TPS Lebanon | Temporary Protected Status

TPS के हो?

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people in the United States. TPS is for people who cannot go back to their home country because of danger, such as an armed conflict or environmental disaster.

तपाईंसँग TPS छ भने तपाईं निम्न कार्य गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ:

कानुनी रूपमा अमेरिकामा केही समय बस्छु।
अमेरिकामा काम गर्न चाहिने अनुमति पत्रका लागि आवेदन दिनुहोस्
Apply to travel outside of the U.S.
हिरासत र निर्वासनबाट सुरक्षित रहनुहोस्।

You will not get any of the benefits of TPS until your application is approved. TPS is temporary. It does not give you lawful permanent status, citizenship, or any permanent immigration status.

Go to the USCIS TPS Lebanon page for more details.

How to apply

You must wait for the federal register to be published before you can apply. We will update this page when it is.

You can apply for TPS Lebanon by filing Form I-821. You can file your application online or by mail with USCIS.

You must send documents showing proof of your identity, nationality, and date of entry. These are listed in the What to File section.

You must pay a fee if you are applying for TPS for the first time. You might be able to apply for a fee waiver if you can’t afford to pay the fee. Learn how to use the USCIS fee calculator.

It is important to apply as soon as possible. The last day to apply is May 27, 2026, but that is also the last day TPS for Lebanon is currently available.

Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) for Lebanon may offer you some protections too. You do not need to apply for it. Learn more.

What happens next

USCIS will review your application and send you a receipt notice. You can check the status of your application online by typing in your receipt number. If you do not get a receipt within 3 weeks of filing, you can call the USCIS Contact Center.

You may get a letter asking for more evidence. This could be your photo, fingerprints, signature, and other documents.

You will get a letter approving or denying your application. If you applied for a work permit, you will also get information about your application.

If you do not get TPS, you will get information on whether and how you can appeal their decision.

श्रम स्वीकृति

TPS भएका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि वर्क परमिटहरू उपलब्ध छन् र यी रोजगार प्राधिकरण कागजात (EAD) को रूपमा चिनिन्छन्। यसले रोजगारदाताहरूलाई देखाउँछ कि तपाईंलाई संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकामा काम गर्न अनुमति छ।

You can apply for work authorization by filing Form I-765. It is recommended to apply at the same time you apply for TPS. Filing both forms together may help you get an EAD faster. You can also apply after.

If you apply during the current registration period, your work permit will be valid through May 27, 2026.

यात्रा अनुमति

TPS भएका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि यात्रा अनुमतिहरू उपलब्ध छन्। यसलाई एड्भान्स्ड प्यारोल भनेर चिनिन्छ। यसले अध्यागमन अधिकारीहरूलाई देखाउँछ कि तपाईंलाई विदेश यात्रा गर्न र अमेरिका फर्कन अनुमति दिइएको छ।

You can apply for a travel permit by filing Form I-131. Follow the Federal Register notice instructions when applying for a travel permit.

संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका बाहिर यात्रा गर्नुअघि वकिलसँग कुरा गर्नुहोस्। अध्यागमन नियमहरू परिवर्तन हुन सक्छन् र यात्रा गर्न सुरक्षित छ कि छैन भनेर जान्न महत्त्वपूर्ण हुन्छ।

TPS को म्याद सकिएपछि के हुन्छ?

DHS will review country conditions at least 60 days before it is set to expire. They will decide whether to continue it further. If TPS for Lebanon expires, you will have the same immigration status you had before getting temporary protected status.

यदि तपाईंले TPS को लागि आवेदन गर्नु अघि तपाईंसँग कानुनी अध्यागमन स्थिति थिएन भने, तपाईं कागजातविहीन हुन सक्नुहुन्छ। यदि तपाईं योग्य छौ भने तपाईंले अर्को प्रकारको अध्यागमन स्थितिको लागि आवेदन दिन सक्नुहुन्छ।

तपाईं कुनै पनि कानुनी स्थितिविना नै बस्नुहुन्छ भने तपाईं गिरफ्तारी वा निर्वासनको जोखिममा पर्न सक्नुहुन्छ।

कम मेरो आप्रवासन स्थिति परिवर्तन गर्न सक्छु?

तपाईं अर्को अध्यागमन स्थितिको रूपमा एकै समयमा TPS प्राप्त गर्न सक्नुहुन्छ।

You can apply for asylum, lawful permanent status (Green Card), or other protected status if you meet the requirements for those applications.
