Agopian v. Holder

September 28, 2009

**Derivative asylum**

Because neither this Court nor the BIA has addressed the question of whether or how a child named for derivative asylee status in a parent’s asylum application may proceed in seeking asylum when the principal applicant is no
longer seeking such relief, the case is remanded for the BIA to determine in the first instance the status of Agopian’s application for asylum.
