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.

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!

Pat Rajender

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.

“ I first entered the U.S. illegally in 2000 from El Salvador. Due to the earthquake that shook my country in 2001, I was eligible for Temporary Protected Status. A lawyer helped me get TPS back then. However, in 2010, I was convicted of a DUI. Because of this, I lost my TPS. I was devastated! Luckily, a friend recommended Alice Antonovsky. After my consultation with her, I trusted she could help me. Even though my case was complicated, she didn't give up. She diligently argued on my behalf, getting my charges dropped. Now she's helping me reapply for TPS. Very happy!”
