co-sponsor for AOS

[immquestion]

Hi

what if the co-sponsor died during the process of getting the green card.

A new co-sponsor will need to be found.

As per USCIS manual "Chapter 9 - Death of Petitioner or Principal Beneficiary"

If the co-sponsor dies, the applicant typically must obtain a substitute co-sponsor to continue to be eligible for adjustment of status.

What do you mean by "co-sponsor"? Like a joint sponsor? Or a household member of the petitioner?
