Was the beneficiary EVER in immigration proceedings?

[mwert 6]

Hi,

 

so I am filing I-130 for my mom.

My mom's husband (not my dad) won a DV lottery several years ago. He applied for immigration visa based on that win, together with my mom. The DV-based immigration visa was denied in the consulate for both of them because he, the winner, was deemed inadmissible.

 

So when I am filing I-130 for my mom, should I say yes or no to "Was the beneficiary EVER in immigration proceedings?"

That would be no for your mother.

Both of them applied, but were denied. Even if they were denied, weren’t they considered to be in immigration proceedings?

Visa interview (resulting denial or issuance) at an embassy is not immigration proceedings.

Thank you for the clarification!
