This bill would grant temporary protected status (TPS) to nationals of Burma, allowing them to legally remain and work in the United States for 18 months starting November 25, 2025. Burmese nationals who have been continuously present in the U.S. since the bill's enactment and meet standard immigration eligibility requirements can register for this status with the Department of Homeland Security. The designation recognizes the challenging conditions in Burma and provides affected individuals protection from deportation during this period. The bill also allows TPS recipients to travel abroad with prior authorization from DHS if they face emergency or extenuating circumstances. This legislation is supported by members of both parties and applies specifically to Burmese nationals already in the country, not new arrivals.
