1. What is TPS to Immigrant Path?

The TPS (Temporary Protected Status) to Immigrant Path calculator helps determine potential pathways for TPS holders to adjust to lawful permanent resident status. It evaluates eligibility based on TPS status, qualifying relationships, admissibility, and entry method.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator evaluates four key factors:

\[ \text{Eligibility} = \text{TPS Status} \times \text{Qualifying Relationship} \times \text{Admissibility} \times \text{Entry Method} \]

Where:

TPS Status — Current validity of TPS designation
Qualifying Relationship — Family or employment basis for immigration
Admissibility — Whether applicant is admissible or requires waiver
Entry Method — How applicant originally entered the U.S.

3. Importance of Immigration Path Calculation

Details: Understanding potential adjustment paths helps TPS holders plan their immigration strategy and determine if they need additional steps like waivers or petitions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Select your current TPS status, any qualifying relationship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, your admissibility status, and how you originally entered the U.S.

Q3: What if my TPS expired?
A: You may still adjust if you maintain continuous residence and meet other requirements.

Q4: Do I need a lawyer to adjust status?
A: While not required, immigration law is complex and professional help is recommended.

Q5: How long does adjustment take?
A: Processing times vary from 8 months to several years depending on category and USCIS workload.
