DS160-Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf

[masdha]

Hi Guys

I have question in DS-160 form for my H1b visa stamping.

My employer applied by GC, Labor is approved and I-140 is in process, still not approved(got REF)

so what should I answer to below question

Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?

thanks

I-485 is immigrant petition. Not any other.

@mf1

I don't think so. Some one correct me but for form I140 it's title is actually "Immigrant Petition for an Alien Worker".

@masdha

I think you should mention that your employer filed your I140 and it is still in process. You don't have to spell out it is in RFE probably(?)

@wildcats is right. I had asked my attorneys what I should mention for this question. My I-140 had been approved. The attorney asked me to put the fact that "an i-140 based immigrant petition had been filed and approved via Ref #."

My attorney works for Fragomen.

Yes. I-140 is immigration petition.

I-485 is Adjustment of Status.

You should answer YES.

Wrong.

The I-130 and I-140 are the immigrant petitions. If one of these is filed, the question has to be answered with "yes".

I-485 is Adjustment of Status, something completely different. To get a GC, an I-485 isn't even needed, if the person does Consular Processing.

But the immigrant petition is needed.

My I-140 is approved. But I selected my answer "No". My application is already submitted.

How can I update my application?

 

Please advise.

If you had submitted your application then you can not. Make a new DS160.

Thank you jairichi for your quick response.

 

What happens to old DS-160? Do I need to do anything to cancel that?

Nope. If you had not paid fees and booked your appointment use the new DS160 number. If you had already done so then contact the agency that facilitates visa appointment and get it updated.

What did you to your DS-160 to make changes?

 

I did the same and also attended for biometrics. Can I still update the DS_160 form?

 

Your information will help me.

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

im in the same boat- i attended biometrics earlier today and my interview is tomorrow. I answered no to that question in my DS160 form in spite of my I140 being approved. What can i do?

Hello,

I  do have an approved I-140, probably intending to add the ref # of the petition. Also last year, my H1 transfer petition got approved by a new employer since I changed my decision I did not join them.

So do I need to mention about that petition or how do i approach the situation...

Need advise...
