You guys are missing a big part of this:
Does ANYONE see ANYWHERE in that bill ANY provision to protect men from women who come here to goldig or to dump their husbands?

Shirly! You jest?
NOTE- SECTIONS ONLY SEC. 8. GOOD FAITH MARRIAGES.
The fact that an alien who is in the United States on a visa under clause (i) or (iii) of section 101(a)(15)(K) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(K)) is aware of the criminal background of a client (as defined in section 652 of the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act, 1997 (8 U.S.C. 1375)) cannot be used as evidence that the marriage was not entered into in good faith.
`(c) OBLIGATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE BROKER WITH RESPECT TO INFORMED CONSENT- An international marriage broker shall not provide any personal contact information about any foreign national client, not including photographs, to any person unless and until the international marriage broker has--
`(1) provided the foreign national client with information in his or her native language that explains the rights of victims of domestic violence in the United States, including the right to petition for residence independent of, and without the knowledge, consent, or cooperation of, the spouse; and
`(2) received from the foreign national client a signed consent to the release of such personal contact information.
(2) the requirement that international marriage brokers provide foreign national clients with responses of clients to questions regarding the client's domestic violence history and marital history, but that such information may not be accurate;
(3) the right of an alien who is or whose children are subjected to domestic violence or extreme cruelty by a United States citizen spouse or legal permanent resident spouse, to self-petition for legal permanent immigration status under the Violence Against Women Act independently of, and without the knowledge, consent, or cooperation of, such United States citizen spouse or legal permanent resident spouse;
The formula for gold digging, fraudulent immigration, and legal protection of it is all right there!
Not to mention-In My Humble Opinion- new rules in DIRECT CONFLICT with the oft cited "ones past dosen't matter" crap that is founding logic for current "Rape shield laws" that only apply to females.
`(B) Any court ordered restriction on physical contact with another person, including any temporary or permanent restraining order or civil protection order.
`(C) Marital history, including if the person is currently married, if the person has previously been married and how many times, how previous marriages were terminated and the date of termination, and if the person has previously sponsored an alien to whom the person has been engaged or married.
`(D) The ages of any and all children under the age of 18.
`(E) All States in which the client has resided since the age of 18.
