Why is International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) compliance so important?
If you’re a United States citizen and you’ve found the woman of your dreams through an international dating service, or an International Marriage Broker, that charges fees for providing dating, matrimonial, matchmaking services, or social referrals between United States citizens and foreign nationals, when it comes time to obtain a fiance visa for your beautiful mail order bride, only an IMBRA compliant company will be able to provide what’s required for petitioning the visa.
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services fiance visa petition requires that you include proof that any international dating service that you used to meet your fiance must provide signed documentation proving that the company is using the IMBRA compliant fiance consent form protocol.
When your fiance attends her U.S. Embassy visa interview, the consular official who interviews her is required to ask her to provide information about whether or not the international dating company used the IMBRA compliance protocol. United States federal law requires IMBRA compliance of all international dating companies.
If IMBRA events/documentation are not executed in the correct order, there will exist a non-compliant situation which CAN’T be reversed or undone. If your relationship is covered under the IMBRA and you’ve used an International Marriage Broker covered under the IMBRA to meet your fiance(e), you must comply with the IMBRA.
