have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien? I-130. Question 2 in section D

[sidou 0]

"have you ever before filed a petition for this or any other alien". How should I answer this: YES or No. I filed i-129 before for my fiancée. She was denied because lack of face to face meeting including photos. Even though, we both provided hardship statements and we explained why we couldn't provide photos, but didn't help. So I traveled back home and we got married. I'm applying for petition i-130. Should answer yes or no for the question on section D? If I answer yes, what to write exactly? Any help is very appreciated. Thanks

Yes.

Hi Hypnos. Can you please tell me more details how to answer?

Yes, since it says ''this or any other alien'' and you did petition before. I went through a previous CR-1 and I disclosed it in my current CR-1 process even if I never received my green card (canceled right after NOA2) The lady at the embassy knew I had a previous process even if I didn't go through it, they have that on file. It's best to be completely honest and always tell the truth, don't hide anything, since it can, and most likely will harm your chances. 

Good luck!

Hi Dilorena. Thanks a lot for this answer. After checking yes, should I write for example i-129F for wife's name then location where she had interview then result of the interview??? Is this correct?

yes, that seems sufficient.   expect the possibility of being asked about it later on. Also since the problem was lack of time spent together, it is important that you guys work on fixing that: spending more time together. I know it can be expensive, but it's helpful: plane tickets (boarding passes not just bought tickets) pictures together (with family/friends in settings, not just of you two, and a variety of dates) tickets of expenses during said trip, etc. Ultimately we have to prove that our relationship is bonafide, and changing the issue that caused the first denial is very helpful.

Yes and write the petition name, where it was filed and result. Petition was approved, visa application was not.
