What is your current immigration status other than TPS? If you are in F-1, go ahead and apply for a visa at the embassy. If they deny you visa, you can still use your tps ap to re-enter. Nowadays, official at TIA know what Ap looks like so it will be less hassle. Some ignorant will ask you, tapai ko gc khoi? Tapai ko visa khoi? Ask to see a supervisor in that case. I recently travelled with tps ap, and it was a breeze. I was out of status for many years and currently was in removal proceedings before tps. After i got tps, i closed my case with the immigration court and traveled. US POE is super chill, wait in cbp room for 5-10 minutes and get your AP stamped. I wasn't asked where i went n how long. The only question i got asked was, did u see a judge?

Thanks Furke for the quick response. I finished my Masters last January. Instead of applying for OPT, I opted for TPS. I don't think I will be considered F1. -R

I did traveled using AP and I did not have any issue anywhere. I have maintained my status, so I guess I did not have any issue at all. So, in your case you should be fine. Make sure to get all necessary documents and enjoy the trip!!

@furkey, where were you on removal proceedings? Is it because you were out of status or your asylum was proceeded to IMmigration court?
