Yes, as long as you do not have criminal convictions that would make you ineligible for TPS, and as long as you have been present in the United States since the 'designation date' for your home country. A TPS application will not affect any other status that you hold, and it will not affect your asylum application. TPS designation may offer you extra protection if your other applications are delayed or denied. TPS also offers a pathway to a temporary work permit. Call our office to schedule a free consultation with our attorney to learn whether you are eligible for TPS for your specific country of origin.
