Here is word officially (Not in USCIS website)

(Hartford, CT) - U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) today announced that, after his push, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Nepalese nationals currently residing in the United States. After the devastating earthquake in Nepal, Blumenthal urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to grant TPS, a temporary benefit aimed at providing relief to foreign nationals in the United States whose country has been devastated by natural disaster or civil strife. This designation allows Nepalese nationals, already in the country, to stay in the U.S. for a set period of time while their home country recovers. In response to past natural disasters, the U.S. has extended TPS to Honduras, Nicaragua and Haiti.

Isn't TPS meant for someone who is in risk of being in out of status because of his or her expired/expiring legal visa? Yeha ta status mai hune haru pani status change garera TPS ma jane kura garira dekhchu. Maile kura nabujhekai ho ta?

So, from what I understood, those in valid F and H visas cannot maintain their visa and TPS simultaneously. They will not have the previous non immigrant visa when they get approved for TPS.

Someone plz answer to my question! I entered US as a B2 applicant on May 23rd, 2015, right after the major quakes in Nepal. Now my question is will I still be able to apply for TPS?

@Deveraaz, You are not. you were supposed to be here before April 25th Earthquake.

@Deveraaz

I think you can apply, but wait until it is officially announced.

Any official news or any other news related to TPS yet?
