Can Venezuelans Apply for TPS now?

3/9/2021

As of today, March 9, 2021, the answer is yes: President Biden has authorized TPS (Temporary Protected Status) for Venezuelans. This status provides protection from deportation, work authorization, possible travel authorization, and possibly a path toward permanent residence.

Requirements include proof of Venezuelan nationality, proof of continuous residence in the United States since March 9, 2021, and a record free of certain criminal and immigration violations. Consult with an attorney to see if you qualify.
