I am SOOOOO lucky to be here in Marrakech with my fiance. The weather is great ---not as hot right now as I feared. I am so lucky to be able to stay here a whole month.
Anyway---here is a question. We applied for our I-129 April 7, 2007. The petition is still in CA of course. If we got married when I hope to come back in Sept. will that mess up our I-129 if he has not had his interview yet?
OR If he has had his interview and we have been denied the visa can we immediately reapply for spousal visa?
OR if the papers are sent back for further review what would happen if we got married then?
Just wondering what our options are.
Thanks for any and all help....Debbie and Hamid
Full Version: Hi to everybody from Marrakech
Bonne chance with Casa!
Hi Debbie,
You are lucky to be in Morocco! I would give anything to be there too.
. I will be going to Marrakech next month. The weather will probably be unbearable by that time.
I don't know why you would want to get married and withdraw your K1 visa. From what I can see they are the visas that produce the speediest results. I think you should give it some time and see where the K1 takes you. You will probably find out that you will be getting your K1 interview before you even go back to Morocco in September. Don't automatically assume the worst!
Best of luck to you and your fiance, and enjoy your time together.

Thanks for the encouragement...we are worried about age difference and length of relationship being red flags. We are not getting our hopes up because of casas reputation...I read half are denied...BUT we are hoping for a blessing/miracle. We will see...
I wouldn't let the age difference get you down. There have been a lot of people who have gotten the K1 with quite a hefty age difference. What is going to look good on your part is that you have been back to visit since you filed the petition. That shows proof of an ongoing relationship. It would be great if you could work out another visit around the time of his interview. I too have been going every 3 to 3 1/2 months. We hope that it will go in our favor(fingers crossed).

Yes I am lucky to be a teacher at a year round school..but the question is whether my money will hold out. I am planning to come back every break if I can...the next one being Sept then Dec.. Do the people in casa really think we would do all this for nothing????

don't get married! then you'd have to start all over. keep with the k-1 and see how it turns out........ have a GREAT TIME! and take tons of photos and keep all your hotel receipts, train/bus, etc. you can use those in his interview in the future! 
yay!!!!!!!!
yay!!!!!!!!
I consulted a lawyer after my first visit and she told me that chances were slim of him getting here on K-1 because of the age difference. So, I went for 'sure thing', we got married - still waiting for him after 2 years of being married! Go figure who's right!
Good luck and have a nice visit!
