Oh boy! There are as many statements from the USCIS as there are colors in the rainbow!! I think they have NO IDEA what is really gonna happen and what they tell you depends on who you talk to. I wish they would get their act together!!

Thanks Neya for helping me out here! Looks like you got the hang of it!
I am SO looking forward to my trip starting friday morning. I am hoping that something happens while I am gone!
The backlog at the service centers has to me mindbogeling! They are gonna have to build new warehouses to put all these petitions that are just sitting there! God please help them get their act together soon. I am this close (fingers held one millimeter apart) to just staying in the philippines and finding work there! If I only could!!!!

My opinion (and its only MY opinion) is that they are slipping behind at an amazing pace. They will do something quickly or they will be in a world of hurt with a quicksand of new paperwork that needs to be done. I think we will see some action soon. And I also think they will make it as easy as possible to make it happen as quickly as possible. It won't be long and we will have something to fill out and send in.

Are you serious? He had a NOA1 after March 6th, with a touch 2 days ago? That´s good news, or at least I hope it is. Was he still waiting for a NOA2?

He had a NOA1 april 28 I think. No NOA2 yet. I agree it's a sign of life. Or it could be nothing. Lets see if more touches happen this week.
Look at us. Salivating over a touch!! See what our government has done to us????

Ok, so this will be the official topic, right?

Well, I´m off from tomorrow to saturday night.
Hopefully I´ll find good news when I come back.

Seems that the Captian wants all IMBRA talk to be done here. I am glad he moved us back to the K1 discussion forum. Felt a little left out down below.

Maybe it would be helpful to send emails to the proud sponsors of IMBRA:

Senator Maria Cantwell - D - WA
Senator Sam Brownback - R - KS
Representative Rick Larsen - D - WA
Representative Frank Wolf - R - VA

Funny, but in the IMBRA law it says that the law does not authorize additional checks.


Hello Gary,

Thanks for adding Rosana and me to you list. Is there anything I can do that would help us all? I want to personally thank you for all you are doing. I hope you have a wonderful trip. I myself am going to see Rosana and Lais from 6/2 till 6/11. Please keep up the good work and let me know what you need to help us.

Best Regards,
Luke, Rosana & Lais

If your interested in updating the site for a few weeks it would help. I doubt if I will have the time or the inclination to do it while I am on my trip. PM me if you want.

Well, I sent this letter to both my Senators and my congressman:

Dear Senator Durbin,
I would like to ask you for some help. I am in the process of bringing my fiancé from the Philippines via a K-1 visa. Congress passed a new law in January called the “International Marriage Broker Regulation Act” or IMBRA.
This law has caused all of us trying to get our loved ones into this country a lot of problems. Even though I did not meet my fiancé though a marriage broker our petition has been held up along with everyone else’s petition until the DHS figures out how to implement it. It seems that the DHS did not plan ahead for this law which went into effect on March 6 2006. They did not update the forms that we were to use and as a consequence everyone that filed after that date has had a hold put on the petition. Some poor people that used the Vermont Service Center had their petitions erroneously approved, sent to the embassy of the fiancé and had a scheduled interview only to have their petitions pulled back to the service center for “further checks”. For the rest of us the process has come to a standstill. No approved petitions have come from the other Service Centers in a long time. We have been trying to call our respective Service Centers to get information but all we get is confusing double talk.
My petition is going through the Nebraska Service Center. Can you please find out what is going on? We have no information to go on. Please find out:
1. Will we get a RFE (return for evidence)?
2. How long will it take to get the process back on track?
3. When will they update the forms so any new petitioners don’t have this wait?

I realize that whoever started this bill had the best of intentions but I feel like we (American men who want to get our foreign fiancé’s here with us) are being treated like criminals until we prove otherwise. These checks are not needed if I were to marry an American woman, why should I have to endure it because I fell in love with a Philippina?

We are also being subjected to an inordinate delay because someone at the DHS didn’t plan ahead. We are law abiding people that are going by the book when it comes to the immigration laws. But we are being stepped on by some in congress that on the one hand are giving the illegals a free ride and on the other hand making it harder for us that are following the law. Please help us!

I have a forum that I belong to for people trying to get our alien loved ones into the country. I invite you to come in and see the heartache that this law has caused.
http://www.visajourn...hp?showforum=80
That is the forum for the K1 visas. You will find several threads for IMBRA there.
If you’re interested my ID on that forum is GaryC.
Thank you for any help you can give us.
Yours truly,
Gary Cornelius

I don't know how much good it will do but at least it's something.
I do have some comfort knowing that Nebraska isn't dealing with returned petitions. When they start again mine will be towards the top of the pile.

Ok guys, lets all take a deep breath here. First of all I recomend everyone sending a letter to their senators and congressmen. Second, calling USCIS or DHS obviously does no good. No one there seems to know what is going on. Contacting your local news stations may get you a mention on the 6 oclock news but I don't see how that will help. This is just one of those things that is out of our hands. We are all in the same boat here. Lets just sit back and see how it works out. Bouncing off the walls may make you feel better now but does nothing constructive.
The only thing I can see that will get us anywhere is through our elected officials. That is what they are there for. They made this stupid law and they are the only ones that can fix it.

Thats a good email but it was sent to the wrong place. The NVC has nothing to do with all this. They just are a go between for the embassies and the USCIS. That email should be directed at the uscis or the DHS.

How in the world do you get to a human on the USCIS phone?


:lol: I just pretend like I have a rotary phone, listen to the spanish messages for 10 min, then I get transfered to a spanish speaking operator and tell them I need english and get helped everytime. :lol: I gave up trying to figure it out by pressing numbers. :star:

I finally got through. To bad I wasted 30 minutes of my life. The nice lady I talked to didn't seem to know much about it. She went to talk to her supervisor and came back and read something off of a paper to me that had nothing to do with IMBRA. I asked her about wether we would be getting RFE for our criminal backround check or not and she said something about "fingerprinting". I doubt if she really knew what she was talking about.
GaryCMalePhilippines2006-05-24 12:54:00
IMBRA Special TopicsLets collect some information about IMBRA effects

As we are aware, there are a few cases getting approvals thru Nebraska these last few days. SO have they figured out this new law, and implemented the necessary steps to abide by the new law? IF so we have not heard from any of them saying they received and RFE's, so maybe they are just doing the checks, without any paperwork on our part. I wish some of them would let us know.

I think you will find that those cases have NOA1's before March 6. If you know of one after that PLEASE TELL US!

There, I cleaned that up a little for you. I went by what you had in your timeline. I know your petition gets forwarded to CSC but I wanted to distiguish between the TSC and the CSC so I keep them separated.
If anyone wants me to add them please just give your info. I keep a backup from the last update and I get screwed up if I don't use that.

Ok, I removed anyone that had NOA1's before March 6 and the K3's. You lucky people are not going through this hell with the rest of us. Speedy journey to your visa's!

According to the memo there are 1100 petitions that need to be returned. If Vermont has ANY common sense (I know, thats a big if) they will put people on overtime to send them back. The rest of the service centers are hopefully getting procedures in place to do the extra checks. Time will tell.

Yeah, I just checked Nebraska. They moved theirs to Feb 22. The fact that they moved it is hopeful that they will start again.
"Hope springs eternal"
Since we now know that K3's and petitions before March 5 will not be impacted the next time I update the list I will eliminate those lucky ones that will not be delayed. The rest of us will just have to sweat it out.

I just got this email from my lawyer. I emailed him the DHS memo and asked him about the RFE's that may be coming. This is what he said:

If I understand this right EVERYONE that has a NOA1 after March 5 will get returned. :(
Only if your visa has been issued will you escape the return and RFE.

For whatever it's worth, IMBRA doesn't just include couples who have met by virtue of a marriage broker. Or those petitioners with a criminal past. It also speaks to multiple petition filings. SO.....USCIS is going to have to check EVERY petitioner to see if they have filed a K1 in the recent past....


Yeah, your right. I wonder if someone that has had say, 3 prior filings before this law went into effect, would they be denied? Doesn't seem fair if they do since it would have happend before this law was made. I had one prior k1 visa petition but that was more than 2 years ago and I withdrew it before the visa was issued. I will prolly end up on the multi filing list but since it was more than 2 years ago it will not affect this petition.


Well Gary I can't and won't quote how the law is written regarding the multi filings - you know how I feel about that - LOL!

I only broght it up to remind everyone here - who are rightfully concerned about the slowdown - that this is the one aspect of IMBRA which IMHO will add an additional step to the process. I know that's probably no consolation, but I think it takes the mystery out of it for those who did not meet through a marriage broker or who don't have a record.

Hehe, Your right there. I will only wonder and guess but will no longer try to interpet the law! Don't want this thread nuked!!!!!

I will try to update the list a little later on, I'm at work now and it may be a few hours till I get a chance to get to it.

SO.....USCIS is going to have to check EVERY petitioner to see if they have filed a K1 in the recent past....

I'm sure as hell no expert on this but I firmly believe that the check for multiple filings is why petitions are being recalled.

And I would like to further add that there is a little trend in AOS that I see.....there are several of us who interviewed recently that have no green cards yet because of background checks that are not complete. I have no idea if this is IMBRA related but I would not be terribly surprised to learn that.

Ok, that clears things up now. You need to update your timeline. Put April 20 as your NOA2 date and May 5 as the date the NVC got your petition. You can call the NVC to get a new case number and the date it was sent to your embassy. Don't know that number but I am sure there are people here that do.

I am so sorry Gary, I still get very confused with these dates! What is an RFE? The docs that I have here state the following:
I-797, Notice of Action
Receipt Date: Feb, 2 2006
Notice Date: April, 17

Then Rog got another one, with the RDJ Case Number, dated May 5.
Does that make more sense now?! I´m so sorry for being so lame with documents! I HATE IT!!! HATE IT! :wacko:



Artemis ...... K1.............Brazil........NSC.........4/20..............5/5
No package received, no calls, no e-mails. No interview date. Starting to get very concerned. I don´t even know if the Embassy in Rio has my case...I´m calling them tomorrow and I´ll let you know what info they will give me. Hope this helps. It´s very disturbing for all of us with our lives on hold. I have to give notice at work (I´m a College professor here) and winter vacation starts in July, ends in August. We were hoping I would be in the US BEFORE August starts... Not to mention the longing... terrible.
Anybody from Brazil who would like to share the experience, feel free to PM me.
Thank you for the amazing work you all do here.

I got quite a start when I saw your message. You have here a NOA1 of April 20 and a NOA2 of May5 from Nebraska. If that were true you would be the only one from Nebraska with a NOA2 after March 6. But then I looked at your timeline and saw that your NOA1 is in Feb and your RFE is in april. :lol:

Did you get an approval notice? A paper that said your case has been approved?
You can go to https://egov.immigra.../jsps/index.jsp and put your LIN number in there to see if your case has been approved and the date it was approved.

Well, any NOA2 they issue from now on will be past the IMBRA checks, right? I mean, let´s hope they´re not gonna screw up anymore.

I hope to God yes!! I just don't know on what day they finally got their act together.

Well, my optimism was unfounded. You can add me to the chart: NOA1: 4/10; NOA2: 4/18; Packet 3 recieved: 5/16; Letter recalling approval received: 5/19.

I'm sorry to see that. It seems that anyone getting a NOA2 from Vermont after March 6 will get a recall. I hope things go quickly with the aditional checks.

I talked to my lawyer today. He said he had one petition returned from an emabassy but NO RFE's for the IMBRA law. It seems that all they are doing is more checks. Hopefully things will get back on track soon. It's a real bummer that Nebraska has done NOTHING for people with NOA1's after March 6. I will be very glad when I see the first one.

Yeah and thanks again from me Gary. I have my interview scheduled 30th May. Man Sydney is quick. I think I will be OK though as our petition was posted so much earlier than the 6th of March. But then so was Palak. May help eventually with Y'all statistics though.

Good to see as yet no more cancellations but sorry things do seem to have slowed down in the NOA2 department.

Stella.

Good luck at your interview!
Will all of you on my list please keep us informed about any touches, NOA2's, returns and interviews? The more complete the database the better we can get an idea of the progress the SC's are making.
Thank you and good luck everyone!!
