TPS, or Temporary Protected Status, is a form of humanitarian relief provided by the U.S. government to individuals from designated countries who are unable to return safely due to conflict, natural disaster, or other extraordinary conditions.
Check right now some circumstances under which TPS can be terminated:
Improvement of conditions in the designated country: If the U.S. government determines that conditions in the designated country have improved to the point that TPS is no longer necessary, TPS can be terminated for that country;
Inadequate documentation: If an individual fails to re-register for TPS or provide adequate documentation to support their TPS eligibility, their TPS can be terminated;
Criminal activity: If an individual is convicted of a crime, their TPS can be terminated;
Discontinuation of TPS for the designated country: The U.S. government can decide to discontinue TPS for a designated country, even if conditions have not fully improved, based on foreign policy or other considerations;
Once TPS is terminated, individuals who previously held TPS status are expected to depart the United States or obtain alternative immigration status if they are eligible to do so.
If they do not depart the U.S. or obtain another immigration status, they may become removable (subject to deportation) and lose their eligibility for certain benefits.
It is important to note that TPS termination does not automatically lead to removal, as there may be other forms of relief available, such as withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture.
Additionally, TPS holders may be eligible for other forms of relief, such as adjustment of status, if they meet certain requirements.
What happens after TPS ends?
Upon termination of TPS, individuals revert back to the immigration status they held prior to receiving TPS, unless that status has lapsed, or they have obtained a new immigration status through other means.
