Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a temporary legal immigration status for certain people from designated countries. Congress established a procedure that allows Immigration to provide TPS to people in the United States who are temporarily unable to return to their home country because of environmental disasters, ongoing armed conflicts or other extraordinary conditions.  If you or a loved one is in need of TPS, the law firm of Budris & Barrios are highly experienced Los Angeles Immigration defense attorneys who can assist you with the application process.  We have successfully helped many to achieve temporary status.

Currently citizens of Nicaragua, Angola, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Somalia, El Salvador, Sudan, Honduras and Montserrat as eligible to register for Temporary Protective Status. Below are the requirements that must be met by applicants for TPS:

• Applicants must establish continuous physical presence and continuous residence in the United States for a period of time identified by the relevant regulation;
• Applicants must be subject to several criminal and security-related bars;
• Applicants must register for TPS benefits within the time period identified by the relevant regulation.

Generally Temporary Protective Status is granted or extended on an annual basis, although in some cases, Temporary Protective Status is granted on a bi-annual basis.  Each member of the family must meet the eligibility requirements and apply independently to receive the benefits of TPS.
