hey guys,

i m going through this thing myself and the thing some pppl said u hav to apply within 1 yr  of ur arrival. But  it also means if somebody  comes to this country in 2006 and leaves say 2008 Jan and again enters in 2008 May, then u'll b eligible for asylum, but u hav to clarify why u didn't file it b4 and what happened when u went to ur home country last time... for this u better prepare with very good lawyers in this business and its a time consuming process too, so gotta have patience and some money and make sure u havn't violated any immi. laws..

write me back if u hav any questions, i don't know everything but know lot of things since i have my case pending and working with my lawyers
