Understanding the Travel Ban and TPS Changes
Our U.S. immigration lawyers are actively assisting clients affected by recent travel restrictions and Temporary Protected Status (TPS) terminations. If you are a national of Burma (Myanmar), Venezuela, Haiti, or other designated countries, understanding these policy changes is critical to maintaining your legal status in the United States.
What Is at Stake: The Unlawful Presence Penalty
If your immigration status depends on TPS, a pending asylum case, OPT, or another temporary visa, failing to maintain lawful status can trigger severe penalties:
- 3-year bar: For 180+ days of unlawful presence
- 10-year bar: For 365+ days of unlawful presence
These bars are codified under INA § 212(a)(9)(B) and prevent you from reentering the United States for the specified period.
