I am an EB-5 investor. My family was able to complete their biometrics, but due to travel issues I cannot. What will happen if I cannot complete my biometrics processing for my I-829 petition? How will my family's applications be affected?

But if you, the principal applicant, are denied, this could result in the other family member cases being denied and you can all be placed into deportation proceedings. You must reschedule and explain. Just appear at the Support Center and try and explain to them. Very important to take care of this ASAP.

This has to occur first before your spouse and children receive their unconditional permanent residency.
