IMBRA - bad law? Or WORST EVER?  

53 members have voted

  1. 1. Does IMBRA and the people that wrote it suck?

    • Yes! One of the most moronic pieces of legislation ever.
      9
    • For Sure! Unparalled in its ability to destroy the lives of good people.
      3
    • No Doubt! Why do I deserve this additional delay to an already broken process?
      10
    • No! It is a fine law written by well intentioned but totally incompetent fools.
      18
    • This is a great law, it protects me from many imaginable risks. Oh and I believe in Santa Clause too!

This poll is interesting:

1. The poll is somewhat flawed because the votes adamantly opposed to IMBRA are divided up among the first 3 voting selections.

2. Based on that, there are more people VOTING that are adamantly opposed to IMBRA.

3. But, so far, the ones vocal enough to actually post something are those who are actually in favor of IMBRA, even if they don't like the delays it causes.

Just an observation...

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

The IMBRA criminal background screening is a good idea, but I think it would have been simpler and more effective to just prohibit felons from qualifying for a K1 or K3. I also think all petitioners should be required to have an interview in the US. The beneficiary is required to pass an interview, so why not the petitioner? That would filter out some of the scumbags and frauds.

The IMBRA limit on number of petitions is a good idea and overdue. Some guys were bringing in multiple women for trial marriages or worse.

The IMBRA web site rules probably won't do much good, will put some web sites out of business, will make more money for Match.com etc., and will just make it more difficult for poor foreign women to find a US husband. Defining a web site as a "Marriage Broker" because they charge men in the US maybe a 100 bucks a year and don't charge foreign women who can't afford to pay is silly, and just puts disadvantaged women at a greater disadvantage in finding a good husband.

Why make it easier for them? If two people meet by chance and fall in love - great,

but why should the law encourage people to actively seek partners in another country?

I say make it as difficult as possible!
