Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for El Salvador

TPS based work authorization and TPS based protection from removal end on the termination date. Any separate application already pending is unaffected, as is any independent basis for relief. The time already accrued in the country still counts toward several forms of relief.

Yes, if it is based on TPS. USCIS extended certain expired documents by notice through the termination date, but after that date TPS based work authorization ends unless a court orders otherwise. Separate work authorization from another source is a different question.

Not on the basis of TPS. An employer who reverifies will find the document is no longer valid. If you hold work authorization from another source, bring it to the employer before the date rather than after.

Generally yes, once the protected period ends and nothing else covers you. That matters because unlawful presence drives the three and ten year bars, which are what make later options expensive or impossible.

A citizen child aged 21 or older can file the petition, and a parent is an immediate relative with no waiting line. The obstacle is usually how you entered, not the petition. An entry without inspection generally blocks adjusting status inside the country.

If you do not already hold the document, almost certainly. These applications are not reliably adjudicated in weeks, and the trip has to be completed while TPS is still live. If you already have it in hand, do not depart before a lawyer reviews your specific situation.

It has happened before with this designation. Watch for official USCIS notices rather than social media, keep your address current, and confirm where the designation stands on the day you act rather than the day you read about it.
