Program

In light of the administration's announcement designating Haiti for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) following the devastating earthquake, it is anticipated that thousands will need assistance in determining their eligibility, and applying, for this special benefit. This workshop will provide an overview of TPS, how to prepare and file an application, TPS for dependents, TPS for clients in proceedings, appealing a TPS denial, and advising clients on travel and other issues. The speakers will also cover options for Haitian nationals who do not qualify for TPS.
