US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi all! My wife needs to go back to Vietnam due to a family emergency and we're thinking of getting her waitlisted on a government chartered flight. We have some concerns about her ability to come back to the US though. Has anyone had any success flying on a commercial flight from Vietnam to the US during COVID-19? Which airline were you able to book from? Are flights hard to book as I assume there are less flights now? Any issues/gotchas?

Thanks!

Hi all! I'm hoping to get some advice from folks here on my wife's current situation. Due to her dad's illness, my wife needs to travel back to Vietnam during this time. While there are no commercial flights available, there are chartered flights by the Vietnam government for Vietnamese nationals. With the impact of COVID, we do not know if she'll be able to get a flight back to the US easily. We also don't know how long she'll be in Vietnam due to her dad's illness. I think the best thing to do is to apply for a re-entry permit before she leaves. Our issue is that she's in the middle of her RoC with 10 months left (expires August 2021) before the 18 month extension expires. My questions are:

1. Will the re-entry permit be valid only until this extension? Or will she receive a re-entry permit with a 2 year expiration?
2. If the re-entry permit expires at the same time of her extension, would it be better to just travel with extension notice and try to head back before 6 months stay?
3. Are biometrics being processed for re-entry permits right now? Her AOS biometrics were applied to her ROC filing. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this recently. We're trying to figure out when best to apply for the chartered flight as there may be a waiting list. We know that she shouldn't leave the US until biometrics are received for the re-entry permit. Our local office is San Jose, CA.

Thanks!

or do I mail it somewhere else??

My mom had 10 years green card but she didnt want to live in the US at the time so she filed I-407.

Now she wants to move to the US to live closer with me and her grandchildren. How hard is it for me to file another IR-5 application for her? 10 years ago, filing IR-5 is piece of cake. Now not so much.

I heard that they might deny her IR-5 application because she deem to become public charge? Is it true that they can deny IR-5 application due to public charge rule? What can I do to help the application.

Her situation right now is 65, divorced, good credit score, own a house with me in the US, no US employment history, and butt loads of cash in Vietnam

I received my appointment letter for CR1 visa for my wife. I have a second I-130 filed for her daughter with her own case number. Daughter is listed as ADDITIONAL APPLICANT at the bottom of my wife's letter. Will she get her own letter under her own case number?

I need to cancel our appointment and schedule for a later date. I've reviewed the instructions to do so on the website but I'm waiting to see if I need both letters (if this is the case) to reschedule or do I just reschedule for the Principal Applicant and bring the Additional Applicant to that interview.
