I am going to file an I-130 soon for my wife (remarriage).  Then, I have a question about "Have you ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?"  

 

I filed I-485 for myself and for my ex-wife years ago before my naturalization, then, divorced.

I recently naturalized to the USA. 

I have not filed an I-130 after I got the US citizenship for anyone and this I-130 is the first one for my wife (remarriage).  

 

Should I answer the question, "Yes?" and list my ex-wife in the answer to the question?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Was your previous I-485 employment-based and your ex-wife a derivative beneficiary?

Yes, it was employment-based and my ex-wife was given a green card because of my petition.  So, she is a derivative beneficiary.

I-485 is an application, not a petition.

Do you mean I should say "no" to the question?  Because the question says, "Have you ever previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?"

Then you have NOT filed a petition for your wife before.
