HELP: How to answer to this question in Form I-130?

[PHL001 0]

Hello,

When I was trying to fill out the Form I-130 (see attached) for my current wife. I don't know how to answer the following questions. Could you help me please?

D. Other information

1. If separate petitions are also being submitted for other relatives, give names of each and relationship.

My questions: does the "petitions" here only stand for the I-130 petition or any applications for immigration (i.e., I-140, I-485)? As I am only applying my current wife via I-130 for green card, should my answer be "NO" to this questions? [please refer to my background and current status below]

2. Have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien?

if "Yes,", give name, place and date of filing and result.

Below is my background and current status:

Previous marriage:

I lived in USA with my valid H-1B1 working visa and my ex-wife had H-4 as spouse in USA several years ago. Then I filed the I-140 and I-485 for both me and ex-my wife for green card application and our green cards were approved by USCIS in 2010. After that, I divorced with my ex-wife.

Current marriage:

Now I am having new marriage with my current wife. My current wife's status is H-1B1 working visa in USA, and my current status is green card holder (permanent resident) in USA.

Hi!

This question in I-130 is about petitions you file alongside with the current document. So if you apply only your wife, then then the answer should be NO.

2. Have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien?

if "Yes,", give name, place and date of filing and result.

This one is a little bit tougher. To be 100% sure you might want to contact USCIS, but I believe you should answer YES and provide information for both I-140 and I-485 you filed for your ex-wife.

As I read somewhere on immigration forums, the purpose of this question may be to check if you are "serial marrier" who helps people to get immigration status for money.

Anyway, even if they don't care and if they are just asking about I-130, I think the fact that you have provided information about other previous petitions should not be a problem.

If you have not submitted i 130 for anyone earlier and not submitting i130 for anyone except the one you are now submitting for your wife, answer to all questions is "NO"
