United States Temporary Protected Status Services
Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a humanitarian immigration benefit that allows individuals from designated countries to live and work legally in the United States when conditions in their home country—such as war, natural disasters, or political crises—make it unsafe to return. While TPS does not lead directly to a green card, it offers important protections from deportation and the ability to obtain work authorization.
However, TPS is not permanent. Designations can end, and in recent years, many TPS holders from countries like El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, and others have faced uncertainty as their protections are terminated or scheduled to expire. At Cruz Torres Legal Services, we help individuals nationwide prepare for the loss of TPS and evaluate every legal option available to remain in the U.S. lawfully.
If You’ve Lost or Are Losing TPS, You Must Act Now
Losing TPS status means you will no longer have lawful presence in the U.S., which can put you at immediate risk of enforcement, including detention or removal. If your work permit is expiring or your country’s designation has ended or is about to end, now is the time to seek legal advice. Simply waiting or assuming the situation will change can be dangerous.
At Cruz Torres Legal Services, we offer comprehensive legal evaluations for current and former TPS holders to determine whether they qualify for another form of relief under U.S. immigration law. This may include options like adjustment of status, asylum, family-based petitions, waivers, or other humanitarian programs.
Evaluating Every Option for Legal Status
Many TPS holders have lived in the U.S. for years, established families, and built strong community ties. These facts can create opportunities for more permanent immigration solutions—but only if they are explored with care and urgency. Our firm conducts thorough case reviews to assess potential eligibility based on your immigration history, family connections, employment background, and any changes in personal circumstances.
Even if no immediate pathway to permanent status exists, we also advise on temporary protections such as deferred action or prosecutorial discretion. In some situations, voluntary departure may be the safest way to avoid the consequences of remaining in the U.S. unlawfully after TPS ends. Every case is unique, and we tailor our guidance to your specific needs and goals.
Legal Support Beyond the Application Process
While we assist with new TPS applications and re-registration when eligible, our primary focus is helping those who are about to lose—or have already lost—TPS protection. We act quickly to help clients understand their rights, avoid falling out of status, and make informed decisions about their future. Delaying action after losing TPS can make it harder to qualify for relief later.
