For those of you that have been affected by this new law, my prayers are with you. For those of us who don't know if we will be affected, what shall one do? How do you find out if your case was shipped back? Does one just hope that their petition won't be affected, or should we contact someone to see if we have been affecter or will be? If you are to call and bring attention to this, maybe they will ship it back. Just like everyone else, I just want to know what is going to happen with our case. How has others dealt with this nonsense? Can't they just do the criminal check without returning the petition?

I think the affected couples are all being informed of the recalls, so if you get recalled you'll get info on it.

We first found out last week when my fiance emailed the Montreal Consulate to ask if our case was likely to be affected. They responded by emailing him a copy of the letter they'd sent us about the recall. He just received the actual letter yesterday.

I was thinking that myself. My NOA1 is Mar. 1st and we've filled out and faxed in the two Packet 3 docs and we're waiting for the interview date now... and I was told that Naples will contact you when Naples is ready to give you an interview date/packet 4, but I was thinking of calling (or e-mailing) and asking whether we're being affected by the IMBRA because I honestly wouldn't put it past Naples to send a person's documents back to the US, to Germany, to China, to the Moon, without informing them, based on what I've heard about how they operate over there. Part of me wants to know one way or another yes or no, will we be effected or not? But then part of me doesn't want to ... ya know... poke the sleeping bear awake, if you get my meaning.

For everyone who is being effected -- I hope everything works out asap and they stop all this nonsense

What does the letter say? Any information?

Here's a copy of the text:

The U.S. Consulate General in Montreal has received a request from officials of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) stating that the I-129F petition you filed on behalf of your fiancé(e) must be returned to USCIS because of new procedures required by law. The new procedures provide that USCIS must collect additional information from petitioners. Therefore, as per USCIS instructions, we have returned the petition referenced above to USCIS.

At this time, the petition is not considered to be valid. USCIS officials will be in contact with you concerning the additional information required to validate the petition.

This Consulate has no authority in the petition validation/approval process. That authority rests solely with USCIS. We have no further details as to what information will be required by USCIS, or how long it may take in order for USCIS to validate the above referenced petition.

We regret that neither this Consulate nor the National Visa Center has any additional information regarding your petition. Any inquiries concerning the status of the petition should be addressed to the USCIS, telephone number 800-375-5283.

Sincerely,
