Adjudication of Civil Penalties Against International Marriage Brokers
This interim final rule ("IFR") amends Department of Justice ("Department") regulations to specify the procedures for adjudicating alleged violations of the International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 ("IMBRA") by international marriage brokers ("IMBs") doing business in the United States that fail to provide required information to persons recruited for matchmaking services or that improperly disclose prohibited information. This IFR is necessary to deter fraudulent marriages and the exploitation of immigrants recruited by IMBs.
