Anyone have IMB problems with christianfilipino.com

[Am & Ra 19]

Our status is at USCIS waiting for approval, just want to be prepared if we receive an RFE. The christianfilipino.com site information clearly states they are not a IMB. Does anyone here know of or themselves received an RFE for christianfilipino.com, in regards to IMB.

At least the site clarifies that they're not an IMB. Just in case, print that, and have it ready in case of an RFE. I wouldn't worry otherwise.

Here is the email request sent to christianfilipino.com in regards to International Marriage Broker Status.

Subject Line: Request for proof to provide USCIS about Christian Filipino exemption from IMB

Body: To whom it might concern, I was a paying member of your Christian Filipino website. I did meet my fiancee on your website and currently we are engaged to be married through process of K-1 Visa. The status of my petition is now at the USCIS stage. It has come to my attention I might need proof that Christian Filipino is not an International Marriage Broker. Would you be so kind as to send me documentation showing we are exempt from the rules and guidelines of IMB status.

Thank you,

The caliber of the response is exactly what's called for. If you get an RFE, you'll be able to dispatch it completely by submitting what you've posted here.

Thank you, TboneTX

Should I just send USCIS the documentation and email received showing Christian Filipino is not an IMB now beforehand of receiving an RFE. I did state on my I-129F petition they weren't by checking no to the question. I also stated in question 34a, "Describe the circumstances under which you met the following:

I ____ met ____ at Christian Filipino website, (christianfilipino.com). This website is not an international marriage broker as defined by section 3(4) of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005. This website is an entity that provides dating services between United States citizens or residents and other individuals who may be aliens, but does not do so as its principal business and charges comparable rates to all individuals it serves regardless of the gender, country of citizenship, or residence of the individual.

The reason I ask you this: Would this prevent any delays associated with waiting to receive and respond to an RFE? My petition is currently in NOA1 status with prediction of being processed between December 10-12, 2015 with California Service Center.

I removed your original post because your full names were included, and have edited them out from the quote above.

Wait to see whether you get an RFE at all. Trying to send something now would be nearly fruitless because of the impossibility of its meeting up with your petition package. Stay calm.
