There is no way to fast-track the Fourth preference petition. The fact is that if a principal beneficiary passed away, then it is exceedingly difficult to immigrate.

There may be complications if the principal beneficiary passes away before the visa petition is approved.

The chances of you getting a "Green Card" depend on: 1. How did you enter: The process you will have to complete in order to get a Green Card is different depending on factors like whether you came to the U.S. legally or Illegally; 2. Criminal convictions or prior negative Immigration history; 3. Whether you and your girlfriend can show that the marriage is a "good faith" marriage i.e. not entered into solely for immigration purposes These are just the key things you need to keep in mind. The best thing to do is to hire an Immigration attorney in your area who has handled such applications before.
