I met my girl on a website called chineselovelinks.com. I sent a message asking if they were an IMB after not being able to find any info on their website. Below is their response.

Thank you for contacting us.

Please be advised that section 4 B (ii) of IMBRA exempts dating companies whose principal business is not to provide dating services between US citizens and foreign nationals so long as it charges comparable rates and offers comparable services to all individuals regardless of gender or country of citizenship. Consequently our company is exempt as it falls within this exemption (as do many other large dating companies).

Full information regarding IMBRA can be found at http://usaimmigrationattorney.com/images/IMBRA2005.pdf

The section quoted above can be seen in the image attachment.

It appears to me that they do not fall under the act but I want to be 100% sure when I file my 129F. Any comments, suggestions or direction would be appreciated. Thank you, Max

Nearly all if not all internet "dating" websites are NOT IMB's. I would conclude this one isn't as well. That said, we've seen no evidence in two years now that it makes an ounce of difference whether you answer yes or no to the IMBRA question. You must provide any criminal records in either case. If no criminal record, just use your best judgment checking the IMBRA box. I'd check no on this one.
