This is a situation where you are best advised to consult an attorney. You may apply for asylum at any time if you have a well-founded fear of persecution. You must fear persecution on account of your race, nationality, religion, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. You are supposed to file for asylum within a year of arrival. There are exceptions to this deadline including if you maintained status. To assess your eligibility for asylum, I encourage you to consult an attorney.
