In this video, Green Card Attorney Carlos Batara shares how immigrant spouses of deceased U.S. citizens can win permanent residence, even after their husband’s or wife’s death.
He outlines three separate programs. Carlos explains the requirements for filing an I-360 self-petitio, the most common route for widows and widowers faced with the loss of their sponsor. He also describes two other less used options for those who may not qualify for a self-petition: the Surviving Spouse Act and a request for Humanitarian Reinstatement.
His goal is to ensure immigrants who were not able to obtain legal status before their spouse died do not give up their hopes of winning a green card before fully exploring all their options.
