Temporary Protected Status (TPS)
• TPS offers protection from removal (deportation) and a work permit (employment authorization document, or “EAD”) for as long as a country’s TPS designation remains in effect. TPS is designated by the Department of Homeland Security for specific countries for specific reasons. TPS is not a status all immigrants are eligible for and it does not lead to a green card.

• You do not need TPS if you have lawful immigration status in the United States, including if you have been approved for asylum, have a green card, or have become a U.S. citizen.

• Each family member who is eligible must apply individually.

• Government filing fees apply, unless you qualify for a fee waiver based on your income. If you have Medicaid, the fastest way to receive a fee waiver is by asking for a “Medicaid letter” from the New York City Human Resources Administration (1-866-692-6116) or the New York State Department of Health (1-855-355-5777). You must contact the agency which granted your Medicaid. If you enrolled in Medicaid at a physical office in New York City, you likely received it from HRA. If you enrolled in Medicaid online or by phone, you may have received it from the New York State Department of Health.

• The most recent TPS designations include Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Cameroon.

• Additional eligibility criteria apply, including residence in the United States continuously from a specific date, listed below:

Ethiopia – Resided in the United States since October 20, 2022

Sudan – Resided in the United States since March 1, 2022

South Sudan – Resided in the United States since March 1, 2022

Cameroon – Resided in the United States since April 14, 2022

• Please contact us at +1 212 222 3882 ext. 2173 and leave a message with your name, email, the name of the country you are from, and phone number. Please say you are calling us about “TPS.” You may also email us with that same information at legalhotline@africanservices.org.
