I'm filling out the I-130 for my wife and I'm confused on what to answer for this question:
Reason being, my wife's mother had a petition filed by her USC sister. I have no idea what stage this petition this is at, and neither does my mother-in-law or her sister. Apparently it's been so long that they have no idea what they wrote and can't even find out where the form went.
Maybe they filed on paper and they didn't keep a copy. In said petition, I was told "most likely" that my wife was included as a dependent. Again, no clear answer, but it makes no sense to petition for your sister and not include their kids if they are eligible.
(Regardless it doesn't matter anymore since she aged out and also got married to me, so she doesn't qualify for that petition anyway.)
Another thing is my wife has a B1/B2 that was approved and issued back in October 2024. For this visa, I ended up re-submitting her DS-160 a year later her original application because all of her information changed due to the marriage.
On the DS-160, I answered that no, she did not have a petition submitted. If that "no" was a lie, I'd guess they would not issue the visa for misrepresentation unless they overlooked it.
I'm leaning towards "No", but I'm not sure if I would be better off answering Unknown.
Would answering as Unknown look bad on the application? Does it even matter? Or am I reading the question wrong?
Thanks in advance for the insight.
