TPS Immigration Lawyer to Help With Immigration From Designated Countries

Do unsafe conditions prevail in your native country and you’re looking to stay in America? Has your country been designated for TPS and do you wish to have an experienced attorney looking out for you? Here at the Rijal Law Firm, we have helped many to stay in America legally whose home countries have been beset by strife. A TPS immigration lawyer can help you through every step of the process, from the application to re-registration, and much more. Recently, the USCIS has extended TPS designation for multiple countries. As ever, the Rijal Law Firm is on the side of immigrants, helping people to live where they wish to live.

South Sudan
On September 5th, 2023, a press release from the USCIS announced that Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced the extension and redesignation of South Sedan for Temporary Protected Status for 18 months, from November 4, 2023, through May 3, 2025.” This is “due to ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in South Sudan that prevent individuals from safely returning.” So, if you or a loved one are an immigrant from South Sudan, we may be able to guide you through the TPS process so that you can legally stay in America.

How a TPS Immigration Lawyer Can Help
You’re eligible for TPS if you’re either a native citizen of a TPS-designated country (such as South Sudan) or you were habitually living in a designated country without having a nationality and you’ve been physically present and continuously residing in the US since your country was assigned a designation date. Additionally, you have to file during the open initial registration or re-registration period. We can help you to not just file all of the proper paperwork on time but to also make the best, most compelling case on your behalf.

Special Student Relief Notice
In addition to extending and redesignating South Sudan for TPS, the Secretary of Homeland Security also issued a “Special Student Relief notice for F-1 nonimmigrant students whose country of citizenship is South Sudan so the students may request employment authorization, work an increased number of hours while school is in session, and reduce their course load while continuing to maintain F-1 status through the TPS designation period.” In addition to providing services with TPS, we also have helped so many navigate the F1 student visa process as well.

Many Paths to America
We are always glad to help those whose native countries are struggling. That said, you do not need to be from a TPS-designated country to be able to immigrate to the United States. Indeed, we have helped so many from all over the world to live the lives they want to live here in America. If you wish to immigrate to America, we encourage you to reach out to us for a free case evaluation. There, we can sit down with you and see exactly how we can best serve you.

Right Response at the Right Time: USCIS RFE Response Lawyer

Did you recently receive an RFE and aren’t sure what to do? Do you want to make sure that your response gives you the best possible opportunity for a successful outcome? Receiving an RFE can be frustrating or even scary. During this time, your application/petition will be halted which can feel like a rejection. You still have a chance, provided that you respond properly. That’s exactly what a USCIS RFE response lawyer from the Rijal Law Firm can help with.

What an RFE Is and What It Isn’t
An RFE (“Request for Evidence”) isn’t a rejection. It’s not the USCIS saying “no,” rather, it’s the USCIS saying “we need more evidence.” Specifically, we’ve found that the USCIS tends to send these when a would-be immigrant’s petition lacks supporting evidence. The good news is that, more often than not, this evidence is of the documentary kind. It could be something as simple as a copy of a document, such as a birth certificate, degree, passport, etc. There are some, however, that require a more complex response. We can help with any RFE that you or a loved one may receive.

What a USCIS RFE Response Lawyer Can Do
While an RFE isn’t, in and of itself, a rejection, it is a way of the USCIS saying: “if you don’t send us more evidence, you’re likely to be rejected.” In the event that you don’t respond to the RFE promptly or in a satisfactory manner, then, yes, unfortunately, your petition is likely to be rejected. That’s where we can help. We can help you to address exactly what the RFE is saying, so that you give the USCIS precisely what they’re asking for, thus giving the best possibility of a successful outcome.

Approval After NOID
In addition to helping clients with RFEs, we also help clients who receive a NOID (“Notice of Intent to Deny.”) More serious than an RFE, a NOID is often sent when there is an eligibility issue relating to a visa, if there is some proof of immigration status being violated, and so forth. Just as with an RFE, however, a NOID makes it possible for you to make a case for yourself. This is just one more reason why it’s so important to have an experienced attorney on your side. We can make sure that your response makes the strongest arguments on your behalf, supported by the most complete evidence and documentation.

Able to Work on Tight Deadlines
87 days. That’s how long you have to respond to an issued RFE. That’s not quite three months. If that seems like a long period of time, we can assure you that it is not. In that time, we can help you to produce the requested evidence and documents that will address every single request point by point. Additionally, we can prepare a well-written cover letter, make any important clarifications, and so much more. To see how we can help, schedule a free case evaluation through our site or by calling.

How We Help With Extended TPS Renewal Deadlines

Did you come to America from a TPS-designated country and wish to re-register? Are you from a country that’s been TPS designated and want to know what your options are? Recently, the Department of Homeland Security has extended the re-registration period for multiple TPS (Temporary Protected Status) companies. If you’re a TPS beneficiary, experienced lawyers from the Rijal Law Firm may be able to help you with TPS Renewal, re-registration, and more.

New Deadlines
Recently, the DHS extended the re-registration period for six TPS-designated countries. Those countries are Haiti, El Salvador, Sudan, Nepal, Honduras, and Nicaragua. By taking this action, the re-registration period has been extended from just 60 days to 18 months.

The deadline to re-register for Haiti is on August 3rd, 2024. The other deadlines are all in 2025. For El Salvador, that date is March 9th, for Sudan, it’s April 29th, for Nepal, that date is June 24th, for Honduras and Nicaragua, it’s July 5th.

That may sound like it’s very far off, but it isn’t really. The sooner you reach out to an experienced attorney, the better off you’re more likely to be.

Who Can Re-Register
As a result of this action, TPS beneficiaries can submit the appropriate documentation at any time during the 18-month extensions of the TPS designations of these six countries. Specifically, TPS beneficiaries can submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization as well as Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status.

Additionally, this sets new deadlines for TPS beneficiaries to re-register. For example, beneficiaries under the Sudan designation can continue re-registering after their previous October 20th, 2023 deadline, just as those under the Haiti designation can do so after their March 27th, 2023 deadline and beneficiaries under the El Salvador designation could after their September 10th, 2023 deadline.

Ways a TPS Immigration Lawyer Can Help

Are you considering applying for TPS? Have you been thinking about reaching out to a TPS Immigration Lawyer but aren’t sure of exactly how they could help you? If your country has been TPS-designated, keeping you and yours safe by staying in America through applying for TPS makes sense. As there’s so much riding on this, it also makes sense to reach out to attorneys who can help. At the Rijal Law Firm, we have aided those applying for TPS over the years in many ways.

Help You Determine If You’re Eligible
You probably know that to apply for TPS you must be a native of a country that’s been a TPS-designated country. But, you can also be eligible if you don’t have a nationality but have been habitually living in a country that’s TPS designated. Additionally, you can be ineligible for TPS if you don’t meet the stringent physical presence and continuous residence in the United States criteria.

Drawing upon our years of experience, we can let you know definitively whether or not you’re eligible as well as how we can help you moving forward.

Help You File Properly and On Time
Most know that, to apply for TPS designation, you have to fill out Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, and, if you are requesting Employment Authorization, Form I-765 as well.

What you may not know is that, depending on your particular circumstances, the final list of documents that you have to provide may be different. They could ask for something else entirely. Here, too, we can help. We have seen this happen many times in the past and have ushered our clients through the process successfully. With that experience, we can work with you towards the same outcome.

Advise You if You Have to File Late
Obviously, filing late for TPS is not ideal. However, for some, it may be possible to apply late and still qualify. As you might imagine, though, this can be very complicated indeed. There are many additional conditions you have to meet to be eligible.

For example, perhaps you had a pending application for a different immigration benefit (such as adjustment of status, voluntary departure, change of status, or any other available relief from removal proceeding), and that was either subject to further review or still pending.

Many who thought they were no longer eligible because they had missed the deadline reached out to an attorney and found that they were eligible to file late.
