This decision to terminate the TPS for Nepal by DHS necessitates a thorough examination of the potential avenues for immigration relief that may be available to affected individuals. It is imperative to explore and understand the options that can provide support in light of this significant change in immigration policy. Accordingly, the following options are available to the affected individuals. 

**Non-Immigrant Visa Options:** This includes F-1 student visas, B-2 tourist visas, H-1B visas, O-1 visas, and other relevant categories.

**Family-Based Immigration Options:** These options encompass filing for a marriage-based Green Card as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen, among others.

**Employment-Based Immigration Options:** This includes EB-1A and EB-2 National Interest Waiver (NIW) visas, among others.

**Humanitarian Options:** Available avenues include U visas for victims of crime, T visas for victims of human trafficking, and protections under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

**Asylum**

It is imperative to note that the aforementioned forms of relief must be applied for prior to the TPS termination date of August 5, 2025. Current TPS holders are strongly encouraged to take prompt action.

Moreover, should individuals find themselves without another lawful basis to remain in the United States following the termination of TPS, they may utilize the CBP One mobile application to facilitate their departure from the United States.
