People who arrived in the United States after the designation of the country would not be eligible to apply. One of the reasons is because after a country has been designated for temporary protected status, you don’t want to have a massive movement of people from that country to the United States. So normally, the person has to be in the United States at the time or prior to the designation. Another group of people who would not be able to qualify for temporary protected status are any people with felony convictions or with two or more misdemeanors.
