All else fails your sponsor can always file I-824 to throw the case back to Dept of State. Approved petitions generally do not expire.

Here's my story.
1) Mother petitioned for me when she got her conditional LPR in 2013(F2A Category). I was 20 years old that time. My priority date is August 2013. Ignored the packet the embassy gave me as I do not have anyway to adjust in US.
2) i-130 got approved November 2013.
3) I turned 21 on March 2014. Which I guess moves me up to F2b?
3) Mother became a U.S. Citizen in 2018. Which I guess moves me up to F1?
When do I file for i-601A? Do I file when my priority date becomes current or can I file it now?
Thanks guys!
