petitioned for parents - Father passed away - what to do ?

[Lazybones18 261]

US citizen - filed for parents to come to USA about 6 months ago 

 

father passed away 3 weeks ago 

 

case is in NVC stage seems like it 

 

Do I need to do anything or inform NVC of fathers death ? 

 

also mother is alone back home. Devastated. any chance to expedite ?

 

Thanks

Don't pay the fees for your father.  When you get the fee letter, just inform the NVC that your father has passed.

 

You can't expedite.  Your mother being alone is not an acceptable reason for an expedite.

both AOS and IV fees has been paid 

 

Case reached NVC around July last year.. all documents were submitted by September last year 

 

1) Do we need to do anything at this stage ?

2) where can i find how long taking for Islamabad embassy ?

 

Thanks

1.  Notify the NVC that the beneficiary has passed and the case needs to be closed.  
2.  You can't.  You can go by what people post on FB, here, etc.

What is the best way to notify NVC ?

I am assuming this link: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html?wcmmode=disabled

 

will it cause any delay for the mother ?

 

or can the mother just show up to the interview and mention father passed away

 

Thanks

Will not delay your mother's case.

Why let the US Embassy waste an interview slot for your father? Let the NVC know so they can close the case and give the interview slot to someone else's parent.
