What are the real prospects of a TPS approval in 2021? First, the basics: A Temporary Protection Status, or TPS, is a temporary immigration status provided to people of certain countries experiencing problems that make it difficult or unsafe for them to be deported. The TPS option was included in the Immigration Act of 1990 that Congress approved, to temporarily protect people whose countries were experiencing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. Ideally, this benefit would allow those migrants in irregular status to have work permits, and it would prevent any deportation due to violations of immigration law—for people in the United States at the time the measure is approved.
