Asylum seekers are considered non immigrants. You can attend College but you will have to pay the expensive out of state fee. I don't know about the visa status requirements. Also, every college have their own residency requirements. So you have to inquire with the College you are interested in attending. Once you have received your asylum, you are eligible for residency fee if you meet the residency requirements, financial aid, student loans among other benefits.
Yea but what is strange is that most colleges don't accept asylum applicants,they consider them illegals and thus cannot enroll them since as an asylum applicant you have no visa status but you are just an asylum applicant
Hey guys i just want to know if that's true that even though you are an asylum seekr with EAD card you cannot attain college or be eligible to apply for residency.If someone has a clue on this please share.I appreaciate that.

I cant believe that some asylum cases take more than the processing time indicated in USCIS website ,Like my case
I am an asylum seeker in Virginia and my daughter is also on my application.I was informed today by the local community college that my daughter as per USCIS guidelines is not eligible for full time admission as her visa status is still considered B1/B2. Asylum seeker is not considered eligible for college admission by them. had been trying to qualify for in state tuition since we have been in statefor last 3 years and paying taxes. She has secured very good GPA and SAT scores and got admission from Radford as well as Virginia Tech universities. But we could not afford the out of state fee so we decided to opt for community college for some time and then get the credits transferred but today I am being informed that she might be denied to get education.

Hellooooo, did you finally get into school?Thank you Mercier and Gandrud,
I have known something new by reading your posts. I believe I will look around for college requirements and see if I could join one of those as I await the tedious and long immigration processing times.
