My wife on a tourist visa. We are almost ready to submit her documents to adjust status. We plan to submit forms 485. I130 , I131 , and I785. On one of the form it asked if she had submitted to us government a petition before. The answer is yes her mom did 7 yrs ago and she would of probably had a interview at us embassy Guatemala in June or July this year but we decided to get married since we knew what we wanted.

Ok our lawyer is advising us to answer no on the forms because it will slow the process and make it much longer . She said they would require all the old forms. She said better to answer no since the departments are totally seperste and work seperately . She gave us examples where someone got married adjusted status and then got emails yrs later from their original petition for interviews etc and happens often.she said if she is asked then just blame on her and say we didn't notice she checked no. I am thinking to check no and do if asked blame on our lawyer and say we didn't notice it but be honest if asked . What do you think ?

I think your lawyer is telling you to lie which risks a lifetime unwaiverable ban.

There is no harm in telling that truth, it will not hurt you in the slightest. And your lawyer is also wrong, both petitions are lodged with uscis which is the exact same agency.

Answer yes and get a new lawyer.

The mom's petition for a daughter will not affect nor be needed in any way for your filing. They will not ask for copies of Mom's petition as it is already in their system. By lying you will be raising huge red flags on your case which could result in a life-time ban.
