Can I apply for asylum if I am not at a port of entry?

Yes, you can apply for asylum even if you are not at a port of entry in Ohio. You can submit an asylum application to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) at any time, but you need to file it with the correct form, I-589. To do this, you need to complete the form, and submit it with any supporting documents. Furthermore, you must make sure that you are physically present in the United States when you submit your application, and you do not need to be in any particular state. This means that you can submit your application from anywhere in the U.S. After you file your application, you must attend an interview with an asylum officer. If the officer grants you asylum, you will be allowed to legally remain living in the United States and can eventually apply for a green card. If you are not at a port of entry, you can still submit an asylum application, however, you must be physically present in the United States when you submit the application. You will also have to attend an interview with an asylum officer to discuss your application and any potential reasons why you qualify for asylum. If you are granted asylum, you will be able to remain legally in the U.S. and may eventually be eligible for a green card.
