DS-156 - question

[cyberfugue 0]

I'm working on the DS-156 for my wife and stepson. I have a question about #36 on the form - 36. Has Anyone Ever Filed an Immigrant Visa Petition on Your Behalf?

Does this mean anyone before me? I am the first to file for them, so would I answer 'yes' and put my name, or 'no'?

Thanks in advance for your help.

The DS -156 is to be filled out by the beneficary so you would answer the questions from their perspective.

I think the answer should be NO

I'm filling it out for them with their info. At the end of the form, I'm putting my name and info in the fields with the question 'Was this application prepared by another person on your behalf?'

I think the answer should be NO

That's what I would have guessed, but my lawyer's paralegal who has worked with me on these says I should say yes and put my name. But that doesn't make sense to me.

If anyone else knows for sure, I'd appreciate some insight.
