I don’t have access to any verified “latest news” or breaking updates specifically about the question “Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)?”—it’s not really a news topic; it’s a form question that comes up in US immigration paperwork (commonly on the DS-160).
What the question generally means
- If USCIS has received any immigrant petition filed for you (for example, a case that leads to a green card process), you typically answer “Yes.”
- If no immigrant petition has ever been filed for you with USCIS, answer “No.”[2]
Common clarifications (important)
- An immigrant petition (in the USCIS sense) usually refers to filings that are part of immigrant visa/green card processing (for example, forms like I-130 or I-140, depending on your situation).
- Things like a PERM are handled by the Department of Labor, not USCIS—so they may not count as “filed with USCIS.”[2]
- If you’re unsure, look for USCIS receipt notices (I-797), approval notices, or attorney/employer filings that explicitly show a USCIS petition.
Best next step
If you tell me which form you’re filling out (e.g., DS-160) and what USCIS filing you/your employer/family may have made (I-130, I-140, NIW, etc.), I can help you decide whether the correct answer is “Yes” or “No” for your specific scenario.
(For now: general guidance on how to answer this exact DS-160-style question is discussed here.)[2]

malachovskylaw.comHello Anil I am currently filling up the DS-160 for my H1B re-stamping. My employer is currently processing my green card and I have received approved I-140.
