Hey guys, I didn't apply for TPS when it was issued the first time. But thinking about applying this time. I went to Nepal in July of 2016, so wondering if I still qualify...per TPS website, some of requirements are:

- Have been continuously physically present (CPP) in the United States since the effective date of the most recent designation date of your country; and

- Have been continuously residing (CR) in the United States since the date specified for your country. (See your country’s TPS Web page to the left). The law allows an exception to the continuous physical presence and continuous residence requirements for brief, casual and innocent departures from the United States. When you apply or re-register for TPS, you must inform USCIS of all absences from the United States since the CPP and CR dates. USCIS will determine whether the exception applies in your case.

Based on this, I don't think I meet the requirements. But I was wondering if anyone else has gone through a similar case as me? Or is there anyway I can apply and still get TPS?

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
