It's better if you tell the truth. However, having a petition filed in your behalf is not the same thing as "applied for a visa". For the readers, this is why you see me reminding people so often that "filing a petition" is not "applying for a visa".

To the OP, if your case got to the Consulate stage and you personally filled out and delivered a "visa application" to a US Consulate abroad, then the answer is yes. If the case was ceased prior to any "visa application" the answer is "no".

The petitioner may want to address the prior petition and its status in their cover letter.

I would like to add, how much is the application fee now of K1, if beneficiary is from the Phils? thanks a lot..

The petition filing fee is $455. The visa application fee that will be paid according to the US Embassy in Manila's instructions will be the local equivalent of $131. Please understand the difference between filing a petition and applying for a visa. They are not the same thing.

Pushbrk brings up a good point. Have your fiance address the previous case when submitting the original petition. If USCIS approves your petition knowing this information, I don't think the consulate can later deny it. (not an atty, just what I have read around vj). Being from a high fraud consulate, many of us have addressed our 'red flags' in the original petition and not had problems, whereas others did not do this and had problems.

It's better to tell the truth. They have all the details in the computer all your papers processed in the past. Goodluck

As I've noted, it is not yet clear whether the OP ever applied for a visa. All we know is a petition was filed.

Petition and application are not the same thing. Please pay attention and stop using the terms as if they are the same.

Did you personally deliver or mail a visa application to a US Consulate or Embassy abroad?

A G325a mailed to your fiance to include in a petition filing is not a visa application. Please pay careful attention to the question. If you were never invited by a Consulate or Embassy to actually apply for a visa, then your answer is no. Even so, you current fiance should probably mention the earlier petition.

I've explained this now three times. Until you pay attention and answer the precise question I'm asking you, we will all be confused about whether you ever applied for a visa. I'm not going to ask again.
