Yes, it's possible but you must accompany your application with a demonstration of exceptional circumstances as to why you didn't file for asylum within one year of your entry. Good luck.

It may be possible to apply for asylum. It depends on when you last entered the US. There may be other alternatives for you as well.

Please do not hesitate to contact my office for further questions you may have.
