What is TPS Registration or Re-registration?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) allows people from designated countries to remain, and in many cases work, in the United States during the current designation period. Initial registration or re-registration is done using Form I-821 with USCIS. Requirements, deadlines, and documents depend on the country of origin and the specific designation period. Visa Express prepares the corresponding form and organizes the supporting documents.

Who Might This Be Right For?

  • Are nationals of a country with a current TPS designation.
  • Need to register for the first time within the corresponding registration period.
  • Already hold TPS and need to re-register within the period indicated by USCIS.
  • Meet the required continuous presence and continuous residence requirements.
  • Do not have convictions or a record that would disqualify them from the benefit.

Each situation must be reviewed individually. Acceptance of the service is subject to the information and documents provided by the client.
