urgent question for DS-160 form

USA B1/ B2 Visitor Visa
1

Hi,

I have an I-797 approved petition for Non-Immigration H1B visa received recently but have not got the H1B stamped yet.

Now I need to apply for a B1 visa from my current employer for a business meeting. There is a question in form DS-160 as below :

"Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services? " Yes/No

Please confirm what should be my response. The confusion is that I-797 is for a Non-Immigrant Petition while the question is for a Immigrant petition.

Please reply and help urgently.

Thanks,

Hello,

Your Answer for the Question

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

should be “NO”, As it clearly states about Filing a Petition under “IMMIGRANT” Category while your H1 B Petition comes Under “NON-IMMIGRANT” Category.

Hope Its Clear!
