WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has officially terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepal, citing improvements in the country's conditions. The decision becomes effective August 5, 2025, 60 days after the final notice is published in the Federal Register.

Over 14,500 Nepali nationals currently protected by Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will lose deportation protection and work authorization after this date. DHS is encouraging individuals to explore alternate legal pathways for remaining in the U.S., including asylum and other immigration relief options.

This move follows a broader effort by the Trump administration to wind down Temporary Protected Status (TPS) programs for several countries. Immigration advocates and community leaders warn this will have a devastating impact on Nepali families who have lived, worked, and paid taxes in the U.S. for nearly a decade.

📌 What You Should Do Now:

• TPS ends August 5, 2025. Mark this date.
• Talk to a lawyer. Start exploring legal options immediately.
• Stay informed. Follow AMN-USA for updates and support.
