Form I-130 Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?

I have an 0-1 visa. I just got married to an American citizen. Filling out form i-130, part 5: Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? My husband was the owner of a business that was my sponsor on my current O-1 visa. Is the answer Yes or No?

They are asking if he has ever petitioned as an individual not as a shareholder of a business.

I have had several O-1 visas only, just got married and am now applying as an alien Relative. In filling out form i-130, Part 4, #10: Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary? Do my previous O-1 visas count as a 'Petition'?

Yes, in order to receive an O-1 you need to have been petitioned for (I-129)

Thanks again, Payxibka!

The I-130 is for the petitioner (USC) to complete, not the beneficiary.

Your posts are confusing. Please do not start multiple threads asking essentially the same question or variations thereof. Also you are posting in the DCF section but your embassy is listed as Ireland, which doesn’t offer DCF. To keep the forums tidy and to keep your threads in the correct section, please let me know what your situation is. Are you in the US applying for adjustment of status from O-1 or are you outside the USA applying for a CR-1?
