TPS Holders Cannot Adjust Status After Travel Abroad Under DHS Authorized Travel Document.
On August 30, 2020, USCIS implemented a policy change for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders. Under this policy, TPS holders who travel with an authorized DHS travel document retain their TPS upon re-entering the U.S., but this cannot be used to qualify for adjustment to permanent residency. TPS holders should understand these rules before traveling.
