SAD NEWS

Hello all

My wife had filed petitions for her parents (my in-laws) about five months ago. We received a letter from USCIS stating that they receive petitions and have deposited the money order. However, recently my father-in-law passed away two weeks ago. Do I need to contact USCIS and inform them of this? How do we cancel his I-130 ? Please advise. Also we have not received NOA1 since past four months. Please help

Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear the Sad news.

Here are things that you can do to make the process go faster and get the I-130 canceled.

Your first letter from USCIS, which stated that they have received the petition and money

is your NOA1.

make copy of your NOA1, the type a simple letter to USCIS and put the subject line to

withdraw the filed I-130. Give full details your wife and your father-in-law. Give them

the date of death and have your wife sign it. If possible get the death certificate of your

fater-in-law and attach it to the letter. Make sure you give them your case number in the letter,

which is on that NOA1.

Mail to USCIS, where you sent your I-130 forms. It will be withdrawn in weeks.

But make sure you get the death certificate of your father-in-law in future if you don't have one now,

because they are going to ask your mother-in-law, when she applies for her visa.

Thank you

Thanks for the quick reply. I do have the copy of Death Certificate. As soon as my wife returns to States, we will send a letter to USCIS requesting a cancellation of Father-in-law's I-130. Will this have any effect on my mother-in-law's I130 process ? Will be delayed because of this ? Just wondering

Also now that we have received NOA1, what is our next step to get my mother-in-law's file moving? Do we need to wait until we receive NOA2 from USCIS? Please advise

Thanks again!
