I 130 Part 5 question, confused

[Zoubir2000 3]

Guys/Gals,

 

Can we please revive this question with slight change? I'm applying for both my parents at the same time (using two separate online I-130 forms, of course), now as I'm filing out Mom's application I came across the question: Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien? The logical answer should be NO, since this this the 1st time I file for anyone. However, as I'm also filling out the application for my Dad at the same time, I'll be submitting one application at a time (say Mom's first then 5 or 10 min later I will file Dad's), so technically on my Dad's application I should answer YES.

 

Please advise if that's correct or since this this 1st time I'm filing for both of them today( and never filed for anyone else), I should say NO on both applications?

 

Thank you!

 

P.S. I know I'm being to "picky" here, but I'm just trying to do the right thing...

Have you EVER previously filed a petition for this beneficiary or any other alien?

I answered "NO" in both of my parents 1-130 form.

Too late now as you were submitting several weeks ago, but I would say yes to the second one personally. If you take each question individually and literally I don’t see how it can be a no.
