What is TPS

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a form of immigration status for people already 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.

If you have TPS, you can:

  • Stay in the U.S. legally for a period of time
  • Apply for a work permit in the U.S.
  • Apply to travel outside of the U.S.
  • Be protected from detention and deportation

TPS is temporary. It does not give you lawful permanent status, citizenship, or any permanent immigration status.

If you already have TPS for El Salvador under a previous designation, you must have re-registered by March 18, 2025 to continue your benefits through September 9, 2026.

Work permit

Work permits are available to people with TPS and are known as an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). It shows employers that you are allowed to work in the USA.

If you applied to renew your work permit based on TPS for El Salvador and have not yet received a new work permit, your current work permit may be auto-extended until August 31, 2026.

Important

What happens when TPS expires?

If you do not have another legal immigration status besides TPS, you will become undocumented and lose your work authorization. If you stay without legal status, you will risk being detained and deported.
