I130 Petition for my Mom

[Bernville 0]

I'm not sure if its appropriate to post my query to this forum but I'm also a Filipino and I think it would be easier to post this here...

My grandfather filed a petition to my mom including her siblings. on 1992 of February my mom received a Notice of Action with the A#, Receipt# for the Application/Petition I130 Petition for Alien Relative, and from the body of the letter it says that

The above petition has been approved.

We have sent it to the Department of State Transitional Immigrant Visa Processing Center (TIVPC)

This completes all ins action on this petition. The Department of State Transitional Immigrant Visa Processing Center will communicate shortly with the person the petition is for concerning further immigrant Visa processing steps.

Form I-797

And lately on 1997 my Grandfather which is the petitioner died.

And as I understand, the petition filed by my Grandfather is approved already based on the NOA we received. My Mom then sent a Request for Humanitarian Reinstatement Form I-130 on year 2004 and lately we received a Notice of Transfer letter on February 2006 stating that the Petition for Alien Relative which had been automatically revoked. From that point my Mom did not sent a letter as she thought that it was already denied.

I just want to ask if we can then request to re-open the case and if there are any tips you can share that we can do? Since the Receipt# from the NOA we received is not pulling up any records on the https://egov.uscis.g...s/Dashboard.do.

Does it "approval notice" anywhere on the NOA from Feb. 1992? If yes, then it's the approval notice. If no, then is probably the day that INS received the petition filed by your grandfather.

It's unlikely that the case will be reopen. Your mom has already tried humanitarian reinstatement. She can't just keep trying. When someone ask for humanitarian reinstatement and never pursued it, it is unlikely that she will get the opportunity to pursue it again. At some point, it must end. Usually the end point is when someone does not bother to finish the request for humanitarian reinstatement.

Yes, it was an approval notice. On the letter informing us that the above petition is automatically revoked because of the death of the petitioner. We sent an email thru the CSC, and they gave us a new Receipt# apart on the old receipt# from the NOA we received on Feb. 1992.
