Default Help with I-129 form - Dependents

My employer and I are working together to prepare the I-129 petition for the H1B visa. I have a question regarding 'Part 4 - processing information'

Question 5 asks 'Are applications for dependents being filed with this petition?'

My family will be coming with me if approved but I find this question a bit misleading, do I need to declare them on the form?

Or should I say none and apply for H4 through the consulate seperatley with the I797?

Cheers

If you and your family are already in the US, they will be filing for a change of status. In contrast, the petition will include your change of status.

We are all still in the UK, I know that once the h1b i129 form is approved then we all go to the consulate to get the visa's.

I'm just not 100% clear on if my employer needs to mention dependents on the I129 petition. I don't think they do but just wanted confirmation if anybody knew.
