Congratulations, Princess! :dance: :dance: I was thinking of you this morning and hoping you were having an easy time. I knew it! Agree with the others that it will be harder on the men, so I'm working hard to make sure my husband's paperwork and evidence of our bona fides is iron clad. Plus I'll be there and will have alerted my congressman that I may need to contact him if we have any problems.

I'm still confused about the translations issue. I emailed the Consulate last week about the U.S. vs. Moroccan English translations - they didn't answer my question, just said they have to be sworn translations, which I already knew. I emailed them again today to try to get a similar response to the one they sent to Rosie, i.e. "If the translations are required for immigrant visa purposes, they need to be from a sworn translator, regardless of the origin." I want that in writing to me! I paid over $200 to get these translations done here in the U.S. that are 100% guaranteed to be acceptable to the State Dept. I cannot for the life of me understand why only Moroccan English translations would be acceptable, but of course I will do it if necessary - we are at their mercy. :blink:

Also, my husband's court record and birth certificate don't have an expiry date, only the police record does. So I wonder why those girls' records were out of date. :whistle:

Again, congrats, and all the best with your travel plans.

thanks for everyone

mabrouk sis i do have one question did u pay for visa i mean cr1 visa ???and if it is ok remind us about the qustion in the interview and thank you

if you are a cr1 you don't have to pay for the visa because you already did when you paid 400$ to NVC

as for the questions , they were expected and really easy

she asked me

what's your husband's name ?

when did you meet ?

how did you meet ?

how many times he came to visit you?

how long was every visit??

why didn't he stay for a long time?

did he like Morocco?

did he come back after the wedding?

when he came did he brought gifts for you?

is your husband divorced?

when did he get divorced?

how long was his previous marriage?

do you know why they divorced?

does he have any children?

did you talked to them?

they know your are their stepmother??

what does he do for job?

where?

what does this company do?

what does is he like to do in his free time?

what are you planning to do once there?

then i asked her if she wanted to see the pictures, she said yes and looked at some and then she told me that we look happy together and she said i can come back tomorrow to pickup my passport with the visa :star:

wish you good luck

Hicham13, one thing you must be aware of is that the interview process is completely different for Moroccan females then it is for the males.

i tottaly agree

Make sure you have all 3yrs worth of taxes, and all the proof that you need. It's sad how the consulate discriminates against the males. I have been watching the trend on how they do the males vs the females and it is a stark contrast. The females are so happy when they leave out of the interviews but the consulate officers drain the life out of Moroccan males. That is a clear case of sexism, and discrimination.

even females get denied so it's not a matter of male female descriminations but the consulate needs to be sure that this person is not commiting fraud either a female or male

and you should be well prepared, i was well prepared, i had my phone calls history since june 2008 and messenger history since june 2008, western union reciepts, letters and post cards, 2008 tax transcripts as my husband already sent 2005-2006-2007 to NVC... i had all the necessary evidences and i was ready to show them to the CO is she asked about them

You should be confident and answer the questions honestly and if you are married to an american and you only communicate in english, try to improve your english skills before the interview because it will be weird for them that the beneficiary can not communicate easily in english knowing that it's the language of communication with the benificiary

be prepared...get your visa :thumbs:

thanks so much vivian, good luck for your husband's interview... be sure that he has all the evidences with him

it's really good that you will be there for his interview ,it will be a great support for him, i wished my husband was here for my interview

as for translations, one of the girls who was requested to bring new documents because the ones they had were already expired, was told that the translations her husband made in usa are not acceptable because they only accept translation from moroccan sworn translators

and for the documents if they are made more than 3 months ago that means they are expired , so better prepare new ones, and if they ask to make moroccan translations, it easy to do it, there are translators around the consulate, you can do the translations in less than 30mn and the cost of translations for the 3 papers is 300dhs

good luck and welcome to Morocco

and if you need any help, just ask me, i live in Casablanca
