PLEASE NOTE: On August 20, 2020 USCIS issued a new Policy Memorandum implementing Matter of Z-R-Z-C-, which found that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients returning to the United States with advance parole after August 20, 2020, would no longer be able to be considered inspected and admitted or paroled for purposes of adjustment of status under INA § 245(a) ADOPTED DECISION MATTER OF Z-R-Z-C ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS OFFICE U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY August 20, 2020 (1) A Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipient who is granted authorization to temporarily travel abroad and subsequently reenters the United States using a Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-issued travel document resumes the same immigration status the alien had at the time of departure unless the alien is inadmissible under certain criminal or national security grounds or obtains an immigrant or nonimmigrant visa and presents it for admission to the United States. (2) A TPS recipient’s immigration status does not change upon reentry, even if the DHS-issued, TPS-based travel document or the DHS-issued arrival document refers to parole. (3) TPS-authorized travel will not satisfy the requirements of “inspected and admitted or paroled” into the United States for purposes of adjustment of status under section 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.  Which TPS recipients are affected by Matter of Z-R-Z-C-?  Matter of Z-R-Z-C impacts only TPS recipients who initially entered the United States without inspection. Any TPS recipient who was admitted into the United States, including those who can demonstrate that they were admitted under Matter of Quilantan, 25 I. & N. Dec. 285 (BIA 2010), do not need to rely on a TPS-related advance parole entry to satisfy INA § 245, as their admission satisfies this section. Anyone filing an adjustment application within the jurisdiction of the Sixth, Eighth, or Ninth Circuits also would not need to rely on the parole entry, as the grant of TPS is considered an admission in those circuits.24 Similarly, any TPS recipient who was paroled into the United States on any basis other than INA § 244(f)(3), the TPS travel provision, would independently satisfy § 245(a).  Last edited: 05-Jul-21 11:31 AM Last edited: 05-Jul-21 11:33 AM

This doesn’t even make sense to me. Otherwise why is uscis issuing advance parole to same undocumented people or illegal ppl if they can’t adjust status . What does that mean ?? Lot of South American undocumented have travelled back to their home country with the help of this advance parole. Why aren’t they letting to adjust status here .

Most Nepalese arent affected for above decree as they are admitted initially from legal means. Anyone who crossed the border and at the time of getting tps doesnt get to adjust their status. They never had any status to begin with to nothing to adjust. This is the same case even if you get married to a US person.
