Today we had a seminar in our school for TPS so i want to share few things with you all.

- F1 students can apply for TPS but yet has to maintain 12 credit hours for under grad and 6 hours for grad students.
- F1 students can apply for TPS and EAD but can not use the EAD since it will be violation of F1 Status. (some other countries were given facility in tps where F1 students could work but Nepal has not been granted facility to work for F1 using TPS EAD card).
-Those people who are about to graduate or are in opt can apply for TPS only .( dont apply both opt ead and tps ead. Best is just to apply OPT EAD)
- TPS status and OPT F1 status goes in parallel ( i.e you are in both status)
- (Why tps only, why not apply TPS EAD)
Apply tps only so that in case you did not find job after 90 days of applying for opt or get fired and did not get job for months then your status will be protected by TPS. you might loose F1 status but yet you will have a legal status which is TPS. You can go back to F1 again staying in TPS status which means you wont be illegal.


These are the things i came to know in todays seminar... i am not a lawyer or anything just passing some information.
