ummmm....what?

the foreign fiance doesnt need to SEE anything.

however for the k-1 package,youll need letter of intent in which youre stating that youre free to marry her,and she is free to marry you,AND you will need evidence of divorce if there has been a divorce on both sides.

later on when it comes to the interview youll need tax returns and what not to prove that you meet poverty guidelines.

read the guides and flowcharts,they are crystal clear

If introduced by a pay website, does the foreign fiancee need to see marital status & criminal background report?

MMmmhhh... No fiance(e) needs to see anything, really. If someone agrees to marry you, they agree to do it. But your question makes me wonder, do you have something to hide or what is the problem? Now, in terms of the actual I 129 F approval, you do need to convince USCIS and later on convince the consul of your relationship...

August 23, 2010 - I-129 F package sent via USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

August 30, 2010 - Per Department of Homeland Security (DHS) e-mail, petition received and routed to California Service Center for processing. Check cashed. I-797C Notice of Action by mail (NOA 1) - Received date 08/25/2010. Notice date 08/27/2010.

After 150 days of imposed anxious patience...

January 24, 2011 - Per USCIS website, petition approved and notice mailed.

January 31, 2011 - Approval receipt notice (NOA 2) received by mail. Called NVC, given Santo Domingo case number, and informed that petition was sent same day to consulate.

Called Visa Specialist at the Department of State every day for a case update. Informed of interview date on February, 16 2011. Informed that packet was mailed to fiance on February, 15 2011.

February 21, 2011 - Fiance has not yet received packet. Called 1-877-804-5402 (Visa Information Center of the United States Embassy) to request a duplicate packet in person pick-up at the US consulate in Santo Domingo. Packet can be picked-up by fiance on 02/28.

March 1, 2011 - Medical exam completed at Consultorios de Visa in Santo Domingo.

March 9, 2011 at 6 AM - Interview, approved!

March 18, 2011 - POE together. JFK and O'Hare airports. Legal wedding: May 16, 2011.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

-Henry David Thoreau

The foreign fiance needs to be told what your marital status is and about your criminal background.

The US classifies it as an IMB if it's primary focus is on hooking up American citizens and LPR's with foreigners, or if it charges different fees for Americans than it charges for foreigners. If a dating or matchmaking website qualifies as an IMB then they are supposed to collect biographical and criminal history from the American citizen and make this information available to the foreigner before they initiate contact between them. Part of the reason for IMBRA disclosure with the I-129F is to make sure that IMB's have complied with this requirement. The other reason is so that Department of State can provide this information to the beneficiary before they apply for the visa.

Marital history doesn't necessarily have to be disclosed to the foreign beneficiary, but it does have to be disclosed to USCIS with the petition. If the beneficiary is asked questions about the USC's marital history at the interview and they don't know about it then the chances of approval drop dramatically.

A history of any crimes covered by the IMBRA is required to be disclosed to the beneficiary. Even if the petitioner doesn't tell the beneficiary about them, Department of State will.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!
