countries of origin.
The Secretary can select any given country for Temporary Protected Status because of a number of temporary conditions in the country such as armed conflict (civil war), environmental disaster (hurricane or earthquake) or an epidemic situation.

Key Facts About Temporary Protected Status
- If you are granted Temporary Protected Status, you must stay continuously in the U.S. Although, permission to travel abroad could be given by the district director. if you fail to obtain advance parole before traveling abroad, this could result in the removal of your Temporary Protected Status.
- if you are 14 years of age or older, you must submit a biometric service fee. If you are between the ages of 14 and 65 and are seeking employment permission, you must also fill in and present the Form I-765.
- If you receive confirmation of your Temporary Protected Status, you may get work authorization. When you apply for TPS, you must submit a USCIS Form I-765, which is an Application for Employment Authorization. In addition to that, you must also pay the appropriate fee to request a work permit.

As an illegal immigrant, I hired Alice Antonovsky to help me fix my migratory situation. I had followed some bad advice in the past and really wanted to come clean with immigration authorities. Ms. Antonovsky was very helpful and helped me understand there was still a chance for my family to stay together. Thank you!

I escaped a violent past from a very unstable family a few years ago. Coming to the United States was my survival option. Being here, I met people who helped me out in different ways. They advised me to get a professional assessment on my immigration situation. Luckily, I went to Alice for help and she did not disappoint. I can absolutely recommend her legal services.
