I-485 Edition 10/24/2024 Part 4 Question 5 Previously Applied for Permanent Residence IN United States

[Jayne 6]

In 2011 My mother filed an I-130 on my behalf as the unmarried child of an lpr. When she began the petition she listed my address as hers as we were living together at the time. We received a notice in 2013 that the petition had been approved but I was not eligible to file AOS and the file was being sent to NVC for consular processing. In 2017 the approved visa was received. An interview was finally available in 2019 however by that time my mother no longer met the requirements for the affidavit of support and abandoned the application. So in part 4 of my current AOS (which my USC husband and I are filing concurrently with the I-130) do I answer yes or no to the question 1- "have you ever applied for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Embassy or consulate abroad?" My mother applied for me and we did not make it to the next stage. 2-"Have you ever applied for permanent residence WHILE in the United States?". The original petition had the U.S. address I was living at on it. Thank you for persevering with this wordy question and thank you in advance for any input.

If you have ever submitted a DS-260, #1 is "Yes".

If you have ever submitted an I-485, #2 is "Yes".

Otherwise, the answers are "No".

I don't think it got that far but unfortunately I only have some of the paperwork from that time. My mother sadly suffers from dementia and wouldn't be able to tell me. It's probably safe to say no.

A DS-260 would have been filed, by you, at the NVC stage.  Sounds like it never got that far.

An I-485 would have been done by you inside the US.  Sounds like you never did that, either.

Thank you for the clarification. I filed neither. It's a definite no. Thanks!
