I was suprised to see IMBRA RFE everywhere as I had never heard about it (I joined this website back in 2004, I come every now and then).

I did some researches and it seems to be for mail order brides.

My husband and I met "naturally". No agency or anyone involved. I guess the IMBRA RFE is not for us. But I see a lot of people talking about it and needing it.

- is it because I misunderstood?

- OR does that mean most people here met through agencies?

N-400 process started 09/2017

Whether or not you need it depends on your timeline and when you filed for your K3. The law went into effect on March 6 and USCIS did not update the I-129 form until mid-June. Therefore, anyone who filed after March 6 with the old form will or has received an RFE. It affects anyone filing for K1 or K3 during that time - doesn't matter how you met, male or female petitioners, fiance or married, or where your fiance/spouse is from.

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

Anyone regardless of how they met is affected by the IMBRA as far as the additional questions that are now asked on the I-129F. RFE's were and are being issued for any petition filed and/or approved from March 6 onward. This was to bring the petitions filed with the old I-129F's into compliance with the requirements of the IMBRA. There is even RFE's being received by those using the new form as the service center seems to be somewhat over zealous. Its also not only about having met through a marriage broker, but is also for those USC petitioners that have filed multiple petitions or have criminal convictions.
