IMBRA affecting K-3's

[Yodrak 7]

MPGGPM,

No. "those background checks" performed up until now by the USCIS and the DoS are not the background checks of the petitioner required by IMBRA.

Don`t they already do those background checks for the CR-1 overseas BEFORE someone is able to come to the US ? ( at the embassies?)

Wouldn`t that be the difference between these k-1 and k-3 visas , because they did not have to go through such thorough background checks (and their spouses) BEFORE they arrived on US soil? They were allowed to come here and THEN it took place as they applied for AOS. (and where some of these k-1`s ran into trouble)

But isn`t it with the CR-1 ...that everything is done overseas already.....including all of those checks?

How would a CR-1 be a circumvention of this ?

Thanks

I would like to know my I130 was already approved do they send it after they approve it to have it check. Because if it takes so long after is been approved I could only imagine that is because they are doing some type of background check.

After your I-130 is approved, USCIS sends them to the NVC for further processing.

the main difference being is that a spouse petitioning only with an I-130 is not having to endure a criminal background check, whereas petitioners with I-129F do. That's the loophole and backdoor. Couples who meet thru IMBs can now just get married and apply for CR1 and circumvent that whole I-129F process. it'll probably take just about as long now.

Yes but then the person going through the IMB has to have the background done in order to even meet someone to start with. Likely if anything happens in this it is going to be the IMB's go out of business and everyone meets on standard chat programs, and then marry and file for the CR-1 "the great loophole"! Or as stated before they just lie and say no IMB involved, so long as you keep the story straight how would they ever know? Suppose the IMB's can come up with some creative way around all of this. Similiar to these paid commercials, they charge you for one thing in order for you to get to the next step which is FREE!

This law has a good point behind it, but that point is lost with such a large loop hole left.
