Is this IMBRA really affecting only cases that has to do with marriage brokers or everyone?

Some parts affect everyone. The part about the number of petitions is one. About the rest of the law, WHO KNOWS????? We are still trying to figure that part out.

[Ladylethal 12]

Right, I see. I haven´t gotten my NOA2 yet but I am hoping the delay won´t be a great one.

Here is my take on the law: See this thread.

march madness. IMBRA effective date has taken over our lives.

I don't know how well this information will help, but I just spoke with the company that filed our petition for us. I talked to him for fifteen minutes and he said the new law effects those who met each other thru a marriage broker. He said that the petitions that are getting returned, probably have to do with their answer they gave in how they met. If the answer given doesn't exclude the possibility of a marriage broker, then yours may be effected. When we filed ours, I stated we met while visiting Vietnam, because this is actually where we met, and they are not asking you how can you meet in Vietnam, just where did you meet. There are two questions usually at the interview. One is how can you two meet, which would be on a dating site, or thru friends. The other question is where did you two meet, which is the same question as on the I-129F, and your answer would be where you actually met each other. I did not use a broker so I think I am in the clear.

So for those cases that have been returned or interviews cancelled, if you would be willing to say, can you tells us your answer to the question on I-129. If you just said met online, that leaves the door open. I think this information would be the most useful in figuring this out.

You can ad my name to the list using my signature if you like, but I haven't been told that ours has been sent back. We are still expecting for our to go smoothly.

My case might be good to track. We met through an IMB and said so on the I-129f. Interview is scheduled for 5/31.
