Get I-130 receipt number when the original petitioner is passed away

The G-639 freedom of information act request form by U.S.C.I.S. has a checkmark for whether you are attempting to obtain a record for someone who is deceased. You should be able to obtain the I-130 receipt number if you are the executor, administrator, or trustee of your brother's estate. Otherwise the G-639 form asks whether the requester is a family member, but without authority over your brother's estate, I am not sure that U.S.C.I.S. would give the information. You should consult with an immigration lawyer to go over your brother's case for further documentary requirements.
