H.R. 1892 father died

Can someone please help me out. My boyfriend was petitioned by his father who was a LPR but died after the approval of the I-130. If I marry him I am a Citizen will H.R.1892 apply to him since LPR are only allowed to petition Unmarried children and spouses? Will we be able to reinstate the petition so that he qualifies under 245i which was effective when the father petitioned him? Somone please help!!

You can marry him and sponsor him by filing I-130 and he will have to file I-485 for his AOS, I-765 for EAD etc. A person can be sponsored by different people and can have several AOS applications pending. When he will get AOS on your sponsorship then he can abandon that petition which was filed by his father.
Good luck.

Thank you for responding to my question. Can you please tell me if he will be protected under the 245I if I marry him now and 245I is not in effect or will that be retroactive to his father's petition? I am lost. Do not want him to leave if I will marry him for 10 years.

Maybe I was misunderstood. His Father petitioned him in 1991 when 245I was in effect. If I marry him now and petition for him he will be banned from 245I because it is not in effect. He entered the country without inspection. What I am hoping is that there is some law that will allow for me to become the alternate sponsor H.R. 1892 and he would be able to continue with his father's petition based on the fact that I am USC. However, since LPR are only allowed to petition spouses and unmarried children under or over the age of 21 will that hurt his father's petition when I marry him? Or can we apply based on H.R. 1892 and continue so that he can be protected by 245I an apply for AOS here in the US?

someone, anyone please help me!

IF the sponsor dies , petition dies with him.
There are no exceptions.
IF you marry him now it will not cure the illigal presence because he was entered without inspection.
245i is history, he will nor be allow to adjust under previous 245i because he was sponsored under spouse and childern catagory for LPR. it was only possible if you would have married when his one application was in process under 245i and hen files another " change in status" based on marriage coupled with the previously filed.
ONce the Petitioner dies , pettition dies, and if you marry now all the process will be all over again.

Are you sure? So what is H.R. 1892 for? It is to my understanding that this law allows for the alternate sponsor to proceed in case original petitioner has deceased? Am I wrong or can you clarify it for me.

Thanks

ITs clearly state that petition has to be approved and then id petitioner dies,, you can change sponsor, also it should be the relation which stated here.
ITs not for them whos petition just filed and petitioner died.. Got it?

Mohan or anyone willing to help. The petition
I-130 was approved in June of 1991 and father died in August of 1991. Again the petition was approved. In waiting for the visa number to be available the father died. Help!

IF the only wait was priority date, then marriage to USc can change the catagory and he can be adjusted under spouse and childern of USC. Find a good lawyer in area and file the package.

I am sorry I must be such a pest now. But ca you please tell me going back to 245i does he qualify? Can you recommend an attorney in CA. Do you have any idea how long the process takes.

ThankS
