Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

Unfortunately, the petition is automatically revoked whenever the petition dies before the beneficiary receives their immigrant visa. In limited circumstances, the beneficiary can request humanitarian reinstatement by substituting another family member as the sponsor.

Generally, once the petitioner dies, so does the petition. However, recent changes in immigration law may allow the petition to survive despite the death of the petitioner. You need to consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible to advise you of the procedure for replacing the deceased petitioner so the beneficiaries can still get their green card
