The question of whether a TPS holder can adjust status in the US is a hot button issue at this time and the circuit courts are divided as to whether it can be done. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California just decided that it was possible in following the Sixth Circuit in Ohio. Meanwhile the 11th Circuit with jurisdiction over the states of Alabama, Georgia and Florida has decided in the negative. The rest of the circuit courts have not yet ruled.
