I'm not a TPS holder to feel the pain. But as a regular person who can do basic math, I can tell where this legal fight is going. I’ve spoken with top lawyers in DC, and the likely outcome is getting clearer. Like I said before, if the government does not agree to the terms of relief, things may not end well for TPS holders.

As expected, the government filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court on August 1, 2025 (officially submitted on AUG 4, 2025). The court is likely to give a decision around August 18 (the last preliminary injunction answering the brief due SEPT 29, 2025), probably in favor of TPS holders based on past cases. Then the case will go straight to the US Supreme Court. If it follows the usual timeline, we could see a decision from the Supreme Court by mid-September.

In the meantime, all Nepalese TPS holders are authorized to stay in the United States, but being authorized to work will be tricky.

Good Luck!!!
