Hello everyone...

Talking with a few people from VJ...the IMBRA law was sorta introduced to me...but I am not quite sure how it works...

My question: My fiancee and I met online with one of those matromonial advertiment sites. We didnt pay any fees ( someone asked me this before, but I am not sure why) so I am wondering as we will be filing a k1 visa ...does the IMBRA law affect us? And if so...how? What can we except?

I thank you all for any replies and input...

Peace and Blessings... (F)

It 'effects' anyone who has to fill out the I 129f form, as there is a section on it about whether or not you met through an international marriage broker or if you have been convicted of certain types of crimes (domestic violence, etc).
