Thanks Jaylen Brit and PatientlyWaiting, I have been trying to figure out how to make this look presentable.

There should be a way to do a proper table with cells and such in BB code but I just haven't found it yet.

Jaylen Brit, did you just choose the

 tags and then the spacing stayed with the table? Thats kind of cool if that is the way it works. I wonder if there is a way of changing the "code" name at the top?

I will play with the various ways of doing this. Thanks guys!!

GaryC your a champ for doing this. I was really starting to get panick seeing these interviews getting cancelled. Should hear about my interview in a week or two by past standards. Please add us too.

Hey all.

I just spoke to the Embassy, and my interview has not been cancelled. I will confirm with USCIS shortly that my NOA2 has not been rescinded.

I wonder if during this early implementation period for the new law the USCIS is taking a case-by-case look to determine if to recall the NOA2s?

What would help is if those who had their interviews cancelled could provide some info as to whether they met their fiancees online, through a broker, or on their own. We may see a pattern then. If you don't want to let us know this, totally understandable.

The law applies to all petitioners, in so far as we all need to have our criminal records presented to fiancees, regardless of whether or not you used a marriage broker. But still, the USCIS might be looking at this in another way for the interim period until they can get it all in line.

I met my fiancee while working in Russia as a federal employee for the Embassy (although I am not one anymore), so they might have let me slip by. Did not use a broker or the internet. But that theory would only apply if they are doing a case by case look at things, rather than a complete "recall".

I am wondering, particularly now, how important it is going to be to write more then a few words when it comes to Q18 on the I-129F as to how one met especially if one has met over the internet. Whilst meeting online itself, in various chat rooms, groups etc do not seem to come under this act.....how are they to know if one leaves too much to the imagination. My advice is to perhaps go into a lot more detail under these circumstances to safeguard against being caught up in it. Any thoughts?????

Maybe you're right about this. But I wonder if there's any pattern thus far connecting how couple met with whether they've been affected by the IMBRA or whether they wrote a lot or a little in Q18.

What I don't get is the people who have NOA1's before March 6th getting their stuff returned -- they're retroactively enforcing a law that wasn't in effect at the time. At least for petitions that got the NOA1 on or after 3/6 they could say it's when the law technically came into effect, but before that ... even if the NOA1 was recorded on March 5th 5 minutes before the SC was closing, the law still wasn't active at the time.

Ahhhghghgh-- no rhyme or reason !

I attached a two-page letter further explaining how we met on the internet and our history together. Hopefully that will rule out any suspicions.

So far, there isn't enough people affected here I don't think to see a pattern unfortunately.
