Legal Question in Immigration Law in Illinois

Hi, my dad (permanent resident) filled a petition I-130 for my unmarried brother and then couple years later he got married and now dad is a usa citizen. does my brother's petition is still valid? i wrote a letter to the nvc explaining the whole situation and they approved the petition. i want to make sure before my dad pays any money towards a petition that is nullified. Please reply asap as we need to pay the money and fill out form ds-3032. I checked with the congressman's office they told me this petition is void. Thanks for your help in advance.

If the unmarried son of a permanent resident got married prior to his father's naturalization, the petition is no longer valid. If the son married after father became a U.S. citizen, then the petition is valid.
