About & Sources

About this project

TPS Survival Guide is a free, independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan public-information project that serves all Temporary Protected Status holders and their families — including Venezuela, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Ukraine — with Haiti and Syria as our current emergency focus after the June 25, 2026 Supreme Court ruling. We help people understand today's status and find trusted help. We do not collect personal data, sell leads, run ads, or charge anyone. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal representation.

Editorial review. This guide is compiled and fact-checked against primary government sources (cited throughout). We are arranging review by a licensed immigration attorney and will publish the reviewer's name, credentials, and bar/accreditation number here once that review is complete — we never publish a reviewer we cannot verify.

Contact & corrections: [email protected]. If you need help with your own case, use the verified hotlines on the Find Help tab.

Legal disclaimer. This website provides general information only and is not legal advice. Reading it does not create an attorney–client relationship. Immigration law is complex and changes quickly; the information here may not apply to your situation and may become outdated. Before acting, consult a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative. Always verify dates and status on official government sources.

Privacy policy

We collect no personal data from you. Reading this entire site requires no account and no personal information; there is no advertising and no lead-selling. Any analytics we use are cookieless and privacy-first (aggregate page counts only) and do not identify you. We never share information with immigration authorities. Comment sections, where present, are provided by GraphComment (EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant). Commenting is optional, moderated, and governed by GraphComment’s own privacy policy — the rest of the site works fully without it.

Community Board. If you use our optional community board, you post with just a screen name and a 6-digit PIN. We do not ask for — and cannot see — your email, phone, name, or immigration status. We never store your IP address; we keep only a scrambled, one-way fingerprint, briefly, to stop spam and abuse, and delete it after 30 days. If you forget your PIN we cannot recover your account, because we hold nothing that could identify you. Anything you type in a board post is public — never post your A-number, address, or case details. Our system automatically hides numbers that look like A-numbers or phone numbers, but you are safest not typing them at all.

Editorial & corrections policy

Every factual claim is checked against a primary or authoritative source and cited on the page. We clearly separate confirmed facts from rumors and label anything unverified or still developing. We do not publish a date, phone number, or statistic we cannot confirm. When facts change or we get something wrong, we correct it and date the change. Report an error to [email protected].

How we verify

Every factual claim on this site is checked against a primary or authoritative source and cited. We distinguish confirmed facts from rumors and clearly mark anything unverified or still developing. We do not publish a deadline, phone number, or statistic we could not confirm.
