In response to the recent earthquake in Nepal, a bill has been introduced in the United States aiming to provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Nepalese nationals currently residing in the U.S.
Following the significant earthquake that struck Nepal, the American Immigration Council has reported the introduction of new legislation in the United States intended to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to Nepalese nationals. This measure would offer humanitarian relief by allowing eligible Nepalese immigrants affected by the disaster to remain legally in the U.S. for a designated period without fear of deportation.
TPS is a form of temporary immigration relief granted to nationals of countries undergoing ongoing armed conflict, environmental disasters, or other extraordinary conditions. While official U.S. government announcements regarding the bill’s progress are awaited, the introduction signals support for Nepalese overseas workers and immigrants who may be impacted by the natural disaster ongoing crisis in Nepal.
At this time, there is no official statement from Nepalese governmental sources or embassies in Greece concerning any related protective measures, but the development will likely interest Nepali communities abroad, including those in Greece. Further updates will be monitored and reported as more information becomes available.
