Packet 3 received, DS-156 question

[eternal37 0]

Just a quick question that I hope some of you can help me with. My fiancee in Taiwan has received the first package (3) from the AIT stating that she needs to fill out DS-230, DS-156K, and DS-156. I looked at the example form provided here and it makes it a little more confusing. Question 36 asks if someone has ever filed a visa petition on your behalf, and the answer is no. Shouldn't it be yes, since someone IS filing a K-1 visa petition for the person? This is confusing, is it a typo or does my fiancee really have to put NO even though I'm filing the petition on her behalf? Thanks for your help everyone.

Here's the link to that example I'm talking about...

I put yes, and put my finacees name in the box.. seen as YES someone had filed a petiton on my behalf.

I dont know if this is correct but i am sure many get confused over this question so i am sure they will expect both yes and no answers.

I assume you are asking about Question#36.

The answer is: NO

Beacuse it asks about an immigrant visa petition.

K-1 isn't an immigrant visa. It's somewhat a dual-intent visa, but it's classified as non-immigrant for all purposes. Thus the answer is NO.

Well I'm not to this point yet but I did find this. And now I am a bit confused as well!

"A Fiancé(e) Is Also an Immigrant

Because a fiancé(e) visa permits the holder to immigrate to the U.S. and marry an American citizen shortly after arrival in the United States, the fiancé(e) must meet some of the requirements of an immigrant visa."

The K-1/K-2 is a NON-immigrant visa. The K-3/K-4 is an immigrant visa. Note the words..."must meet SOME of the requirements of an immigrant visa." These types are somewhat similar but not the same.

Okay so just to clarify, question 36 would be NO because the finace visa that I apply for is NOT an immigrant visa but a NON immigrant? Just want to be sure

At Vancouver, Canada, last April, for the DS-156, Question 36, I put "No". Worked fine for me.
