Family was approved to immigrate to the US years ago but did not go. Now can we still go?

Okay so my dad was granted permission to immigrate to the US in 1994 (if I remember right) and he was allowed to bring his entire family as well (mom, my brother and I). It's because he worked for a US company during the Vietnam war and from what I was told, the company sponsored him or something like that to come to the US after the war was over.

At the time he did not want to go. Now almost 20 years later, can he and his family still move to the US? Is it way too late?

This might be a long shot but I'm looking for advice from people who have been in similar situations.

I'm having my brother to look for the paperwork (that he received in 1994 when dad got approved) and will consult with an attorney. In the meantime, if anyone on here has any input, I would be happy to hear!

Thanks!

IMO, its way too late now. Unless that same company is willing to re-file the petition for your dad. Sons/daughters married and/or over the age of 21 can no longer be derivatives.

Bro no harm in checking but I think it may be too late.

The question is too vague to provide any concrete answers to. You must find out exactly what was filed and by whom.
