Such denial shall not preclude a grant of asylum for an otherwise eligible dependent who has filed a separate asylum application, nor shall such denial result in an otherwise eligible dependent becoming ineligible to apply for asylum due to the provisions of section 208(a)(2)(C)
of the Act. (Redesignated as paragraph (f), previously paragraph (e), effective 1/5/01; 65 FR 76121)
