TPS SUDAN [English]

The United States government is offering Sudanese people who are currently in the U.S. Temporary Protected Status (TPS)

What is TPS?

TPS gives people temporary protection from deportation, legal status, and an Employment Authorization Card (work permit). TPS is temporary; it is usually only designated for an 18 month period. After that period, the U.S. government can extend TPS or choose to end it.

Do I Qualify for Sudan TPS?

You may qualify for Sudan TPS if:

  • You are a citizen of Sudan

  • You have been in the U.S. since March 1, 2022 or earlier

* Certain crimes can make you ineligible for TPS *

 

I want to apply for TPS for the first time:

To apply for TPS, you will need:

  • A Sudan passport, birth certificate, or national ID;

  • A visa, even if expired, passport stamp, NTA, or any other immigration paperwork;

  • Documents showing you have been the U.S. since March 1, 2022 such as medical records, leases, work, or school records;

  • Records for any arrests, charges, and criminal court cases you may have in the U.S. at any time.

I already have TPS and want to renew:

People from Sudan who currently have TPS should newly apply under this designation. To newly apply for TPS you will need:

  • The same documents needed for someone applying for TPS for the first time;

  • A copy of your most recent TPS application;

  • Records for any arrests, charges, and criminal court cases you may have in the U.S. at any time
