Training for Upcoming Temporary Protected Status Legal Clinics for West Africans Due to Ebola Outbreak

January 12, 2015 Training on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Certain Nationals of West Africa

Due to the ebola virus outbreak in West Africa, nationals of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia who reside in the United States and meet certain criteria may now apply for Temporary Protected Status.

The registration period for TPS applications has already begun. Starting in January, the City Bar Justice Center will host several TPS application assistance clinics for West African foreign nationals. Assisting with TPS applications is a straightforward opportunity for attorneys who are looking to volunteer a few hours of their time.

Attorneys interested in volunteering at our TPS clinics but unfamiliar with the TPS process can sign up for an hour-long TPS training the Justice Center will be conducting in partnership with the HIV Law Project.

The training will take place on the evening of January 12, 2015 from 6:30-7:30pm at the New York City Bar Association at 42 West 44th Street.

To RSVP for this training, email the City Bar Justice Center’s Fragomen Fellow, Danny Alicea, here.
