What is a requirement for obtaining Temporary Protected Status (TPS)?

  1. You must show you are a permanent U.S. resident

  2. You must demonstrate residence in a designated country

  3. You must have never been arrested

  4. You must have a U.S. citizen sponsor

The correct answer is: You must demonstrate residence in a designated country

To obtain Temporary Protected Status (TPS), demonstrating residence in a designated country is essential. This status is provided to individuals from certain countries that are experiencing significant problems, such as armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions, preventing safe return. The requirement ensures that only individuals from the designated country affected by such circumstances can apply for relief, thereby establishing the necessity of their residence in that country prior to the TPS designation. This requirement directly aligns with the purpose of TPS, which aims to protect vulnerable populations affected by crises in their home countries. Successfully meeting this criterion is a crucial first step in the application process for TPS.
