INS REPORTS ON "MAIL-ORDER BRIDES" AND IMMIGRATION
As required by the 1996 Immigration Act, the INS has issued a report to Congress on the rapidly growing mail-order bride industry. A great deal of attention has been placed on the issue of mail order brides and domestic violence. Interestingly, less than 1 percent of cases involved marriage fraud that could be linked to the mail order bride industry.
The report also indicated the following: 
More than 300 international matchmaking organizations operated in the United States in 1998 
These organizations bring together 4,000 to 5,000 couples yearly who marry and petition for the immigration of the female spouse to this county. 
Most of the women are Filipina or from newly independent states of the Former Soviet Union. 
The new report is linked on our web site in our Documents Collection at http://www.visalaw.com/docs/.
