Hello guys, I posted a few inquiries regarding TPS for Nepal a few days ago. Later, I decided to request to immigration lawyers as well. I requested to 3 lawyers ( 2 Nepali origin and one American). So far, I have not received any reply from the two lawyers of Nepali origin. However, Jesicca Yanez, who is working in Greensboro, NC areas, has responded to my queries. Please read her response regarding (a)(12) and (c)(19) confusion on form I-765 # 16 (Eligibility Category). Please make sure about this before you file the application. I would like to request you all to share about this if you know about this. Here is her response. "(c)(19) is for TPS applicants, so use (c)(19). If you are granted TPS, you will use (a)(12) since that is for someone who already has TPS". BHAGAWAAN PASHUPATI NAATHLE SABAIKO KALYAN GARUN !

@najnarin On the avvo website you mentioned above, they have conflicting answers as-well. http://www.bc.edu/content/dam/... how about this filing instructions. It clearly says a 12.

It is being too much complicated day by day. I also got same confusion from two attorneys. One says, (a)(12) and other says (c)(19). Does anybody have friends from other countries like El Salvador, Haiti, Sudan etc, who have already applied for this? That would be a great idea to confirm 100%. PLEASE SHARE.

@basebook: On the above website all of the three lawyers agreed on c(19). The attorney,meenu sharma, who said a(12) at first, changed her answer in the comment section and said Mr. Larson is right that means it is c(19).

@TPS Don't get too confused and here is why http://www.uscis.gov/sites/def... A category (a)(12) EAD is issued to an individual granted TPS under 8 CFR 244. A category (c)(19) EAD is a temporary treatment benefit under TPS pursuant to 8 CFR 244.5. Are you an individual that has been granted TPS ? The answer is no because you are applying for a TPS and it has not been yet granted. So you will put C19 this time. Hope this helps

@ mero_naam_ho, I agree. However, the content in the following link kept me in confusion: http://www.bc.edu/content/dam/... If you see under title, it says, "Initial Resigtration". If you go down(I-765 form), it clearly says, "On Line 16 of the I-765, enter Eligibility Code “A12.” Looks like it was issued by USCIS and this is the main reason of confusion.

Not sure, why it is there like that on bc.edu. It might be there for various reasons 1) typo error. 2) someone forget to update the info 3) it might be an old info And list goes on.... The point here is do what USCIS instructions says. Last edited: 30-Jun-15 02:52 PM

After researching and talking to some legal experts over the phone, i have come to the conclusion that the category should be (c) (19).
