With that in mind, I called CSC to ask for clarification. The woman I spoke to, if you can call speaking to someone you can't understand a conversation, indicated that meeting someone from online, paid or not, constitutes a marriage broker.

By CSC you mean the NCSC number. Definately goes to show why this is called the misinformation line. What a load of crock.

My bad, I didn't explain well enough. I tried calling the Laguna Niguel phone number listed on the bottom of the RFE cover sheet, but the number was disconnected and there was no forwarding information. I called the (800) 375-5283 number listed in the instruction portion of the RFE sheet and was connected to someone who answered that they were from the California Service Center.

Regarding questions 2 and 3, I asked why there was no "No or N/A" checkbox, and she told me that I would have to explain the answer to those questions on a separate piece of paper, in addition to explaining Question 1.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Hello,

As many others here, I'm confused by the wording of the definition of what constitutes an International Marriage Broker. I've seen all of the arguments on this forum that go one way or another, and they're all convincing.

With that in mind, I called CSC to ask for clarification. The woman I spoke to, if you can call speaking to someone you can't understand a conversation, indicated that meeting someone from online, paid or not, constitutes a marriage broker. We met at a free online site that was not expressly for the purposes of marriage between US citizens and foreigners.

Has anyone else contacted their service center regarding having met on online sites, and what were they told?

Best regards
