Foriegn woman in this scenario is not held to background check.
Online dating company not compliant with this legislation can be sued for $5k-25k fine and its executives could do up to 5 years in prison... Should a match of two decide to formalize their union the woman will not be afforded a fiancee/spousal visa to enter the United States. This applies to absolutely any woman from anywhere outside the United States. Yes, even Canada!
