We will start by saying that the Temporary Protected Status, TPS, is provisional support provided by the United States Department of Homeland Security, DHS, which allows the beneficiary to remain in the United States legally.
This condition can only be obtained by persons from specific and selected countries due to certain extraordinary conditions, with which they manage to live and work legally for six to 18 months depending on the case.
Said program can be extended according to the conditions of your country of origin, it should be remembered that the application must be renewed periodically and as indicated by law.
To carry out the application for the first time or any specific renewal, it is necessary to go to an immigration lawyer or a labor lawyer such as those that Conexión Legal has, who can assist you and carry out the process appropriately, avoiding rejections or any abuse during the process.
This type of protection is provided to people originally from a specific country or if that was the last place where they legally resided; however, both the country and the person must meet a series of conditions to receive the support.At Conexión Legal we have immigration lawyers who can advise you in case you need it; contact us through WhatsApp or Schedule your Consultation to learn about alternatives.

What Requirements Must a Person Meet to Be Benefited by Temporary Protected Status?
Immigrants who become TPS beneficiaries and who are eligible to receive a document indicating that they can work legally in the United States, generally cannot be relocated from this country, but will instead receive a travel authorization depending on the circumstances.
It should be noted that this is only a provisional permit, so it will never count as a permanent visa; however, there are a series of steps if you wish to obtain a Green Card.
