A friend of mine, has a unique immigration issue. Here is the summary.
She came to USA on F1 visa in early 90s, she was a student for the entire course duration and graduated. She overstayed her visa and continued to living until now. In early 90s her father (in the process of naturalization) sponsered her green card application and she got her I-130 approved. Her father could not file I-485 at that time due to non-current of priority date. Unfortunately, her father died after submitting I-485. Her I-485 application was denied because her sponspor was not alive. Can she appeal on humanitarian grounds or under special circumstances for illeagal immigrants. I greatly appreciate your input or suggestions.
