Petitioner dies
Hi
My mother in law had filed case for her daughter in 2002 and i got married in 2006. Now in November last year NVC asked us to provide AOS, visa fee and every other document. we provided every docuemtn, police certificates, pictures, passport copies, DS230 forms everything. my mother is law was not working so we had a joint sponsor for our AOS.
We were waiting for our priority date to become current to get interviwed and medical etc.
My mother in law has died last week and we dont know what will happen with our visa now. as she was the direct petitioner, she had died. The joint sponsor is a friend of my mother in law (us citizen, businessman), he said that when time will come, he will give us full support of everything.
Can anybody please tell me what is the law on this??? should we sit quietly and wait for our interview letter or should we do something about it.
Is your wife living inside or outside the US? There is a relatively new provision for non-marriage cases that allows continuing the process if the beneficiary was living inside the US at the time of the petitioners death. But given that you were filing DS-230 I figure youre outside the US so you wont benefit from that.
me and my wife with our two children are living in pakistan. so what should we do and what is the status of our case now.
