TPS + Work Permit – First-Time Application

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a humanitarian immigration status that allows individuals from designated countries facing armed conflict, natural disasters, or other dangerous conditions to legally stay in the U.S. TPS provides protection from deportation and the ability to apply for a Work Permit (Employment Authorization Document – EAD) to legally work in the U.S.

To qualify for TPS for the first time, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be a national of a TPS-designated country (or a person without nationality who last resided in a designated country).
  • Have continuously resided in the U.S. since the date required by USCIS.
  • Have been physically present in the U.S. since the effective TPS designation date.
  • Not have serious criminal convictions or other immigration violations that would make you ineligible.
