My name is Nakissa Sedaghat and this is my immigration blog. As a lawyer practicing immigration law in the Los Angeles area for a decade, I would like to share my point of view and some relevant information on the immigration laws and headlines of the day.

Japanese citizens: no TPS yet but other benefits
Though USCIS has not issued TPS status for Japanese citizens yet, which I hope they will do in light of the increasingly horrific news about the dangerous radiation levels caused by their nuclear meltdown, it has agreed to assist Japanese citizens in the US or Japanese LPRs (Green Card holders) abroad with extensions of their visas in some cases. I personally think being hit by an earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown all at once would qualify them for temporary protection from USCIS and I really hope that we soon see an announcement for that. For more information about humanitarian assistance and other assistance programs offered by USCIS, you can go to their official website here.
