IMBRA Special TopicsHusband (i-130 peitioner) received biometrics appointment for himself (is it normal?)

Hi all thanks for your feedback and sharing. I now feel better that it's a procedure for AWA petitioners...My husband would go to the appointment on 4th Jan then. For me I already did mine on 23rd Oct and received EAD and SSN in November. My timeline is so long that it won't fit into the space provided by the Signature. Therefore I put it in the profile section. Apologies for the confusion.

The sudden cancellation of the interview and the biometrics notice for my husband just scared me a lot. We submitted paperwork I-485, I-130, I-765 in September and it's not until after 3 months that they finally arrange for my husband's (petitioner) biometrics to be done. It's gonna be a long AOS journey for me!



Hello cls0881,

I just registered in this site just now and I am still pretty new. Anyways, We have the same situation and almost at the same time too. You had your biometrics in october and mine too. You had an inetrview date on december 17 and mine too. You received a cancellation letter and then I-130 biometrics and same here. You said your husband's biometrics was january 4 which is yesterday, how was it? what did they do? did they ask them something or anything? My husband will have his biometrics on january 8 and the lawyer that I asked said that it may be an error so she recommend to get an infopass appoinment which I think I won't do coz of the very tight schedule. My husband is also an AWA petitioner. Please let me know. Thanks.

IMBRA Special TopicsRoute to go w Criminal Convictions ?

I also have a lawyer now who said my criminal record would have no effect on the spousal visa.  A k1 yes, a cr1 no. 

 

A record would matter but mine is nothing related to Adam Walsh Act so I am ok. 

 

Thanks for all of your responses. 

 

Good luck to you all. We are getting married in 2 weeks!

I would hope that it wouldn't be denied but I can't seem to find anyone who has convictions who has attached paperwork and an assault charge who's made it thru. I've been searching the heck out of these forums the last few days.

Thank you all for your info, I will hope someone with experience in this matter will post also.

IMBRA Special TopicsRoute to go w Criminal Convictions ?

Hello, 

 

I have disclosed everything to my fiance.  

 

My criminal history is bad.  I am waiting for my records to come back from different departments so I can see exactly how many convictions are on there.  

 

I have 2-3 drug related convictions (1 being a felony (11 years ago) where it shows I served 8 years but I went to a 4 month boot camp instead) and 1 assault conviction against a woman(she was punching me and I pushed her off of me) in which an order of protection was filed.  It was not *domestic* battery though.  

 

Wondering what route I should go with my foreign fiance.

 

K1, K3, IR1 or CR1?  

 

What is your opinion based on your experience?  And do you know of any experienced immigration attorneys?

 

Thank you so much.

IMBRA Special TopicsWaiver for 3rd K1 visa needed
Al,

 

I'm not an attorney, so this is just my opinion.  It seems that the core issue you are using to justify a third K1 is that the prior relationships both ended unexpectedly due to your fiancee(s) changing their minds.   Everything else is too much information that actually does not help your request.  Your proof is that both women never made it to the interview to complete the process.

 

Good luck

IMBRA Special TopicsHelp, I just found out I'm IMBRA!

Ok, So I just created a new account with afrointroductions.com.  I filled out the IMBRA information, donated $30 to them for the ability to contact my fiance.  And then sent her a message.  She logged back in, My Lawyer advised me that I log back into this website since it could be possible considered IMBRA and offer a Post Hoc written consent form to my fiance.  You know the question 35a thing: If you answered ?Yes,? provide the Internet and/or Street Address below. In additional, attach a copy of the signed, written consent form the IMB obtained from your beneficiary authorizing the release of your beneficiary's personal contact information to you.

 

Well she received nothing before receiving my message or nothing afterwards.  There was none of the IMBRA information I filled out even listed on my profile.  I was like whats the point of even having that in the profile?  So I sent them an angry tirade demanding they explain themselves!  Are they or aren't they IMBRA.

 

We will see if I ever hear back, I highly doubt it. From that experience I'm deciding to check no for IMBRA because it doesn't make any sense to anyone!  Even the lawyers I consulted today who gave me basically the same information Ebunluwa has been telling me all along, by the way thanks for the free legal consultation :)

Thanks everyone! Ebonuwula is convincing me to check no. And I can't answer 35a because afro intro never did this. If I file and afro intro is imbra will they deny me for checking no? The lawyer link said they will. I'm still so confused. This is completely insane. This is afro intros fault not mine. Im just learning about this now. how am I supposed to go back and do this after knowing each other for a year. this written consent by imb is really causing me a nightmare



35a. If you answered Yes, provide the Internet and/or Street Address below. In additional, attach a copy of the signed, written consent form the IMB obtained from your beneficiary authorizing the release of your beneficiary's personal contact information to you. If additional space is needed, attach a separate sheet of paper.

And this is the answer that is freaking me out!




QUOTE (1HappyGuy @ Jun 26 2009, 09:42 AM)
You should understand that IMBRA only applies to American based IMB's. If the IMB is foreign based, (e.g. from Colombia) they are not subject to IMBRA so they don't have to ask the questions. If you paid for the service, in most cases the USCIS will consider it an IMB. So, find out if the company is foreign based. If yes, state that in your application. If they are U.S.A. based, then you need to ask the website administators, what they consider themselves.

The IMBRA specifically allows for foreign based companies to be classified as IMB's.

IN GENERAL.The term international marriage
broker means a corporation, partnership, business, individual,
or other legal entity, whether or not organized
under any law of the United States
, that charges fees
for providing dating, matrimonial, matchmaking services,
or social referrals between United States citizens or
nationals or aliens lawfully admitted to the United States
as permanent residents and foreign national clients by
providing personal contact information or otherwise facilitating
communication between individuals.









The law goes on to make exceptions for non-profit cultural or religious organizations, or for organizations that offer the same services to everyone for the same fee, regardless of gender or nationality (i.e., not primarily directed at providing services to US citizens).

What's more, if the service is found to be an IMB under the legal definition, and if they did not comply with the requirements of the act and provide the foreign beneficiary with the required information about the US petitioner, then the introduction can be found to be illegal, and the petition can be denied, EVEN IF the IMB is located in a foreign country.

According to a 2008 report from the GAO regarding USCIS and DOS compliance with the IMBRA requirements, USCIS stated that they are planning on introducing a requirement that petitioners who used an IMB will have to submit a letter of certification from the IMB stating that the IMB has complied with the terms of the IMBRA. Also, the IMBRA requires foreign consulates to inquire about the use of an IMB at the interview stage, and whether the beneficiary has received the required information from the IMB, but the GAO report has found that consulates have NOT been routinely performing this required inquiry.

So in response: Yes, a foreign service is not bound by the IMBRA, and does not have to request the information. However, the US petitioner is still bound by US law. If the USC uses a foreign service that is not in compliance with the IMBRA, then their petition and visa MAY be approved, but only because neither USCIS or DOS are currently doing their required job of enforcing the act adequately. As USCIS and DOS begin performing their required jobs, you can expect to see a lot more petitions denied where online dating sites are involved.

This guy said my question better than me

Hi friends,

There has been little feedback on interview questions since the IMBRA date of March 6, 2006. It will be interesting to know:

1. If USC had answered YES to the marriage broker question on the I-129F petition, does the VO invariably ask the beneficiary if she had received background information on the USC from the marriage broker?

2. What happens if the broker did not supply the background information?

3. Does the VO contact the marriage broker to see if the broker had supplied background information to the beneficiary?

4. Does VO discuss the USC's background information with the beneficiary?

If anybody who has gone for interview and has some answers, it will be good for everyone to know. Thanks.

IMBRA Special TopicsHelp, I just found out I'm IMBRA!
Screen shots from IMBRA statement from afrointroductions. I paid for the service & it was free for women. Its not specific to USC & I believe it might be foreign based.

My question is? Is this illegal because I didn't exchange background check before saying hello? Thats my interpretation of this #######. Doesn't matter that my record is clean and I never filed a visa before. Thats what has me freaking out and I can't find any answers online. Makes me think I need a lawyer. I hope not!

The imbra section is optional and I remember seeing it in the profile but the law states that it is mandatory. That's why I was thinking of just signing back up to do the imbra thing. Better late than never. I hope they dont deny me on grounds we didn't exchange this form before saying hello. We are two able minded consenting adults, that would be an insane law.

So how do I file if we never did the imbra thing before we met on afro intro? We have known each other for over a year now? How do I do the signed written consent form after already knowing each other for a year? Sign back up for afro intro & just complete the form on their site? There no info how to submit question 35 if you're finding out imbra after you already met? I think I need a lawyer. And I don't have the money for that now. Really depressed!

IMBRA Special TopicsAWA and 3 DUI's

I hate to be a downer, but with the adam walsh issue plus 3 dui i think its going to be an extremely hard case. You might be better off just moving to the philippines lol

 

All I can do is try.  Since Ive been on the registry, EVERYTHING is difficult.  Finding good jobs, places to live etc.  Im not used to anything being easy anymore.

If it turns out I get denied, I guess the next step is to appeal.  If that is denied then I just have to go from there with whatever we mutually decide would be best for us..
Any more news on your case?

IMBRA Special TopicsAWA and 3 DUI's

Read threads about the adam walsh act.   You will need a lot of help and the visa if you can get it will take a LONG time as they want to be very sure that you will not harm the immigrant or any child you may produce with her.  

 

Thanks for your response.  I understand it can take upwards of 3+ years.  My fiance and I are prepared for that.  Ive told her about everything Ive read so far and about a consultation I just recently made.  

She and I are both in our late 40's and kids arent an option.  She has none.   But, Ive read in here that means nothing to USCIS because I *could* be a threat to possible nieces or nephews etc and that would be considered a harm to her.

 

I think thats reaching a bit, but I might be personalizing it a bit too much.   I understand the USCIS has a very hard job to do and have to be very thorough.

at a minimum, you should include a letter with the I-129F submittal asking for a WAIVER of IMBRA/VAWA

 

but that's just a minimum.

 

 

 

Is there a form letter I could look at?  Is the "letter" another document or just something handwritten asking for waiver?

You say that's just a minimum.  Im really not wanting to do the minimum here as I see Ive stacked the deck pretty well against myself.

IMBRA Special TopicsAWA and 3 DUI's

After reading this site for hours today (about 9 hours so far) Im a bit confused about my situation. 

Some threads read well and have happy outcomes and some that I followed (and feel I know the OP's a bit now) have had denials.

 

A bit of background:

I was convicted of Lewd and Lascivious assault on a minor under the age of 16 in 1996 (Adjudication withheld).  I went through a program called KIDS that involved counseling and periodical lie detectors tests.  I graduated that program and was released from the probation that I was on because those terms were met. I am now on a life time registration though because I was on probation during the time the laws went through that required SOR's to register.

 

In the interim I've gotten 3 DUI's.  The last one occured 5 years ago.

I have a few other misdemeanor convictions as well (possesion of paraphernaila, malicious mishchief, etc) 

None of these are excusable but at the time I just didnt care about much anymore after having my life and family torn away.

 

In the last couple of years Ive met a wonderful Irish lady (4 years my senior) that knows all about my past.   Ive been completely upfront about my past stupidity.

 

What Im wondering about  now are my chances at getting her here via the I-129F.  Ive seen things about the AWA that "may" be waived but it seems, now, theres also a 3 strike rule for DUI's?  And the combination of sex related offenses and substance abuse might just be a death knell.

 

She and I are deeply in love and desperately want a life together.

 

How should I go about filing?  Because of the past dumb assery should I go straight for a good immigration attorney or have I already made so many mistakes that the effort is going to be futile?

 

Any help, advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Since Tuberculin Skin Testing requires an observation period of 48-72 hours, applicants 2-14 years old are advised not to come for their medical examination on a Thursday.  The clinic is closed on weekends, so the TST cannot be interpreted before it expires.

 

Applicants are advised return to the clinic at least an hour before the time indicated on the TST return slip, to prevent expiration of TST.

IMBRA Special TopicsAWA: 3 years married, no greencard yet

Frankly, my biggest consern about leaving kids with him, besides broken heart, is that another law will come to live when they will say that ex sex offenders can't have kids now and they will be taken to a foster family. I know, that sounds crazy, but a few years ago AWA the way it applies to immigration would sound like crazyness. Like, guy who spent 21 month for a crime 16 years ago can't petition for his foreigh wife?? Well, he can, but good luck to be approved.


That isn't so crazy a fear, in California unless you have legal documents specifically allowing someone convicted of a sex offense can't live with their own kids.

With some of the recent posts it sounds like USCIS is trying to adjudicate AWA Cases based on the merits of each case.

I really wish all of you guys the best in your petitions.

[ ] Service Center
PO Box xxxxxx
Any Town, Any State

To Whom It May Concern:

In compliance with the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA), I respectfully request for waiver on filing limitations in connection with my current petition.

A waiver is appropriate in my circumstance because I have no criminal history with regard to the “specified crimes” under IMBRA. I have one prior approved Form I-129F for Ms. xxxxxxxxxxxxx of the Republic of the Philippines, WACxxxxxxxxxx, MNL2005xxxxxx. Our relationship did not work out in the end so I did not pursue the petition anymore. [You might want to add more info here as appropriate]

Hoping for your kind consideration of my request.

Thank you.

Yes, I understand how it all gets into the system. From what I understand, the applications have been getting processed faster if you submitted after a certain date this past year and basically, others that applied sooner were still having to wait longer because it went to the normal processing center and not a different center due to a backlog. Again, I don't know if this is applicable to the K1 visa apps.

 

every day is different.. 

 

it will still be a long wait.. no matter when you send.. some months the system get more.. other months.. they get less..

us 30 days to respond. We sent in pysch report, Affidavits, letters, Polygraph. Just this week 2.5 years

Does anyone have any idea now what??? How long before we may hear of an approval or denial? Or will they
send us for another appointment?

Wow you are much further along than I am your requesting AOS we are approaching the 60 day mark of submitting our RFE items through our Attorney just for the K-1 visa.

I sure hope we do not have to go through the same BS for AOS when she gets here.

Unless I am confused by the process of AOS.


It took us 3.5 years just to get a RFE.

We were transferred to Vermont back in April 2010 when they made the big move for AWA cases.

IMBRA Special TopicsAWA: 3 years married, no greencard yet

Hello for everyone!
Just a quick update on my case.

March 10th we got new biometrics apointment for my husband, called about it becase he already did biometrics for this case, and got the answer that it expired, he needs to do another one. Appointment is in a next few days (we had to reset it because of a VERY short notce: only 3 days before appointment!)

But a few days later we got something better! NOID finaly! Hooray!
From what I understand now, that is inevitable step for AWA petitions. The only thing is that normally people get NOID papers right at the interview, or very soon after it. I did infopass appointment in Feb and I believe that was the only reason why may case started to move on!
I wish to know why it was sitting dormant for 2 years, but suspect that is going o be a left as a mistery.

Big thanks to Infopass and an Immigration officer whom I saw there.

Happy Easter for everyone and good luck with your application!

QUOTE (kazuava @ Dec 11 2009, 01:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello for everybody!
Let me tell my sitution friefly and ask your opinion or advice.
I was on visitors visa in the US when merried my husband in October 2006, by now we even have 2 years old daughter together...
My husband falls under AWA. Our first petition was denied because of "refusal to comply" (we didn't met 30 days dedlines to send certified copies of polis records, court dispositions, etc. we were requested on interview). Soon I will have 3rd deportation Master hearing, 2 others were reset because of pending 2nd case (about 2nd case in just a second).
After denial our lawer advised us to reaply sending all those records with our new petition. Since then 22 months passed and we haven't got a desision yet. We had interview 4 months ago. THe officer who held interview stated that she doesn't qwestion out marriage , but need profe that my husband is "an examplary citizen and not a threat to anybody" and she will send us a letter saying what kind of a profe she wants. His interview was an hour, milne- 5 minutes she and didn't ask ANYTHING wich can be used to determine if he a threat to me. She didn't ask about our life together either. Only if I knew about it and a few questions about myself only. Before letting me go, she took my passport to make a copy like she said "to close the case". Such an approach worries me.
Like I said, she haven't sent us any letter requesting for information so far.
We recently sent a letter to Director of our sate USCIS. Letter basicly explaining current situation, long wait, positive things my husband did cince his crime (which expired 12 years ago), everything can be verifeed with his ex parol agent. Also we were asking to send a request for more profe or grant I-130.

We sent a letter a few days ago, so no update about it yet. A couple of days ago I found this website and I was surprised to see that there are a lot of cases involving AWA. I saw a list of documents some people used to prove that they are "not a threat", that is an extremely usefull! Thank you SO MUCH fo sharing your experience!

But here I have a few questions.
Guys, did you send all supporting dociments (polygraph, statements...) by yourself, without a request of USCIS or you waited for Notice of Denial?
My husband never was ordered for tretment, so he can't give a record of its sucsessful completion. DO you think that may be a problem, or a letter from private psychiatrist is enough?
Let me ask those who had to go through it: how much did it cost you to obtain a statement from psychiatrist and is it done in one session or over period of time? How mush is a polygraph?

In general, what do you think? Why does it takes so long or that is normal? Like I have said, it had been 22 month.

And just a last comment. I think that is funny. They denied me 1st time and taking their time 2nd time because he is supposely a threat. Meanwile me and our daughter have been leaving with "a threat" for over 3 years olready, being totaly dependend on him (my work permit was revoked and 2nd time I haven't applied for it because baby was only 4 months then and we were short on money at that time. Of, how much I regret now! Also I can't get drives lisence, well, I drive anyway...). Just... Nice way to be protected, I guess.

Sorry for the long post and GREAT THANK YOU for any replies. Good luck! good.gif



I think you might need to hire a lawyer that specializes in immigration, if you have lived with him 3 years, that should be proof enough. I think you might could even file a lawsuit if you provide them with everything requested and it still goes no where.

Any decision between 2 adults should not be the place of the government to try to tear apart a marraige/loved ones

IMBRA Special Topicsimbra by state

my question is mostly for a friend .   he met a girl while visiting sveta and I last may in ukraine via a friend of ours that also has an marriage broker site and he advised our friend use the site to write letters to the girl he met.  yes I know mostly so the office can make some money also. but the mother site is based in florida and they tell he has to file and submit all the imbra forms again as he was a member over year ago and he did this once however can the different states make you submit more information then imbra asks? is fbi background and state law aka dps checks be added? to comply
