The Mayor's Office of Asylum Seeker Operations (OASO) has shifted its focus back to asylum, emphasizing efforts in that area while still addressing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work eligibility on a rolling basis.

  • OASO is currently prioritizing asylum cases, having ramped up efforts in this area.
  • Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and work eligibility cases are still accepted and processed on a rolling basis as individuals are identified.
  • The shift towards asylum indicates a focused response to the needs of asylum seekers.
