I come to US with K1 Visa, and i get marry here in US within 90 days, but still i did not apply for green card, because i had issue with my wife,

Look for an experienced immigration attorney. Asylum is under INA 208 so I'm not sure if the Matter of Song restriction would apply.

Entry on a K-1 does not prevent one from seeking asylum.

 

OP, considering that you did marry and then everything went to hell, do you think you might have a case for a VAWA claim rather than asylum?

 

In either case, I recommend you get a good immigration lawyer for this, neither asylum nor VAWA nor any other options that remain open to you are things I'd recommend DIYing.
