USCIS announced today that Liberians, Guineans and Sierra Leoneans will now qualify for TPS status based on the tragic ebola epidemic in those countries. You can read the announcement here on the USCIS website.

You must show that you have been here in the United States as of November 20, 2014.  The 180-day TPS registration period begins Nov. 21, 2014 and runs through May 20, 2015.

There are many requirements, so make sure that you speak to an immigration attorney about your particular case before you apply because there is always a risk of deportation from the United States when applying for anything from USCIS.  Our firm handles TPS cases and would be happy to hear from you.
