My mother is the primary applicant of the program, and we are in the process of I-829. After we acquired CPR status, she returned to our home country before COVID, and has not come back due to travel restrictions. Now, it”s still unlikely for her to reenter the US for the biometric appointment for I-829. How would her situation impact me as a dependent? We filed I-829 separately, since I”m over age 21.
