I had 27 paid days plus bank holidays, so a 2 week trip was doable 3 times a year. I used to arrive back at 7am and go straight to the office!

We're a peculiar exception... visited about 5 times in 2006-2007 and then lived together 2007 - February 2011 ;-) Veeeery lucky.

Have any of you visited just once and gotten approved?

Just curious! Thanks :)

Yes I got a lot of official vacation also, However its a company cultural thing not to take weeks off at one time.

MoroColombia - Definately you should follow your dreams. However, you need to find out whether he can apply from England and stay there. That is very pertinent. Why not contact the Moroccan Embassy there? Moroccans are heavily screened and it is a challenge for them to get a visa to the U.S.A. That is just the way it is, I am afraid. If he was in Morocco, instead of England, and you got married the first time you met, they would consider this a red flag and they would request a great deal of evidence - the most important being how much time you spent together in person. I imagine this will be a red flag whether he is in England or Morocco, by the very fact that he is Moroccan. Everyone wants their SO here fast. There was a case of a couple recently, who were denied, and they had met in person and were applyling for K1. There have been cases where the couple are already married, for years, but they had spent time together, and they were denied. It is important to be realistic when dealing with Morocco.

Take a look at the following interviews that were posted from the Moroccan Consulate Reviews for Morocco

And very bad Risk Management.
