USCIS may withdraw TPS at any time if the noncitizen:

• A. Was not eligible for TPS at time granted
• B. Traveled briefly outside the United States with advance parole
• C. Failed to reregister for TPS because he/she forgot
• D. Was found to have entered without inspection

Answer: (A)

The correct choice is based on the principle that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is granted under specific eligibility criteria. If a noncitizen was not eligible for TPS at the time it was granted, USCIS has the authority to withdraw that status at any time. This speaks to the integrity of the TPS program, which is designed to provide safe haven to individuals from countries experiencing significant turmoil, natural disasters, or other extraordinary conditions.

If an individual was found to have never met the necessary conditions for TPS or misrepresented their qualifications during the application process, USCIS can revoke their status. This provision ensures that TPS is awarded only to those who truly meet the guidelines laid out by the law.

The other options relate to specific situations that do not necessarily lead to a withdrawal of TPS. For example, traveling with advance parole doesn’t disqualify an individual from maintaining their TPS status, and failing to re-register due to forgetfulness may not automatically negate their eligibility; there could be avenues for rectifying such situations. Entering without inspection might affect a person's eligibility in other contexts, but it is not a direct cause for withdrawal of TPS once granted, provided all other eligibility criteria were met.
