As most people know when the petitioner dies the petition dies with him. And I know how crushing that can be for people. Some people have waited decades for the priority date on their petition to become current. They're looking forward to either coming to the U.S. or if they are in the US to finally get the green card a new and better life for themselves and their family members. However there could be hope even if the petitioner died. It is possible for that petition to live on either through Humanitarian Revalidation or Section 204(l) which I call the Survivor Law. And we're going to be talking about what is involved in. Asking USCIS that even though the petitioner died. Could they allow the petition to live on. And if you enjoy this channel of course make sure to like and subscribe. When the petitioner dies, there could still be hope in that a person could apply for either Humanitarian Revalidation or section 204(l) which I will call the Survival Law for these purposes. Let's talk about the differences between Humanitarian Revalidation and the Survival Law to determine if perhaps you are eligible if the petitioner died. Humanitarian Revalidation. That is available if the beneficiary had been outside the U.S. when the petitioner died and the petition has already been approved. If the beneficiary arrived in the U.S. after the petitioner died and continued living here and then the private date becomes current, they would still have to seek Humanitarian Revalidation because they were not here on the day the petitioner died.

The alien had a lawful residence in the U.S. their lack of ties to their home country as well as other factors a person believes is important for USCIS to take into account as to whether or not they should exercise discretion and approve the case. It has to be well packaged, well presented and have lots of documentary proof. A lot of people think that they can do it themselves and it's easy, but it could be very, very difficult. In fact I pointed out that the California Service Center had at one time a 7 percent approval rate so you have to make sure it is well done well prepared. As far as Section 204(l) or the Survival Law that is in my opinion so much better and easier than Humanitarian Revalidation. Now the requirements are that the principal beneficiary or one of the derivatives had to have been in the U.S. when the petitioner died and they have to have continued to live in the US all...
