HUMANITARIAN REINSTATEMENT. Who to put as "petitioner" in NVC online application

[Bengalita 13]

Hello. I have a question about Humanitarian Reinstatement.  

USCIS has approved humanitarian reinstatement for a I130 case.  (Original petitioner is deceased, substitute sponsor is fleshly sister of beneficiary, and NVC Welcome Letter is now directed to fleshly sister).  When filling out the NVC online application, who should be put as the "petitioner" in the section that asks for petitioner's information?   The deceased?  Or the new Sponsor? 
I think it should be the new sponsor (fleshly sister) but just need to make sure.  Thanks!

fleshly sister

Huh??

Let me explain.  The original petitioner is dead.  The original peitioner was the FATHER of the beneficiary.  Now the new substitute sponsor is the FLESHLY SISTER of the beneficiary.  It's no longer the father.  It's the fleshly sister.

"Fleshly sister" is not a standard phrase in modern English.  You may want to use "biological sister" instead.

Here in USA we say fleshly. Biological is also an option. So now that we’ve established that, can you answer my question please? Thanks.

In 53 years in the states I've never used or heard the use of the adjective "Fleshly" to describe a sister.  I've never introduced my sister as my biological sister either. That is pretty off.

 

If the sister is the substitute petitioner, then she fills out the I-864.

I have never  come across fleshly. I would have assumed 'of the flesh'.

[SalishSea 18,125]

Must be a lost in translation type of thing.  I am a native-born American and I have never heard it either.

Hmmm. Merriam Webster:

 

fleshly

 adjective

flesh·ly | \ ˈflesh-lē  \

Definition of fleshly

1a: CORPOREAL, BODILY

b: of, relating to, or characterized by indulgence of bodily appetitesespecially : LASCIVIOUSfleshly desires 

c: not spiritual : WORLDLY

2: FLESHY sense 1a

3: having a sensuous quality fleshly art

 

.... definitely, biological is meant. 

Ok, back to topic...

Ok. I know the sister fills out the i864, but my question is: On the NVC petition: Who do we put as the petitioner? Sister? Or deceased father?  Thank you!!

On the NVC petition

What form number are you referring to?

[geowrian 22,338]

Native born USC, lived in the US my entire life...never once heard of a "fleshly" relative. Kinda morbid? lol

 

The petitioner is whoever provided the I-130.

A substitute sponsor could be the other relative.

I'm sure it makes more sense in the OP's first language.

"Here in USA"

Maybe you mean something other than "United States of America"?
