Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf --DS160

[nallasivam]

Read the question clearly. The person has already filed I-140 which is a petition for immigration. If PERM alone was filed, then the answer can be NO. If I-140 is filed, then the answer should be YES.

When we answer 'Yes' to the question - 'has immigration petition been filed on your behalf", there is a explanation that is being asked for.
What is advisable to put in this?

I understand H1B is a dual intent visa. But is any possibility the filing of I-140 Immigration petition can affect the chances of getting the H1-B renewed?
Any thoughts on this would be helpful.

Thanks

As you said H1B is dual intent so the filing of I-140 is not a reason for rejecting the visa. Moreover you have to answer truthfully so if a 140 has been filed; you need to say so
