I-130 Q.16 - What category am I?
I am currently waiting for my AOS appointment in the US after filing to adjust from a K1 visa last year. I have instead decided to file at the Sydney consulate for a spouse visa that I have been told will negate the application in the US.
My spouse is completing the I-130 for us to proceed with direct consular filing. Question 16 asks: Has your relative ever been under immigration proceedings? It asks Yes or No? And Where and When? It also lists whether it was Removal,
Exclusion/ Deportation, Recission or Judicial Proceedings?
Firstly, am I considered to have been 'Under Immigration Proceedings' even though the K1 visa is classed as non-immigrant and I never actually got to the first interview stage with my AOS application?
If yes, then which of the categories applies to me? Is it recision even though I have not formally cancelled my AOS application and the BCIS did not formally rescinder the application? Or do I leave the category area blank?
Thanks for your help.

This does not apply to you. Proceedings means that you have been
officially accused by immigration dept or state dept of doing something
wrong and/or are being called up before an immigration judge for it.
Relax. Answer no.

Thanks for your response. 'No' is definitely the preferable answer!

You answer the question. If you were ever before an Immigration Judge -- you answer "yes" and say whether it was "deportation", "exclusion", "rescission" or "removal" -- If you were able to get a K-1 in the recent past, it indicates that any proceedings were resolved in such a way as to not be an impediment.
If you were never in such proceedings, just check "no."
