Our Temporary Protected Status Legal Services

At The Law Office of Cristea & Tatti, we offer a full range of services related to Temporary Protected Status. We are committed to providing comprehensive support and guidance throughout the entire TPS process. Our services include:

  • Initial TPS Application
    The first step to obtaining TPS is submitting a comprehensive application to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Our Temporary Protected Status attorneys will help you determine if you qualify for TPS and guide you through the application process. We ensure that all required documentation is accurately prepared and submitted on time, increasing the likelihood of approval.
  • TPS Renewal and Extension
    If you already have TPS, it’s crucial to renew your status before it expires to maintain your legal protection. We assist with the TPS renewal process, ensuring that your application is filed on time and that all requirements are met to extend your protection in the U.S.
  • TPS Denials and Appeals
    If your TPS application has been denied, we will work closely with you to understand the reasons for the denial and determine your options. Our attorneys are experienced in handling appeals and will fight for a fair decision. We will carefully review the decision, gather additional supporting evidence, and represent you in front of USCIS to resolve the issue.
  • Adjustment of Status from TPS
    In some cases, individuals with TPS may be eligible to adjust their status to lawful permanent residency (green card). If this is the case for you, we will guide you through the application process, helping you transition from temporary to permanent status in the U.S.
  • TPS and Family-Based Immigration
    We can also assist you in bringing your family members to the U.S. while you hold TPS. If you are a TPS holder and wish to reunite with your family, our team will help with the immigration petition process, ensuring that your loved ones can join you under legal protection.

The process of applying for, renewing, or adjusting TPS status can be overwhelming, but with the right legal help, it doesn’t have to be. Here’s an overview of the TPS process:

  • Eligibility and Initial Consultation
    The first step is to determine whether you are eligible for TPS. During your consultation, our Temporary Protected Status attorneys will assess your situation, explain the eligibility requirements, and determine if you qualify for protection under TPS.
  • Filing the TPS Application
    Once eligibility is established, we will help you gather the necessary documentation and prepare your TPS application for submission to USCIS. This includes filling out the required forms, providing evidence of your identity and nationality, and proving that you meet the requirements for TPS based on the conditions in your home country.
  • Biometrics Appointment
    After your application is submitted, you may be required to attend a biometrics appointment where USCIS will take your fingerprints and photos for background checks. We will ensure that you are prepared for this step and that you meet all requirements.
  • Approval and Issuance of TPS
    If your application is approved, you will be granted Temporary Protected Status, which allows you to live and work legally in the U.S. We will help you understand the terms of your TPS approval, including the length of time it is valid and your responsibilities while under TPS protection.
  • Renewal and Extensions
    TPS status must be renewed periodically, and we will assist you with the renewal process to ensure that there is no lapse in your protection. Our attorneys will track deadlines and guide you through the renewal process to maintain your legal status.
  • Adjustment of Status to Permanent Residency
    If you are eligible, we can help you transition from TPS to lawful permanent residency. This process involves filing for a green card and meeting the requirements. We will guide you through every step of this process, helping you secure your permanent future in the U.S.

It depends on the county where the Family Court is located. For example, cases filed in Nassau or Suffolk counties are resolved within three to six months.

Most SIJS cases require two appearances before a Family Court judge.

You must be single, under 21 years of age, demonstrate that you were abused, abandoned, or neglected by one or both parents when living with them. You must have a proposed guardian who looks out for your best interests, and is approved by the Family Court judge. Lastly, the Family Court judge must determine that it is in the minor’s best interest not to be reunited with one or both parents.

SIJS is a bifurcated process. A Family Court judge must first determine that you meet the requirements noted above. Once proceedings in Family Court are concluded, an immigration judge can then close the case and permit you to continue adjusting with USCIS. In the end, you will be granted legal permanent residence (LPR).

Certain applications, such as asylum, permit you to apply for a work permit once the waiting period is satisfied. Depending on the application submitted or action taken by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, it comes with work permit benefits.
