I am abount to begin the process for a K1 Visa and I keep reading about IMBRA. Will I be affected by this as the current I-129F has the questions. Will I eventually get RFE for this? I am new to this process and would appreciate any help on this

Also just to confirm I do not need my Finace birthe certificate fir first submitting the form, I went to a lawyer and they told me I need this, I have been reading forums and no one has mentioned this. Can someone please confirm.

Thanks,

JDF

Even if you use the new IMBRA approved I-129F, there is a chance that you will get an IMBRA RFE. Some have. Not sure if that is accross the board though.

You will not need your Fiance's birth certificate until the Embassy. Hang onto it for now.

Yes you will be given a RFE as a new policy they are giving RFE for those who submit thier 129F before and after march.

:no:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I was talking to someone about this and she suggested, just to cover my bases, that I write something in my cover letter to the effect of, "I am using the updated I-129F form which includes all needed IMBRA information." Granted, if they don't take the 2 minutes to look and see that the information they need is right in front of their faces, they may not read the cover letter through either. But if I add this one sentence, I'll know that at least I did what I could and, if I get a RFE, I wouldn't have anything to beat myself up about. ;)
