Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is an important form of protection and there has been a significant increase in the number of TPS designated countries in recent years. But TPS is a limited form of relief and TPS holders should consider other, more permanent forms of status. This webinar will provide an overview of the benefits of TPS and the new TPS travel policy. It will also explore how TPS intersects with other temporary and humanitarian programs as well as identify strategies for more permanent forms of immigration status TPS holders might be able to secure, including family-based immigration, asylum, and others.
