Eligibility for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is initially determined through screening questions at shelters.

  • Eligibility is assessed for individuals self-reporting as Venezuelan and present before a specified time.
  • A series of screening questions are used to evaluate if individuals meet the criteria for TPS.
  • Those identified as potentially eligible are assisted in scheduling appointments at satellite clinics or the asylum application help center.
