The Sixth and Ninth Circuits, but nevertheless, have found that the TPS award counts as an "admission", giving some immigrants on those two circuits a path to permanent residence.

On the other hand, in the Fifth and Third Circuits, a grant of TPS does not constitute an admission ". (Publication, Law 360). You can consult more information in the following link.
