How meet question

If you meet online through an introduction website such as Filipina Heart; is it better to state that fact or to say that you met online, for example Yahoo Messenger?

I'm going to go with telling the full truth about the website you met on. However, I don't know what the IMBRA laws say about websites like that, someone else know if Filipina Heart is considered a marriage broker? If so, you MUST tell the full truth.

I told them in the RFE that we met on FH, gave them the address of the Australian company running the web page, and I was approved no problem. Better to be honest upfront, than to be explaining your "fibs" of omission later I think.

I added a supplemental to the I-129 and descripted in detail how we initially met online and then in person. It seemed to work, Claudeth made it here in less than five months from filing the petition

I believe that is it best to be honest during the entire process. If you give miss leading information, you don't want it to catch up with you later.

Hey vJ'ers

I also want to know if there is an "Official Word" on filipina heart.

Anyone have any documented proof that FH is not classified as a Marriage Broker?

I read once before the they were not, but many of us would like to know for sure.
