First, I am sorry for your loss.

Your sister's husband can file for removal of conditions on his own, the instructions are in the 751 instructions. He can do this at any time.

Yes, your brother in law can stay in the US. He needs to file form I-751 to remove the conditions on his green card and get his permanent card. On the bottom part of the form he will check off that he is filing for a waiver from the joint filing condition due to the death of his wife. He will include evidence that shows the validity of their marriage and include a copy of her death certificate. He doesn't need to wait until December to file. He can file as soon as he has the documents he needs together. I doubt he will have any problems with getting his 10 year card.

Again, my sincere condolences.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I don't have anything to add, but I am sorry for your loss.

Does he want to stay? From everything I have heard it is possible. Good luck.

My condolence to you and the rest of family first. Your brother-in-law is protected under the US immigration laws as spouce of a US citizen for more that 2 years and also for being a permanent resident. The only thing is that, instead of the 3 years waiting to become a US citizen, he will have to wait 5 years. He is ok... he can file to have the conditions removed on his own.
