I am not sure when you did that. Currently an approved labor
certification needs to be signed by the employee or employees
representative, so if you didn't sign it, it is unlikely to have been
filed. If the employer didn't file an I-140 with the USCIS, I would
interpret it as No.

The question is specifically for relatives living in the US. If the
child is not there, the answer is no. We belive the reason for this
queston is to determine you intention to stay in the US in violation
of your visa application.
