i129f k1 fiance visa filing

[JSFA9916 0]

Hello:)

 

So... I am hoping you guys can help me out as my fiance and I are confused on what to put in as the province when it comes to his mailing address...

He lives in a neighborhood called Tanja Balia in Tangier, Morocco... postal code is 90000... I'm assuming Morocco has provinces; however my fiance doesnt understand what this word means, nor am I too familiar with it being I am from the US and the US doesnt have provinces. hahaha... At first my fiance told me its the same as his city (tangier) because thats what his brother told him.... I told my fiance that I didnt think so... then he came up with Malabata somehow... then he said that malabata is incorrect and now says its tanger - assilah.... but he is still unsure... i googled "tanger-assilah" and it comes up as "tangier-assilah prefecture of morocco"... i dont know what prefecture is... if its the same or not as a province... so that makes two of us still unsure...

 

can someone enlighten us as to whether he lives in a location of a province? We dont want to fill in incorrect information... we just have it blank for now...

 

also, is the province even necessary? I have mailed him a package without his address stating any province and he received the package without any problem... would it be okay to just leave the province box blank?

 

thanks for helping us

We didn't list the province (just left it blank) in our I-129F petition and we were recently approved with no issue. My fiancé lives in a specific neighborhood part of the larger city of Salé, and we just listed the name and number of his street and put Salé as the city. The Casablanca consulate will email the instructions and materials to you and your fiancé once you reach that point in the visa process, so no need to worry about any documents getting lost in the mail due to the address.

I see that you made this post as a reply to my comment in your other post  

 

In my case, we did write "Tangier Assilah" and we got approved. Provence/Prefecture is almost the same in Morocco, it means "Jiha" in Arabic (Jihat or Wilayat Tanjah Assilah).

 

But as mentioned above, you can just leave it blank if you're unsure. Better safe than sorry.

according to the internet it is Tangier-Tetanoun

angier Assilah was the old name before it aquired el Hocimine

I think you mean Tangier-Tetouan and Al-Hoceima  

 

Better leave it blank then. Malabata is certainly not correct.
