This means that eligible Salvadorans will not be deported and can apply for permission to work in the United States during the designated period. The TPS application period begins upon publication in the Federal Register, which is expected early this week, and continues for 18 months from that date. After the 18 months are completed, INS may extend TPS or end it. TPS can not be transferred to a permanent immigration status in the future unless one is eligible under another permanent immigration provision. The following is copied from the INS Web Page: All Salvadorans eligible for TPS must submit both an Application for Temporary Protected Status, Form I-821, and an Application for Employment Authorization, Form I-765, and supporting evidence to demonstrate both Salvadoran nationality and also continuous residence in the United States as of February 13, 2001. These forms are available from the toll-free INS Forms line, 1-800-870-3676, and from the INS Web site, www.ins.usdoj.gov. Form I-821 must include a $50 filing fee, along with a $25 fingerprinting fee. Applicants for employment authorization should submit a Form I-765 with the $100 filing fee. Applicants who already have or do not wish to receive employment authorization still must submit a completed Form I-765, but without the accompanying fee. An applicant may be eligible to receive a waiver of TPS-related application filing fees. -- Aliza Becker Phone: (773) 267-0746 Fax (773) 478-5091 E-mail alzbec@interaccess.com
