The New York Times reported that the Department of Homeland Security has designated Syrian nationals living in the United States as eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) due to the extreme threats and ongoing violence in Syria since January 2011. DHS estimates that 2,500-3,000 Syrians living in the United States would be allowed to apply for TPS. A person who is granted TPS will be protected for the duration of 18 months before applying for a renewal. DHS will require each applicant to pass criminal and national security background checks.
