How does an 'IMBRA' background check work?

[el magico 0]

I recently signed up for an online dating website, but came across something called 'IMBRA'. I have a good idea of what it is, but I'm curious as to when the background check is performed? I'm in my mid 20's and I'm not really looking for anything serious, nor am I looking to marry anyone. It's something I'm interested in doing in the future, but honestly right now I'm just looking for some new people to talk to. On the top of the IMBRA page it say's "Please complete this form, which is required by US law. It will be shown to the women you communicate with." Am I authorizing a background check by confirming that all of the information I provided is correct?

It sounds like you have stumbled upon a website that falls under IMBRA.

International Marriage Broker Obligations

Before an IMB can release the personal contact information of a foreign client to a U.S. client, the IMB must:

Search the National Sex Offender Registry to determine the record of the U.S. citizen, and disclose any information found concerning the U.S. citizen to the foreign client

Obtain a signed statement from the U.S. citizen revealing any current or past protection or restraining order, most criminal arrests and convictions, virtually all arrest or convictions for domestic or sexual offenses, multiple convictions for substance and/or alcohol abuse, the U.S. client's marital history (including the reason for termination of any prior marriages), the ages of any of the U.S. citizen's children under the age of 18, and a list of all States and counties that the U.S. citizen has lived in since the client was 18 years of age.

Distribute to the foreign national a pamphlet currently being developed by the U.S. government to educate foreign fiancé(e)s about U.S. domestic abuse laws and resources for immigrant victims in the U.S.; and

Obtain the foreign national's written consent to disclosing her personal contact information.
