You should apply for asylum within 1 year of last entry, unless you can show exceptional circumstances. We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney to evaluate your casse.

You may be eligible to apply for asylum. Generally you need to apply for asylum within one year of entering the US. However, there are exceptions to this rule. Further, more information is needed regarding where you are from and the type of persecution you face in your home country. You should seek assistance from an attorney to determine if you have a strong asylum case and are eligible to apply.
