OK... so my MENA friends... my husband has a job offer to go to Spain... it takes 3 months to become a citizen. Will that help or hurt bringing him here????

Since Spain is open for Travel to and fro the U.S. He can visit but I started his I130 with him in Casablanca.

Heeeellp i so want to see him but i don't want this to put us back any either.

Thanks in advance for your help

It will complicate things; if you married in Morocco, he will still need to return there for his interview and submit police reports from Spain. If he becomes a Spanish citizen, you'll need to start over again.

I'm a bit biased tho. I love Spain and plan for us to move there, too.

Its takes 3 months to become a legal resident, and not a citizen. The fact that he is working in Spain will not change a thing about traveling to the US. He will still need a visa and will have to jump thru the same hoops as if he was a applying from Morocco. The fact that he is the beneficiary of a pending I-130 application would almost assure that he could not visit the US. If you could change the interview to Madrid instead of some consulate from hell in Morocco would be a good idea. Easy Embassy to deal with if you have everything in order. He would need to be a legal resident for Spain for 6 months before you could use the US Consulate in Madrid.

the only thing that will make things hard that he will have to get police record from spain too

You know that's funny cause that's always been my dream... My grandmother is originally from Spain so moving there would be amazing. But I do have kids from another marriage and we agreed that we would stay in the U.S. until they got older. Some day...

Anyway, not sure if that clears anything up but yeah casa's consulate isn't the best but it sounds like he'll still have to go there for his interview. and bring his police records from Spain.

Thanks everyone
