I am a U.S. Citizen and I am filling I-130 petition for my spouse. I married her in November 3, 2018.  Her mother who is also a US citizen filed a I-130 petition  to change her status from B2 visa to F1 in May 2015 then in  April, 2016 the petition was approved, in June, 2016 she receive a letter for the National Visa Center telling her  "A visa number is unaivalable and this petition is not elegible for further processing".  Now, I don't know how to answer the question  "Has anyone else ever filed a petition for the beneficiary?" in form I-130, in other word, I don't know if counts as a petition or not. Should I answer YES or NOT? I need help! Please. Thanks!

if you have never filed for someone before, just said NO.

The answer would be yes. Her mother filed an I-130 for her.

Any accepted petition counts - approved, withdrawn, denied, still pending, etc. Read the questions literally and answer honestly and you'll be fine.

"anyone else" is key here. Somebody else is known to have done so.
