Technically you are eligible for asylum, but questions may arise as to the level of your fear of persecution since you appear to have been using the passport of your home country and have been traveling in and out – apparently without fear of the authorities. A new set of circumstances since your last entry giving rise to a fear of persecution could largely allay those concerns.
