No I didn’t ask for asylum 1st I visited then I applied for a student visa from within and I’m still herei don't think he said anything about seeking for asylum though.
honestly you never know until you try I would just do it and get it over with what’s the worse that can happen a no? But what’s the best that can happen? You won’t know until you try. Good luckit seems it's because you didn't need a visa hence why you didn't encounter issues. and as you said it wasn't your fault her case is different she willingly broke their immigration rules.. but who knows... she can always chance it.
