Dear Friends,
The massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake that shook our motherland Nepal has resulted in the mass death and destruction. Section 244(b)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of the USA allows for a Temporary Protected Status (TPS )designation if an environmental disaster, including specifically an earthquake, has caused a substantial temporary disruption of living conditions in the area affected such that the country cannot adequately handle the return of its nationals. The government of Nepal has already officially requested for a TPS designation to the government of the USA. Department of Homeland Security and State Departments are working on it, but have not taken any decision yet.
TPS is a temporary form of humanitarian aid that will allow Nepalese here in the United States to efficiently support our home country during rebuilding. TPS would ensure that we Nepalese in the U.S. would be protected from deportation and granted work authorization to continue working.
Let us respectfully request the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to grant TPS. Each of us has to call the office of the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Rocky Mountain Friends of Nepal (RMFN) would like to ask each of you use this script to make a call. The name and state you are residing should be changed. The script reads:
=====
"I am Birendra Adhikari from Colorado. I am calling you to grant temporary protected status to all the Nepalese citizens currently living in the United States. The recent 7.8 Richter scale earthquake in Nepal has affected over eight million people, including, over eight thousand deaths and half million homes. The quake has caused thousands of homes unsafe to return. The situation is going to get worse as the monsoon is quickly approaching. At the same time, thousands of Nepalese living in the United States are not being able to go back home and be with our loved ones in these difficult times. Therefore, I am requesting for your consideration to grant temporary protected status to Nepalese citizens on a purely humanitarian basis.
Thank you."
=====
Let us make a call to the following phone number and read the script above. If nobody responds, then leave a voice message with the script.
PHONE NUMBER OF DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
(202)-282-8495
Let us start calling from today share this with our friends, family members and community members!
Thank you,
