The main EB-5 petitioner of a pending I-829 (pending for 6 years) died abroad, and the spouse and adult child were accompanying him abroad, both left US for more than a year due to medical reasons. They kept main residency and strong financial ties with US during this whole time. Can they still proceed with the I-829 application?
