I think what the administration does with Haiti this year should be some indicator of Nepal's fate next year. Any thoughts?

Haiti has over 5 times more TPS recipients (~50,000) than Nepal (~8,950) by the way. If the recovery situation does not improve by next year (which I think it won't thanks to Nepalese politicians), Nepal should get a TPS extension. However, if the administration decides to take a hardline approach towards TPS altogether, then people better have alternative options planned ahead in time. Never too early to have a backup plan folks. Anyway, worst case, there should be a 6-month extension to allow for a smooth transition as is the case when TPS is terminated for a country.
