Sorry to hear about your father .... hopefully released soon.

How long to go before your student visa expires? And near the end of it, ordinarily would you be expecting to apply for a new student visa?

And what about your finances? Does the kidnapping of your father now mean that you are short of funds, and thus unable to continue studying?

Just trying to work out the way forward. Of course you can claim asylum, but the question is whether that claim would be successful? While you can be here legally on a student visa then I see no need for you to apply for asylum, but what about in the future?

Do you have evidence that your father has been kidnapped?
Newspaper articles, govt circulars, police reports, any hard evidence to prove this?
Praise The Lord!!!!
