If USCIS needs to collect your photograph, signature, and/or fingerprints (these are called biometrics), USCIS will send you an appointment notice to have your biometrics captured at an Application Support Center (ASC). Every TPS applicant over 14 years old must have their biometrics collected. Biometrics are required for identity verification, background checks and the production of an EAD, if one has been requested.

Is TPS status given automatically?

No, TPS is not automatic. People must apply, pay a filing fee, and pass immigration screening. The application process can be complicated, and we recommend contacting a licensed immigration attorney.

An application for TPS does not affect an application for asylum or any other immigration benefit and vice versa. Denial of an application for asylum or any other immigration benefit does not affect your ability to register for TPS, although the grounds of denial of that application may also lead to denial of TPS

The main difference between TPS and asylum is the fact that asylum takes into consideration individual circumstances for people from all countries, whereas TPS is provided by the U.S. government to select countries, in response to circumstances that exist in the entire country. To be granted asylum, you must prove that you specifically were already persecuted in your home country or have a reasonable fear of being persecuted in the future, on account of one of the five asylum grounds. To learn more about these five asylum grounds, please read our post on the basics of asylum. Additionally, you must provide evidence of specific instances of your persecution for asylum.

TPS, on the other hand, is a designation granted to entire countries. Each year, USCIS releases a list of TPS countries, and anyone from these countries who can prove residence and/or nationality requirements can be granted TPS. It does not require an individual burden of proof. Rather, TPS is designed to protect immigrants coming from countries with political, economic, or social strife.

If you leave the United States without requesting advance parole, you may lose TPS and you may not be permitted to re-enter the United States.

If USCIS is still adjudicating your TPS application, you may miss important USCIS notices, such as Requests for Additional Evidence, while you are outside the U.S. Failure to respond to these requests may result in the denial of your application.

If you have TPS and wish to travel outside the United States, you must apply for travel authorization. Travel authorization for TPS is issued as an advance parole document if USCIS determines it is appropriate to approve your request. This document gives you permission to leave the United States and return during a specified period of time. To apply for advance parole, you must file an Application for Travel Document.

You can apply for TPS for the first time during an extension of your country’s TPS designation period. If you qualify to file your initial TPS application late, you must still independently meet all the TPS eligibility requirements.

To qualify to file your initial TPS application late, you must meet at least one of the late initial filing conditions below:

• During either the initial registration period of your country’s designation or during any subsequent initial registration period if your country was re-designated you met one of the following conditions, and you register while the condition still exists or within a 60-day period immediately following the expiration or termination of such condition

o You were a nonimmigrant, were granted voluntary departure status, or any relief from removal

o You had an application for change of status, adjustment of status, asylum, voluntary departure, or any relief from removal which was pending or subject to further review or appeal

o You were a parolee or had a pending request for re-parole

o You are a spouse of an individual who is currently eligible for TPS

OR

• During either the initial registration period of your country’s designation or during any subsequent initial registration period if your country was re-designated you were a child of an individual who is currently eligible for TPS. There is no time limitation on filing if you meet this condition. So if your parent is currently eligible for TPS and you were his or her child (unmarried and under 21 years old) at any time during a TPS initial registration period for your country, you may still be eligible for late initial filing even if you are now over 21 years old or married. You may file during an extension of your TPS designated country.

To be eligible for TPS, you must:

• Be a national of a country designated for TPS, or a person without nationality who last habitually resided in the designated country

• File during the open initial registration or re-registration period, or you meet the requirements for late initial filing during any extension of your country’s TPS designation

• Have been continuously physically present (CPP) in the United States since the effective date of the most recent designation date of your country

• Have been continuously residing (CR) in the United States since the date specified for your country. The law allows an exception to the continuous physical presence and continuous residence requirements for brief, casual and innocent departures from the United States. When you apply or re-register for TPS, you must inform USCIS of all absences from the United States since the CPP and CR dates. USCIS will determine whether the exception applies in your case.
