Hi there,

I am about to file I-129F for my fiance. I have filled out the form and I have a few questions. I got married in 2009 to my ex-wife and filed I-130 for her, and it was approved and she got her 2 year conditional green card. In 2011 we jointly filed I-751 to have the conditions removed on her green card, but after the filing our marriage broke down and we withdrew the I-751 as we wanted to go our separate ways, and we got divorced (and I have a copy of final divorce absolute). I am here now trying to file I-129F for my fiance, and in the I-129F form on page 2, item #14, it asks "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance or husband/wife before?" Is it asking, if I have ever filed I-129F form for anyone in the past? Or is it asking if I have ever filed for any immigration benefits for any aliens in the past? Do I answer that as "yes" or "no"? If I answer that as "yes", it is asking me details (date of filing, place of filing & result) about my previous filings. Since I have filed twice for my ex in the past (I-130 in 2009 and I-751 in 2011), which filing do I report in the form?

1) If I need to report about the I-130 filing I did in 2009, I have a copy of the I-130 form I signed in 2009, I am sure that I mailed out the form a day or two after I signed to USCIS, and probably the USCIS received it a few days after that. For the date of filing can I use the date I signed the form (I do not have a copy of NOA I received after USCIS got my paperwork), even though USCIS got the form a few days after that? Does using this date cause any problems? For the "city aor town" they are asking on item #14.f on page 2, do I provide the place where I mailed the forms from (which would be Massachusetts)? Or do I provide the USCIS address where I mailed the form to? If I need to provide the place where I mailed the form to (I-130 form that is), which I do not remember, can I write down "st albans, VT" as I filed in Massachusetts and that is the closest USCIS processing center we have in Massachusetts. And for the "Result" they ask in the form, can I just write "Approved"?

2) If I need to report about the I-751 filing we did in 2011, I have a copy of the NOA so I know the date of filing, but I do not remember where I mailed the form to. So, what do I put in the "city or town"? Is it my Massachusetts address or USCIS's St Albans, VT address or any other address? And for "result" what do I write? Can I write "Withdrew the I-751 form"?

I would really appreciate any help/inputs.

Thank You.
