1. It is easily available for them to check

2. by now they should know about the most common sites, why ask for something they have already seen countless times

3. Shouldn't it be their due diligence to verify if a site is IMBRA?

 

Perhaps I am not understanding something...

LOL  I don't think I am either

Today was root canal day for me. I had a run in with a crappy dentist three weeks ago, who sent me to the ER after drilling into my sinus and pouring bleach into it. Today I had a specialist go in and

My fiancé was able to get ahold of someone at NVC and he got my case number (still at the NVC). I made sure he called today since its a long weekend. Hopefully many of you in here got some good news in one form or another before the long weekend begins. If not, enjoy the weekend, stay busy and occupied. The next business day will roll around before you know it.

It does.  But we may need to tap the brakes a little bit.   Angels dad is in the hospital with severe pneumonia.  Trying not to get too many mixed emotions going on there.  

 

We will see how this all turns out.

Oh no. =( i hope her dad recovers and gets well soon!

My thought exactly. I-129f question 34a, 35, and 35a ask specifically to annotate the circumstances if you met via an international marriage broker.  If one answers no, and you indicate an online dating site, especially one they have seen countless times; then why ask for the T&Cs?  If USCIS is not sure, then why not they investigate? They do personal background checks. Lastly, there is no guidance I found regarding the I-129f form where it directs you to provide Dating site T&Cs. (I may be wrong, since we did not meet via IMB, so admittedly I did not look that hard) One would only know to provide if they got an RFE.

Yup. Like I have said before. I am irritated with it all, from a case worker, all the way to the top. The top defined as the ethos of society itself which manifests into these systems of cr@pola. It's not like we live in a reality of inadequate resources and technology. What we live in is a system born out of 2000+-year-old ideas that no longer align with the technical and scientific potential of today.

 

I rarely deal with the governments, for this reason. I will be so glad to fade away into obscurity once this is over.

Aaaaamen!!!!!
