This is a sad story with an uncertain future.

A friend of mine was killed in an accident after he, his wife and son received their EAD and AP. The finger-printing was not done. 2 months back, the INS issued a memo to his wife stating their intention to deny the case due to death of the primary beneficiary. The lawyer has send a response asking the INS to reconsider based on humanitarian basis. No news from the INS yet. Now, the EAD has expired and cannot (?) be renewed.

Has anyone heard of such similar cases? If so, what was the outcome? Had INS shown compassion in such cases?

Please do accept my heartfelt Condolonces on the untimely demise of your friend.

Coming to the point yes I have heard of a few similar cases, they were connected with the 9/11 tragedy. I dont really know what the outcome was, but I read in India Abroad, that the local Congressman was involved, and a request was made to INS to reconsider.

Please can you maybe call up India Abroad and find out about that editon where they published that article, or try checking their web site archives. also would advise you to please contact the area Congressman, as well as the State Senators.

Please do not leave any stone unturned in helping this family, who at this time needs your support most.

I am also going to do some research, and will post here if I find anything useful.
 
My condolonces to your friend's family

I heard few months ago that INS will grant GC to 9/11 victims. I will do some DD and let you know.

I am sure, INS would consider this type of cases on a humanitarian ground. You should also explore the possibilities of involving the senator.
 
Thanks folks for the info. If you get any more info, pls do pass it on.

BTW, this is NOT a 9/11 case. May God bless the survivors.
