TPS for F2 dependents.

@Nepali8: I suggested the same thing. Let us analyse what USCIS website says:

When the Secretary terminates a country's TPS designation
through a separate Federal Register notice, beneficiaries return to the
same immigration status they maintained before TPS,
[WHICH MEANS IF YOU ARE F2 , YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE A F2 OR F1 WHATEVER YOUR STATUS WAS BEFORE]

if any (unless that status has since expired or been terminated), or to any other lawfully
obtained immigration status they received while registered for TPS.
[ WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR STATUS TO (SAY)F1 FROM F2 BEFORE YOUR TPS EXPIRES, YOU WILL NOW BE F1]

I think its fairly straight forward. Someone said it before that TPS is not a status related thing. It is only to assure that you can stay until TPS expires.
