IMBRA RFE but not a valid objection.

[GYnot 8]

I submitted in June, got notified last Wednesday by checking my case number that an RFE had been generated. Of course I had no information about the RFE. They said the mail had been sent on the 13th of July, but it just arrived today.

I checked the No box for Imbra.

And I wrote on the 34a:

"We met online in 2009 and began extensive correspondence..."

The RFE says essentially, you didn't name the website and so it may be an IMBRA website and so you need to submit the name of the site and the IMBRA consent form.

Here's what I wrote in response:

Luz and I met online in a chat room associated with yahoo.com in 2008. The purpose of this chat room was to allow Colombian people to answer questions from foreigners, from anywhere in the world, who had questions about life and travel in Colombia. The purpose of this chat room was NOT to meet dating partners. There was no profile or pictures of the participants. It was strictly a place to ask questions about life and travel in Colombia. There were no profiles of any kind and no fees or money was paid by me to participate in these conversations. Luz and I spoke casually using yahoo chat for several months and then exchanged contact information. She gave me her contact information directly. I gave her my information directly. There was no third party involved in this exchange and no money or any kind of compensation was given or received. This decision to exchange information was based on our conversations and did not come through a referral or any kind of matchmaking service. Our contact information was mutually exchanged based on our personally discovered interest in each other. We did not use the services of an International Marriage Broker.

Do you think that covers the issues in an appropriate manner?

Sounds adequate to me but maybe you should attach a letter from yahoo saying it's chat rooms aren't affiliated with any IMB.

Hi Tony,

Your RFE response is very similar to the language I used in my i-129f application to describe the chatsite where I met my fiance . I received NOA2. I think your RFE response covers the issue appropriately.
