· WOWERI
Fulbright and TPS are two important programs for immigrants. What we know about these programs and how they can affect your life.
Introduction
Fulbright and TPS are two important programs for immigrants. Fulbright is an exchange program that allows foreign students and scholars to come to the US for study and research. TPS (Temporarily Protected Status) is a program that provides temporary protection from deportation for citizens of certain countries.
Fulbright
Fulbright has a two-year foreign residence requirement for its students. This means that after completing the program, students must return to their home country and live there for at least two years before they can return to the US.
TPS
TPS was terminated for Cameroon, which means that around 19,600 people will lose their protection from deportation. However, legal status and lawful presence are not the same. People who lose TPS may still be eligible for other forms of protection from deportation.
Conclusion
Fulbright and TPS are two important programs that can affect the lives of immigrants. If you are a Fulbright student or have TPS, it is essential to understand how these programs can affect your life and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
