Temporary Protected Status For Angolans To End

The Department of Justice has announced that nationals of Angola will be terminated from the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. TPS status will end for Angolans on March 29, 2003. 316 people are expected to be affected.

The Justice Department found that the situation in Angola had changed. The armed conflict that originally served as the basis for the TPS designation no longer exists and Angolans can safely return to their country.

Upon termination of TPS status, individuals will revert back to the status they had just prior to getting TPS status unless that status has expired or they will revert to any other status they may have gained while registered for TPS. If the individual had no status prior to being granted TPS, they are subject to removal.

Work authorization for Angolans with TPS expires on March 29, 2003 and will not be renewed. And anyone remaining beyond that date who is not in status will begin accumulating unlawful presence.

The Justice Department memorandum announcing the end of TPS designation notes that Angolans fearing a return to their country can still apply for asylum, withholding of removal or protection under the Torture Convention.
