I compared the two i-129f forms and the only difference is the part B question 19 and part C question 2 and 3.. is there anythning else you can do other than wait for thr RFE?

Another thing, my fiance (the petitioner) was sent an RFE on June 10th, requesting security info, do you think this could be IMBRA?

sorry im overwhelmed!

It's not the only difference, actually. It's one of the differences.

From the form:

If you have filed two or more K-1 visa petitions at any time in the past or previously had a K-1 visa petition approved within two years prior to the filing of this petition, you must apply for a waiver. To request a waiver you must submit a written request with this petition accompanied by documentation of your claim to the waiver.

If you have committed a violent offense against a person or person, USCIS may not grant such a waiver unless you can demonstrate that extraordinary circumstances exist.

9. A. If you have ever been convicted of any of the following crimes, submit certified copies of all court and police records showing the charges and dispositions for every such conviction. This is required even if your records were sealed or otherwise cleared or if anyone, including a judge, law enforcement officer, or attorney, told you that you no longer have a record.

Domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, dating violence, elder abuse, and stalking.

Homicide, murder, manslaughter, rape, abusive sexual contact, sexual exploitation, incest, torture,

trafficking, peonage, holding hostage, involuntary servitude, slave trade, kidnapping, abduction,

unlawful criminal restraint, false imprisonment, or an attempt to commit any of these crimes.

Crimes relating to a controlled substance or alcohol on three or more occasions, and such crimes did not

arise from a single act.

NOTE: If your petition is approved, the information you submit regarding your criminal convictions will be

provided to the beneficiary of your petition pursuant to section 833(a)(5)(A)(iii) of the International Marriage

Broker Regulation Act of 2005.

B. If you are seeking a waiver of the filing limitations imposed by IMBRA, you must attach a signed and

dated request for the waiver, explaining why a waiver would be appropriate in you case, together with any

evidence in support of your request. Examples of such evidence include, but are not limited to: a death

certificate, police reports, news articles, or medical reports from a licensed medical professional, regarding

the death of an alien approved for a prior K visa.

If you have committed a violent offense and seek a waiver, you must attach a signed and dated request for

the waiver, together with evidence that extraordinary circumstances exist in your case, i.e., that you were

being battered or subjected to extreme cruelty by your spouse, parent, or adult child at the time you committed your violent offense(s), you were not the primary perpetrator of violence in the relationship, and:

You were acting in self-defense;

You violated a protection order intended for your protection; or

You committed, were arrested for, were convicted of, or plead guilty to committing a crime that did

not result in serious bodily injury and where there was a connection between the crime committed and

your having been battered or subjected to extreme cruelty.

Examples of such evidence include, but are not limited to:

Police reports;

Court records;

News articles;

Trial transcripts.

Aah, okay. So you got an IMBRA RFE. Well, hopefully they'll process it quickly! Good luck!
