Yes, they are referring to an I-130. I answered yes and under "Who" I wrote "I-130 for CR1 pending, Spouse"

The DS-156 is a visa application. It is filled out by a foreigner. If that foreigner is applying for a K3 visa, then their spouse has filed an I-130 Immigrant visa petition in their behalf. For a K1 applicant, the answer would be no. For perhaps all other cases where the DS-156 would be used, the answer would be no. The OP is a K3 applicant, as was my wife.

Somebody posted a link to an example filled out DS-156. The example shows the NO box checked. There wouldn't be a YES box if it were not applicable in some circumstance. It is applicable for K3 visa applicants.
