What happens if the petitioner dies after the principal beneficiary has immigrated to the U.S.?
Eligibility of derivative applicants seeking to follow to join a principal beneficiary who has already acquired Legal Permanent Resident status is dependent on the continuing legal permanent resident status of the principal, not on the status of the petitioner. Therefore, if the petitioner dies after the principal applicant has already become a Legal Permanent Resident and one or more derivative applicants seek to follow to join the principal applicant, the derivatives retain eligibility to follow to join despite the death of the petitioner.
