IMBRA (Yes or No on question #1)

On the original i129f petition it is required to expain how you met. Wouldn't it be prudent to go back and re-read what you wrote about this and partially base your answer on that?

I dont know if I will put yes or no as I met on a site that I paid a fee for...but it is just a forum for individuals to upload their bio's and pictures and e-mail adresses only. Their is no real role the agency had, except to charge the fee and create the websight. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

My fiance got this new form (suplement to I-129F) and it doens't ask you again how you met in person.

We had the same doubt. But my fiance said he is going to say NO because we sent an email to incredidate.com (the site where we had the first contact) and they replied saying they are not international marriage broker. And this site is like this one you said where you can find just pictures and by paying you can have contact and get email adress.

I't's pretty straight forward really.

So does that mean yes or no?

Because if I go strictly by the definition it would depend if I used a "dating service" and so what IS a dating service? to err on the safe side it may be better to put YES then. The only thing is someone told me that could set me up to have them JUDGE the agency in some way.

My laweyer actually just called and said to say YES. But I am still not sure.

why would you ask a dating site if they are a marriage broker? How do you know if they are correct in their answer?

Just read the difinition for yourself and decide.

qqq777iii888, you seem to have multiple posts asking the same question. Why not stick to one of them and see what people think? It may be rather confusing for you to have to check several replies to your different (and yet very similar) postings. Just a suggestion.
