I have know two such people in my personal life and my parents/friends knows many more. Those who came to US for education, for visitation, and once they stepped into the US soil, they would apply political or religious asylum and were granted in very short time.. I have personally known a person who is two years younger than me got his asylum within three month he step in to the US soil.

He doesn't speak a single word of English, and have no desire to learn (that mostly is not his fault, as his father wanted him to work, to bring money into the family).

So, yes, every time I see him with his temporary status (he will be granted green card in a year), it just pains me...
