Answer 1

It is possible, but it will be so hard that you will want to quit. Be ready for that.

Answer 2

Well, I found this for you:

You are not eligible for refugee status in the United States if you have been firmly resettled in another country. You will be considered firmly resettled if you have been offered resident status, citizenship, or some other type of permanent residence in a country other than the United States and the homeland from which you are fleeing.

It&#039;s from: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/m...

So.. if you have been accepted as a refugee in an EU country and offered some kind of permanent residence there, you can not apply in the US.

Answer 3

US won&#039;t accept you as a refugee if you are already settled as Refugee status in other country.

Sec. 208. (a) Authority to Apply for Asylum.-

(1) In general. - Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien&#039;s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 235(b).

(2) Exceptions. -

(A) Safe third country. - Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an alien if the Attorney General determines that the alien may be removed, pursuant to a bilateral or multilateral agreement, to a country (other than the country of the alien&#039;s nationality or, in the case of an alien having no nationality, the country of the alien&#039;s last habitual residence) in which the alien&#039;s life or freedom would not be threatened on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or po litical opinion, and where the alien would have access to a full and fair procedure for determining a claim to asylum or equivalent temporary protection, unless the Attorney General finds that it is in the public interest for the alien to receive asylum in the United States.
