A: Simply mark yes to the question about having filed a petition previously for your mother and then input the information that the form asks (name, date of filing and that it was approved). I might suggest that on the addendum page (page 12), you then indicate that the NVC terminated the case after too long a period of inactivity. Consider scheduling a consultation with a competent and experienced immigration attorney if you have any questions/concerns. Ever since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many attorneys offer online video consultations.
