I'm filling out the DS-260 for my current immigrant visa case based on the approved I-130.
Previously, a different U.S. citizen filed a K-1 fiancé visa petition (Form I-129F) for me. It was approved by USCIS, sent to NVC, but I never submitted the DS-160, and the case eventually expired due to inaction.
The DS-260 asks: "Has anyone ever filed an immigrant visa petition on your behalf?" (or similar wording about immigrant petitions).
Since the K-1 involved Form I-129F (a nonimmigrant petition), not an I-130 or other immigrant petition, I believe the answer is "Yes" only for the current I-130, and I do not need to disclose the prior K-1 as a previous "immigrant visa petition." On DS 260.
However, there are other sections on prior U.S. visa applications, petitions, or immigration history where the K-1 might need to be mentioned.
Note : on current I 130 for question Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary .i answer yes to that question because the wording was not asking about non immigration or immigration but on DS 260 question wording is way different (Has anyone ever filed an immigration visa petition on your behalf)now I am confused on this question
Thank you for your guidance.
Best regards,
