Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
My father, whos is the mail petitioner, died on September 9 and my sister, who is being petitioned, is set to have her interview at the american embassy of the philippines in October 15. What is the best way to solve this problem?

When the petitioner (father) had died, the petition "died" with him. The usual process was to notify the USCIS, NVC or Embassy about the petitioner's death, and then apply for a humanitarian reinstatement of the I-130 petition, invalidated by the death of petitioner. It can be done if there is a substitute petitioner and sponsor.

When the petitioner died, the I-130 petition will automatically be revoked. Your sister might consider the humanitarian reinstatement of the I-130 petition, or if she has other options.
We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.
