Law Offices of Nicklaus Misiti Handling Guinean Temporary Protect Status Cases

New York, NY, November 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Upon a finding that Guinea is experiencing extraordinary and temporary conditions that prevent its nationals from safely returning US Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) has afforded eligible Guinean citizens Temporary Protected Status (“TPS”).

Applicants eligible for TPS are afforded the right to live and work in the US legally for a temporary period of time. The designation is in response to the recent Ebola outbreak and DHS has announced they will revisit the designation in 18 months. Citizens of Guinea granted TPS will not be allowed to legally travel back to their country to prevent any risk of returning with Ebola but they will be allowed to remain legally in the US.

To be eligible it must be shown:
· You are a national of a country designated for TPS. (You may also be eligible if you are a person who has no nationality but last habitually resided in a designated country.) Please see our list of countries designated for temporary protected status.
· You apply for TPS during the specified registration period. The registration period is stated in Federal Register notices of designation and is also generally noted in USCIS press releases. The designation date for Guinea is November 21, 2014.
· You have been continuously physically present in the United States since the TPS designation began, or since the effective date of the most recent re-designation.
· You have continuously resided in the United States since the date specified in the Federal Register notice of designation. This date may be different than the effective date of the TPS designation.
· You are admissible as an immigrant and are not otherwise ineligible for TPS. Applicable grounds of inadmissibility and bases for ineligibility are specified in CFR 244.3 and 244.4, respectively.

Applications for TPS require submitting the proper evidence and a properly filled form I-821. A separate application for work authorization must also be filed. USCIS highly scrutinized these applications and it is highly recommended you work with a competent immigration firm.

If granted TPS, the applicant must re-register for each period the TPS benefits are extended.
