Does anyone know if they do a background check or FBI check on the US Citizen of the Foreign Spouse.
Just really curious

Jenna, yes they do background checks on the USC and if you have a co sponsor that person is background checked as well.
*INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE BROKER REGULATION ACT ("IMBRA")*: Security Name Checks at USCIS and the Consulates have reportedly intensified due to the passage of IMBRA, which effectively requires more security checks of both Petitioner and Beneficiary, including check for Abuse Protections Orders, court-restraining or "no-contact" orders and past domestic violence history, and a check on the number of a past K Visa petitions a Petitioner has submitted.
