First of all, I would like to thank all the VJ members for the information they provide but I also would like to ask something about the interviews and especially the ones conducted in Casablanca.
In 2 weeks my husband will go for an interview in Casablanca and therefore I would like to know whether the fact that his brother is the one who introduced us to each others is a red flag? Does he have to state or not this fact if he is asked during his interview?

Thank you in advance.

Hello there. What is your concern with his brother introducing you two? Also, no matter what, your husband must always honestly and directly answer any questions asked during the interview. He doesn't need to give tons of unasked for detail - but he must tell the truth and not attempt to hide anything.

He should definitely tell the truth if asked how you met (and he probably will be asked). It could be a red flag, but don't try to hide it. He should emphasize how your relationship blossomed, the things you have in common, etc.

There is a thread in the Middle East/North Africa regional forum specifically about the consulate in Casa. You'll find a lot of good information there. Click here.

For my own better understanding, what would the red flag be in regards to the brother introducing them?

Thank you so much my friends for your precious advices, I just talked to my husband and told him that he has just to say the truth and does not have to hide nothing during his interview and especialy does not hide that he has some relatives in US.

Thanks.

Some people whose visas have been denied at the consulate level in Casablanca have suspected it was because of having a family member in the States. However...it is speculation at best. For Casablanca it appears to be a question of visa fraud. Did the family member in the States pay off the petitioner? Or...is the petitioner being used merely as a way to come to the States (since other routes are much more difficult from Morocco)?

Master M.

Ah, I see. Thanks for that explanation.
