Should there be a reverse IMBRA law?

[KingQM 0]

Well I have been lurking here for some time while looking at the guides for my K1 petiton for my girlfriend. I read all the screaming and hollering about the IMBRA but I feel that I am not a criminal what should I be afraid of?

I do see many men with fiancees from "fraud countries" who most likely did meet their women through a marriage broker, and I wonder should there be a reverse IMBRA law? I for one would have liked to have known that my previous fiancee ( who I did meet through one of these shady organizations ) had worked as a PROSTITUTE. I found out and dumped her of course ( found her profile in a brochure luring men to Central America on "fishing trips") It was a family member of hers that tipped me off...I sure would have like to know that in advance. I was young and naive at the time, but through more research I have learned that Colombian women have the highest rate of prostitution throughout the Americas. They leave Colombia looking for men and money and using sex and prostitution to get it. I'm sure there really are some "sexy and sincere" women that use these services, but from what I have read on another website, well they are few and far between.

On this board I have seen evidence of the women using the men (and sometimes vice-versa) for money and a green card, and sometimes I think love is so blind or the feeling of being alone is so frightening that these signs are ignored. I remember reading one gentleman, married to a Filipina about 25 years his junior saying how he had maintained her, sending her money in her country until they married, and now he continues to send money to her family...and he was kind of joking about it?! COME ON! You think this woman isn't using him for money? Another guy actually divorced his wife to run off to be with a "mail order" I'm just saying maybe there should be some reverse action on all this IMBRA stuff. Here in the USA there are so many ways to find out background about a person, but a foreign person there is not so much information. I'm sure many people will be offended by this but I feel it is only fair.

The girl I am filing the K1 for now, I met here while she was here on a Student Visa, none of this internet relationship stuff...not for me..although I can't knock the legit sites (Match, E-Harmony etc) So I know she is not using me, she can get a great job in her home country of Curacao and live good with or without her coming to the US, and I can definitely say she was never a prostitute, nor will I have to be maintaining HER family while trying to start our own.

Just my 10 cents worth ( I talked a little more than 2 cents)

There already is a "reverse IMBRA law". All fiance's must have a background check and submit police checks before a visa can be issued. If any criminal background is uncovered they will deny the petition. As far as green card trolls go that is the responsibility of the petitioner to figure out if she is on the up and up.
