Lets collect some information about IMBRA effects

ok, good, I guess.....

I wonder why some are being transferred. Maybe it is a good sign for you guys... at least it is a touch!?

Does the IMBRA background check apply to non-marriage broker visas too?

Our I -129F NOA date is April 4, 2006.

We did not use a marriage broker or a lawyer.

There have not been any updates on our case according to the USCIS website.

How do you find out if your case has been touched?

Any info is greatly appreciated!

Apologies if this was answered in an earlier post, I have scanned most of the posts and didn't see this q.

The IMBRA procedures will be affecting ALL petitions, as far as we know.

What a load of #######!!! I just called the USCIS and accessed my case number. They gave me a recorded message about the transfer and a phone number to call to get processing info. THE NUMBER HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED!!!! I don't believe this!!!

Can´t you call and ask for a rep?

"All reps are busy and there is a greater than 30 minute wait". Then they hung up.

That's crazy! Hopefullyyou can get someone on thephone today to tell you why.

I realize it is frustrating for you to have to leave this for now (I know you are off to holiday) but at least you get to go see Luz for a while... maybe by the time you get back you will have some more answers.

Oy, okay. I'll see about getting in touch with Hillary's and Chuck's offices this week. My Congressman is facing a tough race this November, so I'll contact him too and see how badly he wants me to vote Republican for once in my life.

GaryC, I find it disturbing that you belong to Rush 24/7. Not because it's Rush so much as because it's 24/7. Do you get updates on how Rush slept last night, or what he just ate for a mid-morning snack? Do they tell you when Rush is on the phone or in the bathroom? Okay that would actually be really funny. I'm no longer disturbed--just amused.

I just talked to my lawyer. He said that he has had a few cases transfered from NSC to CSC. He doesn't see any reason for it when it happens. He just said it happens sometime.

HAHA! It just gives me access to past shows and his reference material. I can also watch his webcam during his show.

I work midnights so I am asleep when the show is on. I can watch it at work at 3am if I want this way.

go to the uscis.gov website. if you go to search and type IMBRA there is a draft of a new I-129F including a new section on the IMBRA. not sure if this was posted.

Hi again,

I just had a meeting with one of my congresswoman's constituents. She made calls (dialed numbers I didn't recognize) to find out what is going on. Some info:

- all RECALLED cases are being held at the Vermont Service Center until new forms for the law are created and implemented.

- she called VSC and asked for a timeframe and made a poo face when she got the response (choke). "It is going to be quite awhile because all of it all has to be translated into many languages before it can be implemented." No mention of days, weeks, months - just "long time".

- K-3's are NOT affected by IMBRA

- an option is to marry in France and file a K-3 when I return

- it is not an option to marry here and file a K-3 as it will not change his visa status (tourist). He would still have to leave and wait in France

She was able to confirm our case was returned on May 25th from the consulate and is in the hands of VSC. (something I could not get confrimed from anyone.) She is also finding out more info on why mine was recalled because it shouldn't have been (her words) and will let me know.

Please forgive me if I have repeated any info already in here.

I hope this helps someone.

the draft looks like it will not require any additional documents UNLESS you have have a record or have filed k1s in the past. there is also a link to a document requesting an emergency form by June 9. is this progress?

[hockeygal 0]

everyone will stillhave to fill in a new form or addendum or whatever saying they did not meet by broker (if that is the case).

Americanwoman's post implies there is still a long wait ahead.

So.... is everyone going to run off and get married and apply for a K3?
