Syrian citizens may file for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The eligibility follows Department of Homeland Security's announcement to designate Syria for TPS.
The designation is effective Mar. 29, 2012 until Sep. 30, 2013. Applicants must pass criminal record checks and provide sufficient evidence of legal presence in the United States on or before Mar. 29, 2012.
Applications must be submitted by Sep. 25, 2012. Approved individuals may be eligible to apply for employment authorization.
Complete applications details are available on the USCIS TPS page.
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.

Citizenship and Intergration Services Grant
USCIS announced it will provide five million dollars in grant funding to community organisations that prepare permanent residents for naturalisation and citizenship.

However, 2011 grant recipients are not eligible for the 2012 grant.
Grant application deadline is May 7, 2012. The deadline will not be extended. Award recipients will be announced in September 2012.
