Reprocessing petition

[Lizamae 0]

Good Day to all!

I'm Liza, my story is my grandfather filed a petition in the 90's to my father and his siblings since my granpa is an American citizen for being a veteran during the world war and just last year my father received his case number, unfortunately my granpa is already deceased and they told us that the petition is withdrawn for that matter. My question is can we reprocess the petition since my father have relatives there in the US?.If any of you have the same story as ours pls give me some advices.Thanks much

When did your grandfather died? Did he died before or after the I-130 was approved?

If your grandfather died before the I-130 was approved, then there is nothing that can be done. The petition is dead.

If your grandfather died after the I-130 was approved, you should look into getting a substitue sponsor.

When did your grandfather die in relation to the visa becoming current ? There is a substitute sponsor clause if he died after. Otherwise a qualified relative ( spouse, child, Parent or sibling ) will have to start a new petition with a new waiting cycle.
