Afghan TPS Update!!

Written By Lisa Shea, Esq.

On May 19, 2022, the Department of Homeland Security designated Afghanistan for temporary protected status (TPS) for 18 months from May 20, 2022, to November 20, 2023. The designation allows for Afghan nationals to file initial applications for TPS who have continuously resided in the United States since March 15, 2022. TPS grantees qualify for employment authorization documents and must undergo background security checks. We are happy to assist our Afghan clients with the process of obtaining TPS.
