Hello.
An application for asylum is based on credible fear you have for returning to your country, not whether you are single or married so if you wish to marry it will not effect your application.
If you are marrying a US citizen it may provide you with additional ways to stay in the US.
Please call me for a free consultation to further explain specifically to your case.
