IR1 Petitioner deceased

[Karay 6]

Hello,

 

An applicant’s petitioner passed away after they received an interview letter. The child of the petitioner was a joint sponsor. What has to be done now? Thank you.

What are they looking to do, file as a Widow?

Yes. What must the applicant do?

I 360 is the form

Thank you. However, On the USCIS website, it states the filed I -130 automatically turns to I -360. No idea how to go about it. Who should be contacted at this point ? NVC? The embassy?

Complete the I-360, send to the appropriate USCIS lock box.  All the instructions, eligibility, and information you need are on the USCIS website:

 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-360

This is unnecessary. A spousal I-130 where the U.S. citizen spouse dies will automatically be converted to an I-360 at the consular interview. The beneficiary is also now exempt from the I-864 requirements and should bring an I-864W to the interview. 

 

The beneficiary can email either NVC or the consulate, depending on where the petition is,  to let them know, but this will be done automatically when they show up for the interview.

If case is already DQ and awaiting interview, then email the IV unit with a copy of the death certificate  and I-864 W ( as a widow she is exempt).

No need to file I-360…I-130 automatically converts .

 

You should also update those on CEAC and send message to NVC
