Temporary Protected Status Extended for Salvadorans
USCIS announced that it extended TPS (Temporary Protected Status) for eligible nationals of El Salvador for an additional 18 months, beginning Sept. 10, 2013, and ending March 9, 2015.
TPS is a temporary status allowing citizens of certain countries to remain in the U.S. even if they entered the U.S. illegally. A person granted TPS is also eligible for an employment authorization. The TPS status by itself does not “erase” an illegal entry but protects its holder from deportation.
