Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

My sisterin-law has an approved petition from her Father, who is a US Citizen. The petition was filed Mar. 1995. Unfortunately, her father died in Oct. 2011. She was here in the US when her father died. Likewise, the petition
which was approved and about to get her green card, was retrogressed. She continued to stay here in the US
after her father died and was advised that under the survivor's law she can stay here and wait for the priority date
to be current. My wife, a US citizen acted as substitute petitioner, but because she does not have enough income
requested for an affidavit of support from her son who gladly did. A lawyer was consulted and said that this can not
substitute for her father because she is receiving SSI. Is this true
Thank you,
Val Tong
