Who We Are

United for TPS Nepal (UTPSN) is a community-led national organization representing Nepali Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders and their families across the United States. Our work focuses on safeguarding TPS protections for Nepali nationals, and advocating for long-term, stable, and just immigration solutions. We have more than 1,300 registered members who reside in 27 states.

Mission

To protect and maintain TPS for Nepali nationals while advocating for permanent relief through community mobilization, policy engagement, and public education.

Key Facts About Membership (all Nepali TPS Holders)

• Have lived in the United States for an average of 16 years.

• Contribute significantly to local economies, small businesses, and essential industries.

• Many are parents of U.S. citizen children and integral members of mixed-status families.
  Nepal remains unsafe for return due to ongoing political instability, economic crisis, and slow disaster recovery.

What UTPSN Does

• Engages with key federal stakeholders on legislative and administrative matters that affect TPS

• Works with national and regional partners to advance protections for TPS holders.

• Organizes community meetings, leadership training, and rapid-response mobilizations.

• Provides verified TPS updates, legal information, and emergency support resources for Nepali TPS holders

Why This Matters

Ending TPS for Nepal would lead to:

• Family separation and deportation risk

• Loss of lawful employment authorization means not only inability on the part of TPS holders to take care of their families, but that translates into a loss of tax revenue to the government too

• Economic and community disruption

• Instability for U.S.-born children and mixed-status families

Maintaining TPS fosters workforce continuity, community stability, and family unity.
