K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetter and Proof of Meeting

A question relating to this, when writing my letter, should I mention multiple times we've see each other in the 2 year time period? Or should I just focus on one (the first one)?



You can probably focus on the first time you met in the evidence of meeting section, then mention the multiple times you've seen each other in the proof of relationship section. IMHO, it's better to overload them with information than to not send enough.

Sorry, I didn't see that someone already addressed the date issue. It was too early for my brain to function -_-

Anyway, what are you including for proof of relationship? I think I would throw the engangement ring receipt in there.

What are the odds of that happening? Most of us DON'T have criminal records and I feel like this law is making us feel as though we're all criminals, unless we prove otherwise.

And since when does the goverment give a ####### about immigrants?

IMBRA Special TopicsREASON FOR IMBRA ???
What about American brides? There is no such law for americans marrying americans. What if married my ex boyfriend from college and he ended up murdering me because I broke up with him? I also would have never known he had a criminal record. You can't exactly do a google search on someone's background.
Maybe they should create this law for EVERYONE.
I don't think this is about protecting foreigners at all. This is just another way to make it even harder for people to come to the US.

IMBRA Special TopicsJust sent my RFE back to Vermont

well at least we can now see why it took them so long to come up with this, its such a substantial piece of work!!!!!

And I am sure that question 1 could be answered by some peoples original petitions, for example myself and my fiance met in person in las vegas while I was on holiday and this was stated in the original petition.

Also what is to stop the petitioner from lying about any possible convictions and if they are going to check up on the information it begs the question why didn't they just check in the first place without holding everything up for months on end

/rant over


OR, maybe if they could have made the forms IMBRA compliant on March, instead of June. I think there's a greater chance for pigs to fly than for the USCIS to do things the fast and logical way :P

IMBRA Special TopicsHOW DO I RESPOND "IMBRA" QUESTION?



Hello all !!!

How do i respond to the question "if i met through a international broker"?
I met my fiance on Mate1 which is a online dating thing. I had to pay to sign up
but do i answer yes to that question? Thanks for your help.


Just because you paid doesn't necessarily mean it is considered a marriage broker. What is the purpose of the website? That also comes into play


I really do need more input on this question....seems like a very important one.
At this point all i am seeing is just speculations as to the proper answer. What if
we answer "no" and it because a problem? What is really the correct response.
Mate1 does charge a fee to men for signing up...is this really considered a IMBRA
. More Input PLEASE. I am sure many are in the same boat....what response did u
give?


Just because you paid for your membership doesn't necessarily mean they're considered a marriage broker. You should probably contact USCIS, they can probably answer your question better than all of us.

IMBRA Special TopicsBad news from Senator regarding NOA 2's from Vermont

I just received a call from Senator Specter's (PA) office. I was told that petitions that have already been approved (NOA's) and sent to the embassy and had to be recalled are being processed last... I guess everyone already knows this already, but its good to find out something. Even though it means those who submitted in March are being screwed over while they process more recently received petitions. Appartently they are sending the RFE's to all peitions that have NOT been previously sent overseas first, before moving on to people that actually were approved. (Where is there any logic in that!???)

I know people have been receiving differnt things from congressmen and senator's, so hopefully this may not be 100% correct either. Either way, my wedding is trashed, and yet more money down the drain.. Thank's USCIS and thank you Congress for screwing us over and over!



Does that mean they're starting those with NOA2s from scratch?? I'm so sorry :crying: I feel really guilty for some reason.

Big Boss,

Gomez sent his application in May 23rd, and recieved NOA1 on June 6, you mailed your application by byt looks of your timeline on June 5, so I am sure you will get your RFE maybe next week with any luck.



Hmm, I think Big Boss is right. According to his timeline, his NOA1 was received on June 10. His package was received on June 6. I'm glad I'm not alone on this though!

probably a little off topic, but I noticed that we applied on the same date. Have you received your NOA1 yet? Or has your check been cashed?

seldiFemaleArgentina2006-06-29 12:14:00
IMBRA Special TopicsMessage from ScottishHighlands

Let's face it: IMBRA2005 does not have a boyfriend or fiance who might be affected by IMBRA.

She is here to lobby her cause which is the acceptance of IMBRA by those who want visas.

I suspect that she is with the TJC which got the law written and passed.

There is no problem with her being here to lobby her views. There is a problem if she is creating extra identities for herself.

Meanwhile, the half dozen guys at another IMBRA forum do have a right to come here and argue with her.

Ms. Miller (AKA IMBRA2005) has been using the VisaJourney forum to personally insult those who disagree with the IMBRA law and wish to launch lawsuits against it.

She is using the weak debating strategy of not dealing with the issues and just trying to whip up "everyone here thinks you are wrong"...when she doesn't even have a foreign boyfriend or fiance.

The men and women at GaryBala.com, who are also trying to get foreigners into the USA, almost have more of a right to come give their views on this forum than a member of the organization that wrote IMBRA.

I am about to propose to a Russian woman. I just found this website. I have as much moral right to post at VisaJourney as someone who has been here for two months. So do the 4 or 5 friends I know from GaryBala.com.

This thread only shows that IMBRA2005 is a professional who is perusing the anti-IMBRA blogs.

IMBRA2005 has a mission to influence VisaJourney.com members despite her not having a fiance or foreign boyfriend herself.

Hi, I’ve been touched four times (6/24, 6/29, 6/30, and 7/3) from the date of my NAO1. Is there anyway I might receive my NOA2 without getting an IMBRA RFE. I’ve noticed most ppl with similar dates as me have already received it.

I’m leaving tomorrow to spend the summer w/ the love of my life. Anything I can do to find out what these touches are?

I think what they're doing is ridiculous. I do not understand why it was so difficult to update form I-129F BEFORE the IBMRA law went into effect. The law wasn't approved on March 5th, didn't they have enough time to get the forms updated? We are talking about 3 questions here!!! Sigh.

I feel so bad for those of you with recalled petitions. I think it's completely outragous that they're basically "taking back" their approval.

It's like stealing candy from a kid.

And also, just because those of us who are only in the NOA1 stages are already getting the RFEs does not mean we're ahead. Who knows what's gonna happen to us. Maybe our petitions will sit idle for months until they take care of EVERYONE.

Oh well. Life aint fair. :(
