To answer Question 11 “Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiancé(e) or husband/wife before?”

[JenT 0]

The answer would be yes. That question doesni only apply to fiancee visas, but for any immigration benefit that you have applied for a foreign national.

Dont remember where I read that...maybe on the State Dept site.

If you can find the link, we won't be discussing this until Sunday.

Andy,

Have you petitioned for anyone previously? I-129f or I-130? If so, answer yes.

How did your former wife get LPR status? What forms were submitted? Was an I-130 one of them?

To answer Question 11 "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiancé(e) or husband/wife before?"

My answer is "No", because I did not file for anyone under I129F.

But my story is: My wife (we divorce in the early this year) went to USA under F2 to join me (I was a student under F1 visa). Later on I filed for her for Green Card and Naturalization.

For the answer for Q 11, I should say "Yes"? I said "No", I will get another RFE?

Anyone has idea? Please help.

hahaha....

I stopped being the official looker-er-upper a long time ago. People should do their own research and answer their own questions...many here that can simply be answered by reading the instructions for the form.

Yanno...the old adage about giving a man a fish every day to eat or teaching him how to fish...Im the teacher.

Im sure he can find it....Ill bang my head against the wall and maybe recall where I saw it......start with the State Dept and GOOGLE.

That question doesn't apply to fiancee visas only, but to any immigration benefit you have applied for a foreign national.

That's how I read it too.

hahahaha....not until we have a flame war also.

Maybe a week from Sunday.

oooops...I forgot to add.

The purpose of the question is that the USCIS wants to know if you are already on the hook for a previous Aff. of Support that you may have filed.......Im slowly remembering.

Thank you for your opinions.

I did not file I-129F or I-130 before. If the question is specified for I-129F, the answer is “No”, but if for general purpose, the answer should be “Yes”. I put “No” in my original I-129F file. One week ago, I sent USCIS a letter to explain them that I filed for my ex-wife for her Green Card and Naturalization. Maybe I did wrong, I should not have sent the letter.

Have to chime in on desert fox's side here, I also read the same thing on State Dept site, cant find it now though. Also It does not ask you if you have filed a I-129F before, it asks if you have ever filed on behalf, etc.

USCIS will probably still have record of your previous petition, I would answer yes and include explanation on supplelmental page and sign that.

Well 20+ posts and it hasn't been hijacked yet... a new VJ record

[Yodrak 7]

andy_k1,

Again - you filed what for your ex-wife's to become an LPR? And she filed what?

Yodrak

... I filed for my ex-wife for her Green Card and Naturalization. Maybe I did wrong, I should not have sent the letter.

I would have waited to see whether an RFE was sent in that regard... not likely that the letter even caught up with your file though, so wait and see what happens. That's about all you can do at this point.

Answer Yodrak's question. He's getting impatient.

I did not file for bringing her to USA. She came to USA under F2 visa. Later we filed for adjusting status, such as H1/H4, green card and naturalization

[Yodrak 7]

andy_k1,

The question was, and still is, what forms did you file for her to get her LPR status. And what forms did she file. Specific form numbers. What forms did you put your signature on. And what forms did she put her signature on.

If an I-129f or I-130 visa petition was not among them, and it almost sounds as if one was not, then you can answer 'no' to Q11 on your I-129f. But if your letter to the USCIS was as vague and ambiguous as your posts in this thread then you should hope that the USCIS is as inept as the anecdotal evidence indicates it is in matching up post-submittal information with the case file.

Yodrak:

The file number I filed for her is I-485. Thank you very much.

For now I just wait. If I have any problems or get RFE, I will ask you guys for help.

[JenT 0]

Then you didn't sponsor a foreigner to enter the US... you should be fine.

For the future, it's really futile to send 'follow up letters' without official requests for same... I haven't heard of any examples where the follow up letters actually reached the main case file when submitted independent of an RFE... but then, I'm not active on every forum here....

Best wishes - Jen
