International Marriage
Broker Regulation Act - IMBRA
The International Marriage Broker Regulation Act (IMBRA) was
signed into law on January 5, 2006. Immigration regulations
under IMBRA prohibit issuance of a K visa without an approved
waiver in two sets of circumstances.
The two areas are:
Petitioner with a criminal conviction for a specified crime
Petitioner who has previously filed a K1 visa petitions or had a
K1 visa petition approved within the past two years.
IMBRA
regulations also prohibit the issuance of a K3 spousal visa
without an approved waiver if the petitioner has criminal
convictions.
Criminal conviction covers various crimes
involving violence as well as crimes relating to a controlled
substance drugs or alcohol. If you believe you may fall under
this section of IMBRA call us and we will discuss your situation
with you and give you advice on what in our opinion will be
needed in your situation to obtain a K1 fiancée visa or K3
spousal visa.
Filing limitations; if you have filed two
or more K1 visa petitions at any time in the past or has a K1
visa petition approved within the past two years prior to filing
of the current petition, a waiver must be obtained before your
K1 petition can be approved.
Call our office with any
questions; we look forward to speaking with you.
