In the wake of the devastating earthquakes to hit Nepal over
the past 2 weeks, USCIS has instituted immigration relief measures for affected
citizens of Nepal. Included in these
measures are expedited processing for several immigration benefits as well as
consideration of fee waivers for some applications. Senator Ben Cardin, Ranking Member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee has also requested that the Administration
provide Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepalese nationals present in the
U.S. and cannot return home due to the dire situation in their country.
