Can I Apply for a Green Card if I Have TPS?

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Kathryn N. Karam

If you're asking yourself, can I Apply for a Green Card if I Have TPS? You can apply for a green card if you have Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and you have a separate basis to apply, but TPS by itself doesn’t give someone a pathway to apply for a green card. If you have TPS, your options for getting a green card depend on your situation. Since Donald Trump took office, his administration has announced that it is ending TPS for multiple countries. If you have TPS, you have reason to be worried – we don’t know what we can expect regarding the future of the TPS program. This means that if you have another avenue to apply for a green card – or any other legal status – it’s a good time to take a look at your options and see what you can do.
