I-130 "previously filed for any other alien?"

[fiftytwo05g 0]

I will be sponsoring my spouse through consulate process in Tokyo and I'm stuck on part 5 of the I-130.

 

I did petition my ex-wife more than 13 years ago via adjustment in the US, but I can hardly remember the filing date and where it was approved. 

 

What I can plug in for the dates filed and location?  

 

Also, would I need to plug in her maiden name as her family name, now that we have been divorced for many years? Or do they expect me to fill out names that we're used during that time period.

Thanks for the reply!

 

As far as the date filed, would I need to put the exact date the previous petition was approved? 

 

Because I can hardly remember the day, yet alone the month. This was more than 13 years ago, I never anticipated that I would have to go through this process again. Can this section be left blank or written as a close estimated date?

Best Estimated date is fine. USCIS already knows the exact date

if you can't put exact date, best to put closest date that you can remember. perhaps asked friends or family members. they might remember.
