TPS applicants from five designated countries can now file initial applications online

  USCIS announced that TPS applicants who are eligible nationals of Burma, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela or Yemen can now file Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected Status, online, if they are applying for TPS for the first time.

The court thus found that the plaintiff-appellee, a TPS beneficiary, was eligible to obtain lawful permanent residence
