How do I apply for temporary protected status?

If you are from a country that is experiencing dangerous conditions like violence, environmental disasters, or other life-threatening situations, you may be able to apply for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in Idaho. TPS offers certain individuals the opportunity to live and work in the U.S. for a period of time. To apply for TPS in Idaho you must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as being from a country that is designated for TPS, and having continuously lived in the U.S. since the date the country was designated for TPS. The first step to applying for TPS in Idaho is to fill out the application form, Form I-821, for Temporary Protected Status. You must provide evidence that you are from a country designated for TPS and have been living in the United States since the designation date. Be sure to include any required supporting documentation, such as a birth certificate. After submitting the application, you will need to appear for a biometrics appointment at a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. At this appointment, you will have your fingerprints and photograph taken. You may also be interviewed by a USCIS official during this appointment. Once your application is approved, you will be granted temporary protection from deportation and be able to legally live and work in the US for a period of time. You must re-register for TPS every year to maintain your work authorization. If your application is denied, you may request a hearing with USCIS and make an argument as to why your application should be approved. It is important to remember that TPS is only a temporary form of protection and does not provide a pathway to becoming a permanent resident. If you are interested in applying for permanent residency, you will need to look into other options.
