Statuses reflect the public record — USCIS TPS page, EOIR notices, Federal Register and CRS R49346 (Oct 2026). Court rulings can change a status within days; the verification date above is what we could confirm.
Understanding TPS
What does TPS actually give?+
Protection from deportation plus work authorization for people already in the U.S. when their country is designated. It is temporary by statute and does not by itself lead to a green card.
My country’s TPS was terminated — what now?+
Termination usually takes effect on a set date, not instantly, and court cases have delayed several of them. Your own options — asylum, other statuses, voluntary departure — depend on your case; accredited legal help matters more than ever. See our immigrant services directory.
What does “in litigation” mean?+
A court challenged the termination but the legal fight is unresolved. Until a final ruling, the government’s termination generally stays in effect — as it did when the 9th Circuit stayed the Northern California vacatur in February 2026.
Where do I check my own status?+
USCIS maintains the official country pages and your EAD validity is tied to the Federal Register notice for your designation. Verify at uscis.gov/tps — never rely on a summary page (including this one) for a decision.
