USCIS encourages eligible nationals of Nepal and those without nationality who last habitually resided in Nepal to apply soon for Temporary Protected Status for Nepal. The deadline for registration is December 21, 2015.
USCIS has accepted applications for TPS for Nepalis since June 24, 2015, when Nepal was designated for TPS by Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. This designation was made because of a devastating magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Nepal in April 2015.
Eligible nationals of Nepal (and people without nationality who last habitually resided in Nepal) will not be removed from the United States and may receive an employment authorization document (EAD) through December 24, 2016.
