Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

what happens when the person that filed for someone else dies?

I have a friend who's dad filed for him like 5 yrs ago but now he is 21 and hes father died. Does him being 21 affect him in anyway?

That's a very complex situation, and the answer depends on specific facts. Your friend should consult an immigration attorney.

If he is residing in USA, then there is a chance that he is protected by a new 2009 law and later can adjust status by obtaining a substitute sponsor.
