I-134 - Interpretation of question #10

[donmerlin 0]

Hi All,

I'm filling out the I-134, and I'm not feeling confident that I'm interpreting question 10 correctly. I will list questions 9 and 10:

9. I have previously submitted affidavit(s) of support for the following person(s). If none, state none.

10. I have submitted a visa petition(s) to USCIS on behalf of the following person(s). If none, state none.

Taking question 10 at face value, my first inclination is to enter the name of my fiancee who I have submitted a petition for. But given that it's following question 9, and question 9 is referring to "previously" submitted forms, I'm now unsure whether question 10 is also referring to "previously" submitted petitions (even though it does not say "previously"). Logic dictates that I should just take it at face value and enter the name of my fiancee, but if the intention of this question is to see if I have done previous petitions, then entering a name might be a bad thing. I figured enough of you have already filled out this form, so perhaps you can give me a scoop on the correct interpretation.

If you answer based on the premise that you include any previous petitions filed on or before the date of the signing of the affidavit... your answer becomes much clearer.

So, in other words, I should include the petition I have filed for this case.

I received an opposite response in the CFL forums, but they didn't sound for sure. I was hoping to hear from the countless hordes who have already completed the form... successfully. (i.e., how did you response to this question?)
