IMBRA compliance on the broker's part.

Due to the fact that most women are cruel in my area, and even if I do find one, 50% of all domestic marriages end in failure, I didn't want to just get married and loose half my crap. So, I've considered looking overseas for a soul mate. However, I found THIS page:

heartofasiaonline.com/hr3402.php

It says that, unless you go through an international marriage broker that complies with IMBRA, you will get denied your fiance's K1 visa.

Is that true? Just because my BROKER made a mistake, I can't get her visa?

I've read the entire IMBRA statute (it's not a very big statute), and it never says anything like "If a sponsor meets their fiance through the services of an international marriage broker that does not conduct these background checks, they shall not be granted a fiance visa."

So, is there any real merit to this outlandish claim? Can I really get denied a visa because my fiance didn't know about my criminal history BEFORE I even sent her the first email, even though it's the broker's fault, and not mine?

I could care less if the broker has to pay a fine; that's not my concern. I'm willing to give my criminal history (I've got nothing to hide), but so few international dating websites conduct these checks. If all that comes of them not conducting these background checks is a fine, that's fine (no pun intended) with me, as long as I get the fiance visa that I want.

Can someone shine some light on this subject?
 
Having not gone through the IMBRA process as Im from the UK, I have very little knowledge in this area.
Im sure there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum who will be able to help, though I fear it may take them a while to notice this thread.
Instead Im going to direct you to a different sub forum dedicated specifically to IMBRA issues, and Im sure youll get a prompt response there.
