TN2 extension of status- question on I-129 form

Hello!

I am a new suer to this forum and I am seeking any and all help I can get! I am filling out an I-129 for an extension of status for a TN2 and am a bit stuck with the wording on a section of the form:

In part 4 page 4, under "Processing Information" on item 8 the application asks:
"Did you indicate you were filing a new petition in Part 2. ?"

In part 2 I said I was filing for:
option B: "Continuation of previously approved employment without change with the same employer."

And the requested action is to be: "Extend the status of a nonimmigrant classification based on a free trade agreement."

My question is, would this be considered a new petition or not?

I am confused because on item 9 in part 4 they application asks:
"Have you ever previously filed a nonimmigrant petition for this beneficiary?" which I said yes to since the employment will be with the same company for the same position and I have provided the explanation.

Any input will be greatly appreciated, thank you!
 
it is NOT a new petition. The explanation will be details of your previous I-129 (or border petition) with this sponsor.
