i will share my experienced about my family's request for humanitarian reinstatement...in 1998 my father petitioned us,my father(petitioner) died in 2005,in 2010 we received a letter from NVC that our petitions(4 of us) become current and ready for visa processing,and in that letter a form of a choice of address was included,we signed the form but we also included a letter telling the NVC that our petitioner is already dead,after a month NVC said that we should send them my father's death certificate,we complied with it and after the NVC receieved my father's death certificate,NVc said that they returned our petitions to USCIS and all correspondence should be address to USCIS regarding our petitions..my brother who will be our substitute sponsor wrote a letter asking for humanitarian reinstatement,after 5 months months my brother received a reply and in that letter USCIS said that the benificiaries should be the one to make a humanitarian reinstatement request...my brother(substitute sponsor) planned to hire a lawyer in fact he consulted with a lawyer but the lawyer said that we only have a small chance of getting our petitions be reinstated and the fee is exorbitant if we would like to hire him,so we decided that we will not get a lawyer...i spent more than a year researching on how to make our HR request,i know for a fact that we will have one chance of having it reinstated,while doing my research,i never read anything about a successful HR request most of them got denied it was very frustrating,but i just continued researching,what help me a lot was the USCIS website,especially all those memos about HR,when it was time for me to write our HR request i am well informed and confident that i can make it right...our humanitarian request letters was short but precise plus i included with it all the documents needed,the affidavit of support was filled up correctly and we got a favorable response,me and my 3 brothers petitions were reinstated....

the best time to request for humanitarian reinstatement is when your petition becomes current,plus make your letter short and precise and you must have provide a complete documents,no room for mistakes,so i advise you to spend time to research and the affidavit of support should be answered correctly...thse tthings are only based on my experience...and even if you hire a lawyer,your not 100% sure that your HR request will get a favorable response,as some people told me that evenif they hire a lawyer their HR request was denied....

Hi Red371,

 

Can you please help me? My father (the petitioner) died in the beginning of 2021. My 2 married sister and mine case was approved by USCIS in 2009 and forwarded to NVC. My question is should I only inform NVC about my father (the petitioner) death and wait till NVC send our case back to USCIS and then appeal for humanitarian reinstatement wih USCIS or inform NVC about death and appeal for HR with it?

I think as from 2021 NVC does not receive any letter. The only way to communicate with NVC is via online forms only.

Thanks.

We prepared the HR through a lawyer. She sent the HR application which was also the notification of death of the petitioner to NVC with a courtesy copy to USCIS. The USCIS acknowledged the receipt of our case after two months. The case status on the USCIS now shows " State Department sent back your case to USCIS. We are reviewing it and we will inform by mail.".

Hi,

I would appreciate if you could provide edited version of that letter your lawyer sent to NVC. Thanks.

Congrats to your brother. I would appreciate a little detailed information e.g.,

1. How much time did the USCIS take to make the decision after they received the petitions and the HR request?

2. How was the HR request approved? Did they send you their decision by mail or through the USCIS online case status?

 

Please share any other important information to give us an idea.

The letter is basically describing the reasons why your case should be reinstated.

I received a case update email today that “the case approval was reaffirmed and is being mailed back to the Department of State”. We submitted the HR request back in August 2017 so it took about 4 years to get approved.
