Hi @aliloai96

As long as your visa has a total period of validity of at least 6 months, then you will not have to go to a camp (in German Erstaufnahmeeinrichtung). You have to make an asylum application in writing to BAMF (the authority responsible for processing asylum claims). Here is a form from BAMF that you can use to submit a written application:

https://***.bamf.de/SharedDocs/Anlagen/DE/AsylFluechtlingsschutz/Asylverfahren/asylerstantrag-schriftlich.pdf?__blob=publicationFile

You should get some assistance from someone with expertise in this area before submitting an application. Once you have applied for asylum, your current visa continues to be valid and you can continue living where you are and studying.

Best,
