"You are a foreign national here in the United States whose country has recently experienced a disaster and you've heard about this doctrine of temporary protected status, TPS or whatever it is, and you want to know how you might avail yourself of this doctrine. Hello, I'm Robert Todd and I'm here to answer the question, what is temporary protected status, abbreviated, TPS. Well first of all it involves eligible foreign nationals from designated countries, gaining a temporary immigration status here to the United States. This is based on the fact that their country has experienced something of the nature of an ongoing war, an earthquake, a flood, a drought that basically makes it very difficult for people to return to their homeland. It's important to understand that this is a temporary status. It does not lead to permanent resident status and never will. It's more of the nature of six to eighteen months temporary status. If you have a question about it you can go to the website www.uscis.gov. I'm Robert Todd, and thank you for watching."
