Not quite.

An IMB must do certain checks on the background of USCs using their service before giving a foreign national's contact information to the USC. Clearly this background check will occur irrespective of whether or not there will eventually be a K visa application, and

Any USC who files an I-129f petition must disclose certain criminal background information to USCIS, which will pass the information on to DoS, which will confirm that the visa applicant is aware of the information in the course of the visa interview.

Good Luck, I hope what you'll cook turns out delicious for you'll and teach the lusty fellow a lesson.

I am pleased to see that.

Repeat earlier observation: The movie "War Of The Roses" was a comedy.

New observation directed at others at others: A good family lawyer needs to be assertive. That is not the same as "mean [and] vicious."

Bluegrass Lass

Oh, but mean and vicious is what this a-hole really deserves.

I've heard of that movie, but don't think I've ever seen it.

Here's the link to the story about Paula Lucas who founded Americans Overseas Domestic Violence Crisis Center.

Query: No doubt. However, is this what Created needs???

SunF:

A mean and vicious counsel may not be able to deliver successful litigation in favor of the poster. When 2 mad bulls collide little flies get killed.

An assertive fellow could get in some mean and vicious results for the rogue ex, and a clean divorce for the OP.

S Folinsky

Mea culpa. I did not mean to be repetitive, redundant, or to say those two words more than once.

Good point. So now we have 3 qualifications.

That might be true but on the I-129F it asks if you met through a dating agency or marriage broker. Why would it ask you that if they were doing a check anyway? There has to be some significance to that question. As I understand it, IMBRA law was specifically targeted at marriage brokers and agencies not individual personal contact. Maybe Mr. F can shed some light?

B,

The source that you yourself referenced tells us the IMBRA establishes a number of requirements, not all of which are associated the use of an IMB.

I'd make a visit to the local police department to get help and protection to go to the house and collect your possessions including vehicles in your name only, you could sell the cars to pay the divorce lawyer
Sounds like an episode of Peoples court, Let Judge Judy at him, or is it Judge Millian now?

I wish it were that simple! When I had the temporary protection, before the protection hearing, the advocate did not tell me that I could not collect my things before the actual hearing, so armed with my temporary protection order, I tried to get law enforcement to help me retrieve my stuff, and wasted a whole weekend, in the end the police offered to collect a suit that I needed for an interview, and my daughter's medication.

I was only allowed to go to the house once with the sheriffs. He had packed my stuff up into 4 boxes, the judge asked me if that was ok, and I said I wanted to see what was left in the house (the Sherif is supposed to do a walk through with me). There was more stuff still in the house than he had packed - I guess he thought I was playing! He did not let me take several items and I could not challenge him on it.

I was in a shelter for 2 months, so it was the end of December/January before I realized that things were missing. I returned to court once for a contempt hearing when did not turn over some of my jewelry. That did not go very well, he played the fool and the judge bought it. Although he was ordered to return duplicate car key for my honda and a ring, or jail time.

I was told to wait for the divorce to get big stuff, like my treadmill, but he's listing it as my debt, but no mention that it is in his possession.

I'm going to see a lawyer tomorrow, so let's see what he advises. I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. I've come too far for that Besides....I was a fool to get involved with him, and he's not worth anymore of my time than is necessary to get this mess sorted out.

Beginning to feel like a comedy of errors to me! I remember that movie now - I really don't need all that drama and negative energy. From what I remember nobody won!
