| | Temporary Protected Status |
 | | Below, please find a basic introduction to the TPS program, links to the statute, regulations, and pertinent application forms, as well as information specific to each country (or part thereof) that is or was designated under the TPS program. |
 | | On March 1, 2003, pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107-296, the authority to designate a country (or part thereof) for TPS, and to extend and terminate TPS designations, was transferred from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Homeland Security. |
 | | When the Secretary terminates a TPS designation, beneficiaries revert to the same immigration status they maintained before TPS (unless that status had since expired or been terminated) or to any other status they may have acquired while registered for TPS. |
