TPS and current status (F1, F2, H1, H4 and others) has no relation. TPS is just a temporary protection for Nepali who need to leave this country due to expiry of their legal current stay providing them opportunity to work during their stay for 18 months unless USCIS extends it in future.
Lets talk about F1 and TPS
Having TPS does not guarantee that it saves your F1 or F2 status, students need to comply all requirements to maintain their student status if they wish to remain F1 after TPS period expires. If you fail to maintain your F1/F2 you will loose your status but having TPS let you stay here until TPS status expires.
Then how it is beneficial for F1 to have TPS?
Being F1 sucks when it comes to find job, most of the time for internship or out of college jobs. TPS provide opportunity to have EAD that let you work any where any time without letting them know you are F1. Trust me it helps if you want to make some $$ during summer or winter or even from weekends jobs. Having tps does not mean you do not have to go to school to keep your status. Consulting DSO would be wise if we will fail to fulfill minimum requirements to keep our F1 status.
What would I do If I were a F1?
My concern would be finish my school first no matter of what. Since TPS provides me EAD I would have it and save it in case I find a job during summer or evening jobs at same time would go to school as if TPS is not in picture.
Having EAD does not mean we have to work. Could use it any time before it expires.
Again, TPS is added benefit for Nepali who already are here. Benefit form TPS would be a lot or nothing at all depending on individual status, interest and motive
Note: it is not legal advice
