U.S. restores path to green card for some TPS holders
July 19, 2022
This month, USCIS issued a memorandum to restore a process that had previously been available for years until the Trump administration changed it. The process allows immigrants that have entered the U.S. illegally but who now have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to travel outside the U.S. and upon return be officially inspected and admitted back into the country. If the person is married to a U.S. citizen or has a child over 21 who is a U.S. citizen, they could apply for a green card through family sponsorship. Immigration lawyers estimate thousands of TPS holders could benefit from this policy. Previously, under the Trump administration, TPS beneficiaries were able to apply for a travel authorization but would return to the U.S. to the same status they had when they left.
