I came on an f1 visa and plan on asking for asylum.When is it the best time to ask fo it and where.

You are allowed to request asylum during the time that you are an F-1 student going to the I-20 school or a reasonable period of time after you stop attending. The best time to ask for it is when you have your case entirely prepared. Applications for asylum are submitted to regional service centers of U.S.C.I.S. and distributed thereafter to the asylum offices having jurisdiction over your place of residence.
