frank1538 Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 In light of the enactment of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005, has or will the consulate implement any new procedures regarding the processing of fiance(e) or spousal visas and the conduct of interviews? Of some concern is what the consulate will do if an applicant had used an "international marriage broker" but had not been provided the background information on the US citizen as required by the Act.

longstrangetrip Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 There is much tension right now and speculation that HR3402, "International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005," Will cause delays, petitions being returned to USCIS for re-adjudication, etc. Could you tell us if there are any changes in procedure that may effect K1, K3 or CR-1 visas? Also are there any visas that would not be effected by this new law? namely ones submitted to USCIS before March 5, 2006 or ones that specifically state that an international Marriage Broker was not used. Any information you could give would lower the level of anxiety in many people separated from their loved ones right now. Thankyou. Link to comment
USCONGUZ Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 The Consulate is aware of the new law. We have not yet received specific guidance on how this would effect our procedures at post. Link to comment
