H4 stamping, should I mentioned i140 details in DS160?

Current situation - Worked in US 7+ years, lost job. I am in India right now for stamping h4. My wife has a valid H1b. 

While I was working I filed for green card and my i140 is approved, should I mention that in my DS160 or should I leave it blank? I am wondering if that will cause any issues? 

Any help is much appreciated. 

Thanks.

If you do not mention a relevant fact you run a risk of a life times ban. It would be patently silly not to mention the I-140 approval where asked as H1/H4 are considered dual intent in any case and allow for Immigration.

Thanks for answer, I figured the same and added my i140 case number in DS160. Could you please elaborate on your dual intent comment?

Dual intent is what it implies.. a NIV that allows immigrant intent, unlike, say, a tourist/student visa which doesn't allow immigrant intent.
