A service that arranges marriages between US citizens and foreign nationals receives scrutiny.   IMBRA is a law to deal with marriage brokers.  

 

A dating app does not arrange marriages between US citizens and foreign nationals.  There is no marriage broker.  


Google IMBRA if you want to learn more.

Because somebody in Congress thought it was a good idea.  It only affects i129f petitions.   It doesn't prevent the use of a matchmaker but requires additional steps to make it approvable

YMMV
