Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing the K-1 Fiancé Visa and IMBRA. IMBRA is the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. Now IMBRA was once really, really relevant because we actually had international marriage brokers; that was like a business. The advent of social media or I should say the spread of social media and sort of the ubiquitousness if you will of social media kind of killed that. It put us into a situation where, yeah no longer did we have these international marriage brokers, so that's not really part of the analysis anymore in most cases regarding K-1 Fiancé Visas. 

That said, under the provisions of that Act, there are rules with regard to a cap on the number of K-1 Visa applications one can apply for before they need to apply for a waiver. So there was a time when it was argued the K-1 Visa application process was sort of abused because people would file like many, many of them and they would bring over different people to the United States, utilize the 90 days, and then send them back home which is legal, but it kind of went against the spirit if you will of the law regarding K-1 Fiancé Visas. I remember actually there was a Dateline. Stone Phillips was on it talking about the K-1 Fiancé Visa process and shortly thereafter, they passed these laws. That said, one of the laws is if you are dealing with multiple filings of K-1 Visas you may need to file a waiver pursuant to IMBRA in order to ultimately find a successful conclusion to a possible later petition for K-1 Visa benefits. 

So the thing to take away from this video is to understand, if you filed in the past for K-1 Visas before, that may have an impact on future petitions for a K-1 Visa, especially a K-1 Visa from here in the Kingdom of Thailand.
