- F1 students can apply for TPS but yet has to maintain 12 credit hours for under grad and 6 hours for grad students.
------ Yes, you can
- 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).
----- This is wrong information. You can work with your TPS EAD. Where does it says, (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 opt ead and tps ead)
----- "Don't apply for OPT EAD",???????????? you are kidding right. Are you really serious?

- TPS status and OPT F1 status goes in parallel ( i.e you are in both status)
--- You can only have one status. After TPS your status will be TPS not F1.

- (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.
---True, but if you are graduating in 2017, 2018, then you can apply for TPS RAD and work.
