"I lived in Nepal from Jan 2017 to Dec 2020. I was in US prior to 2017 in F1 visa and had an approved initial TPS application. Can I apply for late TPS re-registration too?"

Individuals must demonstrate that they have been continuously physically present in the United States since the TPS began, which is June 24, 2015 for Nepal.

So What is your Date of last entry into the United States?

They ask this question in Form I-821, Part2, line 19, and once you write year 2020, 2021. It will trigger a flag.

You said you were in Nepal for period of Jan 2017 to Dec 2020.

And what happens is

the applicant’s entire case should be reviewed to see if there is sufficient evidence to meet date of entry, residence, and physical presence requirements.

 Failure to obtain advance parole before the alien's departure from the United States may result in the withdrawal of TPS or the institution or re-calendaring of deportation or exclusion proceedings. See 8 CFR 244.15(b).
