I didn't apply for TPS last year. USCIS last year extended the OPT EAD for up to 36 months in total for STEM program. I didn't apply for TPS last year because my OPT EAD was valid until 2017. There are "Filing Late" provisions for Nepal TPS stated in the USCIS site. Below are the criteria that make me eligible for late filing. I am looking for more information.
1) At least one initial filing criteria- Can anyone provide or confirm that I qualify for the below criteria of a nonimmigrant visa? This is the closest that I can relate to my case.
-You were a nonimmigrant, were granted voluntary departure status, or any relief from removal
2) Continuos residence since June 24, 2015- I meet this criteria.
My employer has already started my GC process as well. If I am eligible for late filing criteria, can I only file for TPS now and then when my OPT EAD expires next year, then file for TPS EAD next year ? Any information and advice is highly appreciated. Thank You.
