Mauritania TPS Act of 2024
HR 7034, the Mauritania TPS Act of 2024, grants Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to nationals of Mauritania currently living in the United States. It provides an 18-month period of protection from deportation and work authorization, requiring applicants to have continuously resided in the U.S. since the law's enactment and meet other eligibility criteria. The bill establishes a $360 application fee with waiver options and permits limited travel abroad under emergency circumstances, subject to approval by the Secretary of Homeland Security. This directly affects eligible Mauritanian nationals who qualify under the specified requirements.
