It's TPS registration time for nationals and citizens of El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. If you or any friends of family members are from these countries, they may need to take immediate action before the end of 2008.
Temporary Protected Status is a temporary immigration status granted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to nationals of certain countries that are deemed to be experiencing temporary negative conditions such as armed conflict or environmental disasters that make it difficult for the nationals to return in safety, or for the countries to accept their return. Law: INA section 244. TPS beneficiaries are not subject to removal from the United States and are eligible for work authorization.
TPS, like other parts of U.S. Immigration law is somewhat of a conundrum. It has been called a "gift" to the citizens of the countries whom are designated beneficiaries, and politics has been rumored to be a significant factor. It is not clear why after the devastating 2004 Tsunami in South Asia or the massive 1999 Earthquakes in Turkey which claimed tens of thousands of lives, those countries were not designated.
