TPS + Work Permit + Travel Authorization – First-Time Application

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a humanitarian immigration status that allows individuals from designated countries affected by conflict, natural disasters, or extraordinary conditions to legally stay in the U.S. TPS provides protection from deportation, eligibility for a Work Permit (Employment Authorization Document – EAD), and the option to apply for Travel Authorization (Advance Parole) to travel internationally and return to the U.S. legally.

• Have continuously resided in the U.S. since the date designated by USCIS.
• Have been physically present in the U.S. since the effective TPS designation date.
