TPS for Lebanon and Relief for Lebanese F-1 Students

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has designated Lebanon for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months due to the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis. Eligible Lebanese nationals in the U.S. can apply for deportation protection, work permits, and travel authorization. Additionally, DHS is easing work restrictions for Lebanese F-1 students facing economic hardship, allowing more work hours, reduced course loads, and off-campus work through 2026.
