Thanks for you and moderator. I already understand the concept of IMB very well. My interest is not for further clarification.

My question and interest is still as stated from the start. Has anyone since October admitted to using an IMB AND had no consent form from the IMB.

It sounds like ALL IMB's deny being an IMB, and ALL petitioners answer no to the question.

I wonder how will the couple that does admit to an IMB will be treated. I was hoping with someone with

actual experience to share what happened in their case.

Has anyone used an IMB and admitted to it?

Has any IMB followed the law and obtained consents?

Please REPLYS from anyone who has actually had the experience.

Thanks for your reply. With all respect, there are plenty of posts that argue what is an IMB or not. I am not looking to join that debate.

I am asking for feedback from someone who actually honestly stated they had met using an IMB, and also

honestly did not have any consent proof.

Is there anyone out there? who has actually filed since October with these answers?

Did USCIS notice ? did the consulate notice?

My friends met online, using a website that matches the definition of an International marriage broker.

They answered "YES, we met using the services of an International marriage broker" on question #35

#35a. Asks them to include a copy of the signed consent (which they don't have) with their petition.

They did not have one, but submitted their petition last week anyway.

I am hoping for some feedback from members who actually submitted their 129f petitions after October

when the form was changed, to let us know what to expect.

If you said yes, to 35, but did not have any proof of consent, what has happened to your petition?

have you been approved, or pending, or rfe, or denied, or what effect by admitting

to using an IMB, which did not follow the rules, have your experienced?

Is #35 just a paper tiger, or is the DOS or USCIS doing ANY enforcement?

If you have any actuall, recent experience, please share what happened.

We have been planning on submitting the Fiancee Visa petition for a long time.

Our g-325a's and Letter of Intent were prepared and signed one year ago.

Can we still use these? Or must we provide new signatures and dates?

What is the maximum time difference allowed between the dates the g-325a and Letters of Intent

were signed, and the I-129f can be submitted?

No we have no changes on the forms. We wanted to save the time and money to mail new copies.

If someone has gotten an RFE for this, please advise.

If someone knows the guidelines for how long the dated form is still valid (assuming the info is correct) please advise.

Use the adoption BC (which is the current LEGAL one)... If you use the other BC then there is no immediate family relationship to your wife and you and then child would not be able to immigrate

Thanks. I understand to use the New BC. I think my question was not clear.

I want to know if it is a good idea to just use the new BC, which shows

my wife as the mother.

Or use the new BC, PLUS tell the entire adoption story, and attach

copies of all the custody and court records, AND their original birth certificates.

I am concerned that only presenting the new BC may be considered an incomplete answer, but presenting

the entire story may be too much information.

Anyone have this situation? What did you do? How did it work out?

I am a USC

I am applying for my wife who I married a year ago.

Her sister had died, 4 years ago, and my wife became

the legal custodian guardian of the both children.

She applied to adopt, and it has taken many years

for the court to approve.

The court has approved the adoption, and has

issued new birth certificates for both children, showing

my wife as the Mother, and the father as unknown.

My question is.

Can we just use the current birth certificate, and show

my wife as the Mother for the G-325a and I-130. Which is

exactly what the BC says.

Or must we use the biologicals mothers name, and biological

fathers name from the original birth certificate, and show all the

court records, etc to trace from their birth to their adoption.

Ideally we would just like to use the new BC and save

all of the trouble.

What should we do?

The bank is listed in the K visa appointment instruction package. It says to pay $350 at the Bank Helm which as yakad said, it is the authorized bank in Colombia to process the visa payment. Also, disregard the "$350" fee it says you should pay because it is still $131.

US State Department has proposed to raise the price to $350. Currently this is in the "comments" phase.

The embassy in Bogota writes their appointment package once a year or less frequently. I think the author decided to anticipate the price increase when he released the document (dated Feb 2010). If the price doesn't go up, petitioners wouldn't complain too much. But if he wrote $131 planning to leave the document unchanged for another year, petitioners expecting $131 and required to pay $350 would riot.

My wife and I are embarking on the K3 visa petition.

She has a daughter who we plan to petition with a K4 for.

The daughter is 17 now, and will be 18 in a few months, well before the consular interview

can be scheduled.

My wife has been the sole custodial parent for most of the daughters life, however

the actual divorce papers do not specify she has full support rights. And we would

rather not have to track down the father if we can avoid it.

So the question is: what is the maximum age that the dependent is still considered a Child

in China, what is the maximum age that we need to get the fathers written

permission? Is it 21, 18 or what?

Please advise.
