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?
