Supreme Court’s decision to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
This ruling is devastating and no need for fancy speech or elegant writing. Get your house in order if you are a TPS recipient.
1. Consult a Licensed Immigration Attorney Immediately
This is the single most important step.
Do not rely on advice from a *notario* or non-lawyer, as immigration scams spike after major news like this. You need a formal evaluation to see if you qualify for any other form of immigration relief.
2. Gather and Organize All Documents
Prepare a comprehensive file of your life in the United States. Having these ready will save crucial time when meeting with a legal representative:
* All past TPS approval notices and Employment Authorization Documents (EADs).
* Your original passport, I-94 arrival/departure record, or any entry documents.
* Tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and rental leases proving your continuous presence and contributions in the U.S.
* Birth certificates of any U.S. citizen children or marriage certificates.
3. Avoid Any Legal Intersections
With the safety net of TPS being removed, any contact with the criminal justice system carries severely heightened immigration risks. Ensure you avoid even minor infractions, follow all traffic laws, and ensure your address is always kept up to date with USCIS via a Form AR-11 if you move.
You are not alone, United we stand!

Desizyon Lakou Siprèm nan pou mete fen nan Estati Pwoteksyon Tanporè (TPS).
Desizyon sa a devastatè epi ou pa bezwen pale bròdè oswa ekriti elegan. Mete lòd nan kay ou si ou se yon moun ki tap resevwa TPS.
1. Konsilte yon Avoka Imigrasyon ki gen Lisans Imedyatman
Sa se etap ki pi enpòtan an.
Pa konte sou konsèy yon *notario* oswa yon moun ki pa avoka, paske frod imigrasyon yo ogmante apre gwo nouvèl tankou sa. Ou bezwen yon evalyasyon fòmèl pou wè si ou kalifye pou nenpòt lòt fòm soulajman imigrasyon.
2. Rasanble epi òganize tout dokiman yo
Prepare yon dosye konplè sou lavi ou Ozetazini. Lè ou gen bagay sa yo pare, sa ap fè ou ekonomize tan enpòtan lè w ap rankontre ak yon reprezantan legal:
* Tout ansyen avi apwobasyon TPS ak Dokiman Otorizasyon Travay (EAD).
* Paspò orijinal ou, dosye arive/depa I-94 ou, oswa nenpòt dokiman antre.
* Deklarasyon taks, fichye peman, deklarasyon labank, ak kontra lokasyon ki pwouve prezans kontinyèl ou ak kontribisyon ou Ozetazini.
* Sètifika nesans nenpòt timoun ki sitwayen ameriken oswa sètifika maryaj.
3. Evite tout entèseksyon legal
Avèk filè sekirite TPS la ki retire a, nenpòt kontak ak sistèm jistis kriminèl la pote risk imigrasyon ki pi wo. Asire w ou evite menm ti vyolasyon yo, swiv tout lwa trafik yo, epi asire w ke adrès ou toujou ajou ak USCIS atravè yon Fòm AR-11 si ou demenaje.
Ou pa poukont ou, Ini nou kanpe!
