RFE IMBRA

[Anh map 2,098]

I got an RFE in the mail that is essentially a restatement of the questions on the I-129F regarding marriage broker, etc. It says "supplement to I-129F" on the first page.

I've read around the VJ site regarding IMBRA but am still puzzled / concerned. The definition of marriage broker seems pretty simple "did you or finacee' pay any fees?" Is there some intrepretation that I am missing? Have any of you found this to not be the correct interpretation of the definition?

My I-129F answers to the 3 IMBRA questions were : NO, NO, NO.

We did start chatting through a website where it was just photos and e-mail/posting through that site. No fees paid by myself or fiance. Is my answer of NO correct given that?

If I missed the answer in a prior post or other thread, sorry. I've spent a couple of hours reading. Maybe I just feel more comfortable with the folks in this section of VJ. B)

Sorry but you were a victim of the IMBRA RFE with the new form.. Some people got it.. Just return it answering it the same as you did.. They are so messed up right now they don't know their heads from their...... well ya know.. You shouldn't have got one but ya did.

Oh yeah and how you met does not sound like a marriage broker to me at all.

There have been several attempts made at interpreting the definition of 'marriage broker'. Ultimately, it is up to the USCIS to decide based on your circumstances.

I would suggest that your response to the RFE be the same as your answers on your orignal I-129F. You might consider attaching a letter which explains, in more detail, the circumstances of how you met and make it clear that no money was exchanged to facilitate the connection between you and your fiance.

Thanks vartan and Jen

I did explain the details and give the website in my I-129F submission.

I was traveling this week for work and knew this was waiting for me when I got home today. So I've been no doubt overthinking the whole thing for the last few days.
