\nLast Thursday, I joined journalist Orian Brito<\/a> to discuss an issue that continues to touch thousands of Venezuelan families in the United States: the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS)<\/strong><\/a> and the new legal actions that emerged after November 7. I appreciate every opportunity to help our community understand what these changes truly mean, especially during moments of uncertainty.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

During the interview, we talked about the document submitted by more than 125 Democratic legislators to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Although this filing has received significant attention, it is important to approach it with clarity and realism. Legally, it is an amicus brief, a supporting document that expresses political and humanitarian concern, but it does not have the power to reverse the termination of TPS on its own. At this stage, the decision ending TPS remains fully in effect.<\/p>\n

For many Venezuelans, especially those who relied solely on TPS and did not have another pending immigration process, this creates a difficult reality. Individuals without asylum applications, family petitions, or another form of relief are now without legal status as of November 7. This change carries serious consequences, including the accumulation of unlawful presence.<\/p>\n

I also addressed the confusion surrounding the $100 asylum filing fee<\/a>. USCIS has now clarified publicly that individuals with pending asylum cases do not need to pay this fee, even if a payment notice was previously issued. That clarification, however, came a few days after the court\u2019s order, and many people understandably felt lost in the process.<\/p>\n

We ended our conversation by discussing labor certification cases, travel permits, and the complexities created when TPS<\/a>, asylum<\/a>, and employment-based<\/a> processes intersect. These situations must be evaluated carefully, because each case has its own risks, timelines, and legal implications. For some, a viable path may exist. For others, certain steps\u2014like international travel\u2014can jeopardize everything.<\/p>\n

My goal is to keep our community informed with honesty and compassion. These are not easy times, but staying vigilant, asking questions, and seeking reliable legal guidance can make a meaningful difference. I thank Orian for opening this space for clarity and for the respect he always shows toward the immigrant community.<\/p>\n
