Is there a problem for PHD holders in TPS status to file Green Card in USA?

· · 0 views
I am a PHD student and about to finish my studies. I am originally from Nepal and USA has granted TPS to Nepalese in USA. If I apply and granted TPS status (which allows me to work anytime), and later my employer or me (myself) file for green card, will there be any problem?

TPS does not lead to a green card, thus the 'temporary' in the T of TPS (versus the 'permanent' in 'permanent resident'). Your employer can petition for an H1B which could lead to a green card, independently of your TPS status.
