Immigration Attorney, Edward Cuccia, speaking on NY1 explains that individuals awaiting approval for their application generally face no risk of deportation unless a crime is committed.

Edward Cuccia said “It protects you from deportation, so if you’re here in the United States, and you’re in immigration proceedings,” Cuccia said. “If you’re in danger of being deported, you can’t be.”

Edward Cuccia also noted that the process of applying for Temporary Protected Status is lengthy, often surpassing the time required for work authorization or asylum applications.

“We’ll file one poor fella and he’ll wait two years and the next poor fellow will get it in a few months and I have no idea why,” Cuccia said.
