I’m looking for a list of the dating services affected by the passing of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act. How are these sites officially categorized? If a site is global, is it affected, or is it limited to sites the specifically cater to individuals looking to import mates from outside the US? Do regulators have a comprehensive list of sites they are keeping tabs on or is it a “we’ll know it when we see it” situation? Email me at devans at corante dot com or leave a comment if you have any thoughts on the matter.

There is a first positive victory against IMBRA. It comes from one court and one judge. But it advances the cause against IMBRA, and offers the first legal basis to mount further successful challenges. A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER (TRO) against the U.S. Attorney General and the Justice Department from enforcing the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 (IMBRA) against an IMB in Georgia was issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta.
The Order was entered today, on March 08, 2006, with the Clerk’s Office for the U.S. District Court. It was signed on March 07, 2006 by Judge Clarence Cooper. This TRO Order enjoins the U.S. Attorney General and the Justice Department from enforcing IMBRA against the Plaintiff in the case at hand, European Connections & Tours, Inc., an IMB defined under the law, until such time as Government Attorneys from the Justice Department submit opposing argument and briefs at a hearing on a motion for PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, set for March 20, 2006 at 1:30 PM.
best thing to do is leave the usa & its idiotic politicians & feminists behind–both usa parties pushed this law—-how much more do you need to see–the usa is no place to have a normal marirage –try mexico venezuela brasil or colombia–at least in those countries men are not slaves to governments & feminists–get out of the stupid corrupt bush-clinton usa–you won’t miss it
I live in Europe where dating is more fun. The website at http://www.online-dating-rights.com has really matured. We are going after Senator Brownback of Kansas to stop his presidential election bid and reelection bid for 2008.
Journalists are starting to realize that his heavy support of IMBRA is something to analyze…and the analysis will destroy him politically if it gets a foothold.
What is with the snarky “looking to import mates” line? International dating sites are about dating, not marriage. Only 3% of people who write to each other on those sites ever even meet each other. If visa rules weren’t such that a lot of people have to marry someone in order that she gets to stay around where the man earns his money, then you have less a case of anyone looking to “import mates” so much as bizarre visa practices that remain in place because men don’t run the US anymore.
But to answer the question, Adultfriendfinder and other porn dating sites are apparently excluded because their primary business is not introducing Americans to foreigners per se.
