Hello,

I am the American citizen, my finance is who I would like to bring to the US. We did not meet through an IMB website etc. I am reading through the requirements and paperwork needed, and see a lot based around the IMBA.

I have a felony from 15 years ago, and other small stuff. The I-129f looks to be based around IF we met through an IMB. If not, than do I have to attached all the court paperwork etc?

Thanks in advance for your prompt rely,

Rob

excuse me not proofreading this post before submitting!! "Didn't meet through an IMB, do I still need to check the boxes that I have prior nonviolent convictions?"

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

I did read the instructions. I am on this forum to ask the question.. If I didnt meet through an International Marriage Broker, or website, do I need to disclose all that information? Or, if my fiancee writes a letter that she is aware of my past and are we all good. It's going to be a huge pain getting that paper work since over 15 years ago, most are sealed files now since over 10 years.

If you did not meet thru a IMB then simply check no. Your criminal past is a different issue and not related to IMB. Whatever past you have on record then you must submit it. They don't care if your fiance knows or not at this point but they may ask her at a future interview if she is aware. Be honest and you should have no problems.
