TPS holders cannot adjust status after travel abroad under DHS authorized travel document.

On August 30, 2020, USCIS adopted as practice a AAO decision finding that TPS holders who travel outside of the US on an authorized DHS travel document retain the same status, TPS, upon re-entry.  This means that they cannot use the re-entry as grounds for establishing a right to adjust to permanent residence upon re-entering.
