Seems like people are confused a lot....
Just because US DHS approved TPS for Nepal doesnot make all Nepalese on TPS by itself. Any nepalese wanting to be in TPS should apply for it and get granted by USCIS. You can also apply for EAD while applying for TPS to work legally in US.
Once you are granted a TPS, you are no longer F1, h1, illegal or whatever status you were in before you got TPS. You are now on TPS.
If you want to travel outside US while on TPS, you should apply for travel authorization. Only after you get travel authorization approval, you can travel and come back as TPS. Your return to US is at the discretion of immigrantion officer at port of entry.
People staying illegally should consult with lawyers before travelling outside even on TPS.
During TPS, one can apply for F1, H1 or any other status.
