Suppose you’ve never applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) before. In that case, this article will explain the process and what you need to know about eligibility requirements, the re-registration period, and evidence of good cause. So, how to apply for TPS? Then you can fill out the application for your first TPS!
Application process
The application process for the first TPS can take several weeks to complete. You must submit biometrics and the necessary documents to the Application Support Center. You will also need to submit Form I-765, even if you don’t need an employment authorization document. If you do, you won’t pay the government fee for the EAD. TPS is good for six, twelve, or eighteen months. Depending on your country of origin, you can apply for multiple extensions of your TPS.
After filling out the application form, you must submit all required documents. First, you must provide proof of citizenship and evidence of your last entry into the United States. These documents must be official copies from the Embassy or Consulate of the country where you currently reside. Second, you must provide an affidavit of support from a friend or family member. Your affidavit of support should state your birthplace, date of birth, nationality, and parents’ nationality.
Eligibility requirements
To qualify for a TPS status, you must have continuously resided in the United States since the effective date of your most recent TPS designation. In addition, you must be at least 14 years old and have never been convicted of a felony in the United States. You must also meet the biometric requirements for this program. Besides these basic requirements, applicants must also fulfill specific language and other immigration requirements. Listed below are the details of the application process.
Nationals of designated countries cannot automatically apply for TPS. They must register during a specific period and pay significant fees. Additionally, their immigration status is irrelevant. Neither do they need to have a previous order of removal from the United States. If you are not eligible for TPS, you will not be able to apply for it. There are several eligibility requirements, so you must take the time to learn more about them.
Re-registration period
When applying for TPS, you need to know how many years are left on your initial TPS and how long you must wait before you can re-register. You should also know that you may need to re-register if you wish to continue to enjoy TPS. To determine when the re-registration period will begin, you can look at the Federal Register Notice and the country-specific instructions.
To qualify for re-registration, you must have been continuously present in the United States since the date the country was designated as a TPS. You must also have been physically present and residing in the U.S. since the TPS country’s most recent designation. Once you have received your initial TPS, you can apply to extend it for up to three years. There are also late-registration requirements.
Evidence of good cause for late application
The first thing you should know before filing a late application for the first TPS is what constitutes a good reason. A late application for TPS may not be granted unless the applicant can demonstrate that they could not apply on time. In addition, certain circumstances may qualify as a good reason for filing a late application, such as serious illness, a recent hospitalization, or a lack of capacity.
Another good reason to file a late application for TPS is that if you missed the automatic extension period, your application was not approved on time. For example, it is the case if your notario fails to explain to you that the automatic extension period expired on January 1, 2019. In this case, you can file a late application for the first TPS by mentioning the reason you missed the deadline. Then, the USCIS will evaluate whether you had good cause for missing the deadline and grant you the extra time to complete your application. If they grant you the waiver, your TPS status will last until January 5, 2020.
Duration of TPS
During the first three months of a TPS, an individual may be eligible for temporary treatment benefits. During this time, they must re-register to receive those benefits. If their TPS is over, they must apply for permanent residency and can continue to receive temporary treatment benefits. To learn more about TPS and how to get it, read on!

To be eligible, you must have lived in the United States since December 30, 1998. In addition, you must provide documentation proving you are a U.S. citizen to obtain your TPS.
