Silmaril Fate of Amandil

I ran a search on the topic and i didn't see anything, so correct me if i'm wrong, but i have reached a pondering thought. Did Amandil ever reach Valinor? If he did, did they ignore his request and sunk Númenorë anyway? Although his fate doesn't matter in the big picture, i'm sure Elendil would like to know where his father is! Could he reside in Valinor? Doubt it, but it's still a question. I guess it all depends on what the Valar think. In my opinion, they would've listened to what he said, ignored him, and sent him on his way to Middle Earth. Mabey the valar were in a bad mood and killed him? Mabey they were in a good mood and let him stay. It doesn't seem like they'd let him stay though. Would the valar beleive his attempt to save his kingdom? Or would they just think he was trying to save his skin? This idea has been festering in my mind for quite some time now, and i need a voice of reason. So all you barrow-downers out there, please shead some light on the situation, because i am in great need of any ideas. (Actually I'm not, but nevertheless, i'd like to know what you think!)
