From what I see this is an additional benefit issued by DHS on Novemeber 9th, 2015 in addition to the TPS for Nepal which was issued while back. Correct me if I am wrong, but my DSO is saying that I needed to be approved for TPS to get these benefit. From what I know, TPS is a status while this below here is just a relief to the F1 students, isn't it?
