f2b catergory. 

 

Priority date 27th february 2017.

 

Mother  applied for him. But unfortunately  she died few days ago

I dont believe so. I think the father would need to submit his own petition for the son. Humanitarian reinstatement applies to approved I-130 forms. Whether the PD can be recaptured I am not sure

Nothing can be done. The death of the petitioner voids the pending case  that does not have an approved form I-130.

No.

 

If father is the biological father, and an USC or LPR, a new petition can be submitted.   Of father is step father the age at the time of marriage would be important.
