Since 1971, Nolo's goal has been simple: Make America's legal system accessible to everyone. Our website, books, software, online legal forms and lawyer directory help millions of individuals, businesses and nonprofits solve their legal problems each year.
Nolo's book U.S. Immigration Made Easy explains deferred enforced departure (DED), but says that no countries' citizens are currently eligible for this benefit. However, President Bush recently designated certain Liberians -- those living in the U.S. with temporary protected status, or TPS, who haven't committed crimes, returned to Liberia, or otherwise become ineligible -- for DED.
You don't need to apply for DED status, and if you got a work permit with your TPS, it is automatically extended. (Or you can apply for a replacement one.) For details, see the USCIS website.
