On what grounds would you request asylum?

[Unlockable 7,314]

Asylum has to have a legitimate claim. What would be the basis of the asylum?

"Still figuring it out" is not gonna fly. It is not a selection of items you can pick off a menu.

 

Yes there are a lot of people who apply for asylum but have you seen the approvals? Asylum has a high rate of denials. It is because of the high amount of fraud. Which, if you are saying things like your are "figuring it out", it means you don't have a legit reason and this will raise suspicion.

 

So if you haven't "figured it it" by now, I can tell you now applying would be in vain because you will likely get denied.

You really have to explain your situation a little better..

Maybe it’s the language, maybe it’s a lack of knowledge but you cannot just seek asylum because your marriage breaks down.. Are you sure you mean asylum?

Sure you can apply for asylum if that is what you really want.   You are supposed to apply from outside the US.  You will need to go back to Nigeria.

 

But realistically that is probably not what you want.   Unfortunately if you do not AOS via your spouse you will be very limited in any options to stay in the US.

No, that doesn't fly. Usually asylum seeker has to prove imminent danger to their lives had they have to return home because political, religious persecution, stuff like that. "A lot of Nigerians applied for asylum" or "my marriage broke down" are not legitimate reasons for asylum. My grandfather had asylum in the US. He worked for the South Vietnamese Government who was a US allies. When the war was over and the communists took over, he spent 10 years in a labor camp to be "re-educated". Now, THAT was a case for asylum.

You can only apply for asylum within the US or at the border to the US. There is no way to apply abroad. I believe there is a 1 year or under time period upon entry too...?

 

Nobody “finds a reason” for asylum (with a legitimate claim). They are currently and actively fearing persecution.

In case of abuse from your spouse you can apply for VAWA and need to provide evidence to uscis. This is free and if approved you dont need your spouse to sponsor you as it is slef sponsor. Check it on uscis website

There are many Non Profits willing and able to help with Asylum claims.

Asylum law is very complex. There are ways to apply beyond the one year deadline for asylum. You definitely need to speak to an attorney. Also as someone else correctly pointed out, you can only apply for asylum within the US.

Seems you have no bonafide case for asylum if you are "looking for reasons" to apply.

 

You may or may not be eligible for VAWA to get your green card, if your spouse is abusing you and you have documented evidence of that abuse to submit.
