So she obtained a K-1 visa (or interviewed but it was never issued?) and then you married abroad? If so, then the K-1 is no longer valid. You would need to file an I-130 and obtain a CR-1/IR-1 visa.

 

Or did she enter on the K-1 and then you married within 90 days? If so, she needs to do AOS instead. No I-130 needed.

If she entered on the K-1 and married after 90 days, then AOS w/ an I-130 is needed.

Gotcha, thanks.

 

Yes, you need to file an I-130 now. The answer to that would be yes. It refers to anybody.

I don't think this is critical either way, but the question is being asked of the petitioner, and so "anyone else" would exclude the petitioner and the answer would be no.  They will definitely know the petitioner has filed a petition for this beneficiary before.

Good point...

"read literally, answer truthfully" -> literally, it does say "anybody else". I misread it to say just "anybody". I stand corrected.

 

But yeah, the answer isn't going to impact the result.

Proceedings means basically has she ever gone to court for immigration reasons before a judge or immigration court, for example if they had been to court for removal proceedings (aka being deported). Her i129 being processed is not a court or judicial process, so no, unless she has been in court for deportation before

Please stop typing in ALL CAPS.  It is considered shouting but more importantly, it is more difficult to read.  The key to understanding these questions is to read them carefully, then interpret them literally, followed by answering accurately.  Apply that principle and you process will go more smoothly.
