This was obviously written prior to when IMBRA came into effect last year - or was it the year before now?. Good explanation of why IMBRA was enacted, though.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Ha, while I have dealt for years in buying international components from all over the world, that is the only way to stay in business, never occurred to me to order a wife from a mail order company. Do not find women attractive that display themselves to the highest bidder and how can you develop trust in such a relationship? While I may have a very high IQ in the scientific world, I learned the hard way that my first marriage was entered with an IQ of about, 1.093 or in other words, I was a complete idiot.

Can't have a good relationship without trust, and that takes time to develop feel your spouse should also be your best most closest friend and as Donald Thump will tell you, can't buy good friends.

Since either the old INS or the new USCIS is making a big deal out of this, they should add one more question to the form.

Did you meet your spouse through a mail order service? Yes No

If you answered yes fill in parts 2 though 99 below.

If you answered no, skip to part 100, sign and date the application and sent it to us.

That would save both a lot of grief for both us and the USCIS.

Maybe they need to send a USCIS agent to each home 1 year after marriage to see how the foreign spouse is doing?

Yeah, that would be great.

Would probably solve some problems; but it's not what I would want.

I would think anyone in an abusive relationship would like to have someone "pop in" and check on them to see if abuse is ocurring? Especially someone that could do something about it.

This is all old news. When IMBRA went into effect in 2006, they had used this report in 2005 and others to influence Congress to pass IMBRA as part of VAWA. It should be said that IMBRA would not have passed on its own as it was tried. But added to VAWA it was a slam dunk.

I am wondering if any comparisons were ever made between domestic marriage and incidents of abuse versus international marriages and their cases of abuse.

In a side light, there is an article coming out later this month about which countries are the happiest. Good old USA is ranked 16th. Maybe we need more international marriages to move up the scale.

I should have married a Dane. Faraway, so close. Their immigration is no fun though. :lol:
