Guidance on Use of Revised Alien Fiance(e) Petition (NEW Form I-129F)
06/16/2006
USCIS published a revised form of the Alien Fiance(e) Petition (Form I-129F) which complies with the requirements of the International Marriage Brokers Regulation Act of 2005 (IMBRA). AILA's VSC Liaison has learned that, although the Service will accept the old form through July 14, 2006, it is strongly encouraged that new form be used immediately. If the old form is used between now and July 14, RFE's may be issued in order to collect the additional information required pursuant to the new statutory and regulatory requirements. Beginning July 15, the old form will be rejected.
