Yes, you may apply for asylum in the United States even if you are currently in the country on another valid visa. U.S. immigration law allows individuals to seek asylum regardless of their current immigration status

Yes, you can apply for asylum even if you're here on a visa like F-1, B-1/B-2, or H-1B. Being on a valid visa doesn't prevent you from asking for asylum, what matters is whether you have a well-founded fear of persecution in your home country

Yes, you're allowed to apply for asylum while holding another visa. You don’t have to wait until your visa expires. What’s important is that you file your asylum application within one year of entering the U.S
