As a human rights lawyer who has done extensive immigration work, let me make something absolutely clear.

Asylum is legal immigration.
There's no "port of entry" requirement.
There's no "visa" requirement.
There's no "first country" requirement.
You enter the United States, and you apply for asylum.

Because asylum is legal immigration. Period.

Period.

@QasimRashid what stops the entire world from coming a seeking asylum. Just asking for clarity as I don’t understand the rules.
@abbas @QasimRashid Article 1 of the Refugee Convention explains that for you. It's easily findable and you can read it in like 20 seconds.
