I have dual applications for EB-5 and H1B. My EB-5”s I-526 has been approved and I applied for I-485, which has been pending for years. Currently I got my H1B visa approved. In this case, when I fill out the DS-160 “Has anyone ever filed an immigrant petition on your behalf with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services?” I assume I should say “yes”, but which number should I write down here, I -526 approval or I-485 receipt?

Immigration AttorneysDisclose the date and place of filing I-526 filed on X date; I-485 adjustment filed on Y date at ABC centner. No problem for H-1B.

Immigration AttorneysAlways answer honestly. They know already after all. It is fine to list both.
