my husband went to his interview on Monday. She was there for four and a half hours. I am here in Texas because I could not be there for the interview because of work. All of the government officials from the USCIS to the NVC to the embassy in Casablanca have all agreed to expedite my case because of the need for me to have two major surgeries. In addition to that I am also bipolar with panic disorder severe depression and PSTD. Based on my medical reasons all departments have agreed that my case should be expedited. During his interview on Monday he had the older nice white American man and my husband did his interview in English. He came on a k1 visa and when he got here did not get along with his fiance and his fiance's mother drove him to Oklahoma where he had a cousin. He helped out at his cousin's car wash to make money enough to come down here to Houston where we met. As I am sure we are not the only one to have made the mistake of not knowing what I 94 is we make sure he returned with a hundred and eighty days of his visa. However that is incorrect since immigration only gave him 90 days and therefore he is banned for 3 years. The consular ask to see pictures of us and to see if there were any pictures and he had from when I have been there 4 times now since we have been married on February 23rd of 2013. He asked my husband three different times the date that we met and of course he knew the date. He also asked why did he not marry his fiance if they were already ok and everything was well in Casablanca. My husband explained that he she only came during the holidays to visit and of course everything was good when she was only visiting for a short amount of time as she was the sister to one of his best friends. When he came here to America she was abusive and alcoholic and said that she could be that way even though she was Muslim because she lives here in America. None the less I had sent my husband in with a full ream of paper from our chat on messages over the last year. I also sent with him all the documents that they requested of course including the original birth certificate and marriage license in addition to the letters I had sent him and all of my medical doctors notes. I also sent him with a letter from my boss stating that I'm about to lose my job because my performance has dropped since the pain has increased and gotten worse because I have pre cancer in addition to official of that leads to my tailbone with other problems within my bladder and ####### canal as well. I find it so hard to believe that they did not give him the visa even though he overstayed but I understand that ignorance of the law does not excuse one from being held accountable to the law. My question now is why would they call him back for a second interview? I posted on a lawyer's website and every single one of them said it could be a good thing or a bad thing so I am so confuse and any help would be appreciated. Has anyone else had a situation similar to this. I have already filed my 601 waiver and has already arrived because I had it overnighted and I also sent in an expedite request with my 601 waiver.

so sorry for the typos I am using my text to voice on my phone

Waiver mailed January 17th

Waiver received January 18th

Waiver received from Phoenix to Nebraska Center January 27th

this is for a 601 waiver no lawyer assistance and the reason for the expedite is because I need two surgeries one is pre cancer related in addition to I am also bipolar with PSTD and panic disorder and severe depression.

How fast did you get married after you met your husband? If it was really quick (within the 6 months of entering on the K1), then it may seem like he married you for a greencard.

May 2: I-751 received

May ??? NOA1

May 12: Check cashed

May 31: Biometrics appointment scheduled

we got married 11 months after he was here we were married five months after we met each other. I know it seems kind of fast but I've been ready for quite a while to find the love of my life. He is my soulmate that is for sure. When we first were discussing how to get him home sooner with my father my dad said why don't you just marry the other woman that way you can stay here. But my husband said no way I will never marry that woman I need to do this the right way and I need to be able to go home and see my elderly grandmother and my dad he was diabetic if need be.

You mentioned lawyer so presumably the lawyer had mentioned the likely issues you would have.

To be honest it would be a big ask for a simple approval with a back story like that.

There is no way he would not have known about the 90 day requirement even if you did not.

Most unlikely they doubt your intentions.

The expedites got your case heard sooner, they have no impact on the result.

The waiver only comes into play if he is otherwise approvable.

so, on interview day, he was eligible for a 3 year ban, based on the 180 day overstay? is that right?

and you filed the waiver when?

She has a waiver prepared. But not an approved visa subject to a waiver.

He just called me with the results from his second interview and he had it with the nice lady he said that she was very sweet. Basically he felt like they're trying to ask second Interviews because he is in Morocco and because of all the problems with the ISIS is recruiting Moroccans and they want to make sure that they are not coming over for terrorism especially since he overstayed but they asked him more questions about his ex fiance, why he couldn't come back because he didn't have the money, etc. They asked him what his plan was when he does come here and he told them of course it was to take care of me after the surgery and she asked him what were his plans after that and he told them that he wants me to stay at home while he works because the job that I have is too hard on me and it's half the reason for the need for these surgeries that I've had over the last few years anyway. They asked him why I don't move to Morocco and basically I have a daughter who right now is staying with my ex husband because I can't take care of her, because I am so sick plus I don't really speak Moroccan Arabic and my French isn't that good because I only took a few years of it in high school. So I don't know what I would do for income. Since my health is so bad there is no way I could survive over there because they do not have the technological advances nor the doctor that I need and then we're trying right now for my surgery I would lose my health benefits and my health insurance. The company I have been with for 10 years now I get four weeks of vacation as well as insurance and things like that. I also have 401k and I also have a house that I have a lien on until next until next month because I was given a grant from the government. he said the interview went really well and she asked do you have any questions and he asked about is there any way that he could get a b1 and b2 visa long enough just to come over and take care of me but she said she did not know we would have to ask a lawyer but to wait and go ahead and apply for the waiver. He told her that he I had already done it and that it cost around $500 and she said yes that is correct so both of the interviews he went to they told him to make sure that we go and apply for the waiver as soon as possible to get the surgery done. When he offered her to look at the papers for my doctors at least this woman was nice enough to look at them but the first interview the man did not want to.
