Query for all gurus:
I am a Legal Permanent Resident, Green Card Holder. My LPR petition was sponsored by my employer and I sponsored my wife as a derivative during 2003. My wife died in an accident a few months after gaining LPR.

I remarried non-US citizen. I was wondering if I can reuse the original Immigrant Number used for deceased spouse for the I-130 immigration application for my wife instead of waiting for another Immigrant Visa Number to become available??

Sorry to hear about your wife.
Unfortunately you cannot re-use the immigrant visa number which was issued earlier. You have to go through the whole process again.
