DS160 - immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship

[30rakesh]

Hi

I had applied for H1B in 2008 and application was picked in the lottery. But I didn't even
gone for VISA stamping and never travelled to USA.

I again applied for H1B in 2015 and my application was picked in the lottery and am applying for
DS-160 application form.

Can you please guide me whether I have to keep 'Yes' or 'No' for the below question.

"Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Services?"

Thanks
Rakesh

Answer should be NO. H1 is a non immigrant petition. A green card application for permanent worker is called an immigrant petition.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
