I'm not a lawyer, So please be advised.
But per my understanding,
a) TPS is a blanket status, that means it won't affect any other status whether it's H-1B, H-4, F-1, F-2, B-1/B-2

b) TPS will avoid you from going out of status, and gives you legality even if you got fired on H-1, and couldn't find another job, or you choose to not to go to college on F-1.

c) you can have TPS EAD even if are in H-1, it won't void your H-1, your H-1 status will void if you choose to use that EAD to work for other employer

d) On TPS you can do adjustment of status but not change of status (you can find employer who can file you perm which could lead you to I-140, I-485, GC or you can marry to US citizen which can lead to GC, but you can't change to other non-immigrant status like F-1/F2, H-1/H4.

e)To return back to your original status after TPS Ends,(say if you're now in H-1, or F-1) you have to maintain that throughout your TPS, otherwise you can't change back.

f) I'm not sure about going to nepal on TPS and H-1B, When you use AP to enter usa your H-1B might get void.(anybody knows answer to this can put some insight)

again, this is solely my point of view, and I'm not attorney.


have a good day Guys,

aayo gorkhali !!!
