K-1's are for fiancees. You can petition on a case-by-case basis for the U.S. citizen to not have met his bride, but otherwise it follows the same standard of documentation. You've still got to have personal info. The exemption only covers things like arranged marriages, but those people still have to go through the screening process. It only exempts the requirement that the bride/groom have met.

* You (the petitioner) are a U.S. citizen.
* You intend to marry within 90 days of your fiancé(e) entering the United States.
* You and your fiancé(e) are both free to marry and any previous marriages must have been legally terminated by divorce, death, or annulment.
* You met each other, in person, at least once within 2 years of filing your petition. There are two exceptions that require a waiver:
1. If the requirement to meet would violate strict and long-established customs of your or your fiancé(e)’s foreign culture or social practice.
2. If you prove that the requirement to meet would result in extreme hardship to you.
There's no "muslim" exception.

You want to stop terrorist from coming in? Fund current immigration laws, increase intelligence spending.
I am well versed in the k-1 process. The culture exception is nonsense .
