How do I apply for temporary protected status?

To apply for Temporary Protected Status in Washington, you must provide evidence that you have been in the state for a certain amount of time and that you qualify under the current U.S. immigration laws. You must also meet other requirements in order to be eligible for this status. The first step to apply for Temporary Protected Status is to obtain an Application for Temporary Protected Status (Form I-821) from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This form is available for free on the USCIS website, or you may obtain it from the nearest USCIS office. Once you have completed the form, you should gather any required supporting documents and submit them either online or in person. These documents may include proof of your identity, such as a passport or birth certificate, as well as evidence of your residence in the state. In addition, you must present proof that you meet the requirements for Temporary Protected Status. This may include documents showing that you have been in the United States for at least three consecutive months and that you are either unable to return to your home country due to certain circumstances, or that you have a fear of persecution if you return. Once you have submitted the form and all of the required documents, your application will be reviewed by USCIS and you will receive a decision regarding your eligibility. If you are approved, you will be granted Temporary Protected Status. If you are denied, you may appeal the decision.
