We are new on this Journey but we are willing to do and wait as long as it takes. Any suggestions, advice, answers are a blessing as we begin this Journey together... Thanks in advance for the response!

Here's Our Story... Morocco LOVES Colombia :)

We meet on the once popular Myspace! From all those people online we found each other with a click on the browse button; a sec would have made a difference of never meeting but we both believe it was meant to be... Love at first "site" :) We have talked since Aug, 2007... Because of our age at the time and our focus on school, we kept our relationship long distance. It was the only thing we could do and I also lost my Father. For those reasons we have never been able to meet in person but... I became a U.S. Citizen I am from Colombia and he is Moroccan but currently living in the U.K. now on a Student Visa for 2 years. We never lost touch and we have been glued to the computer for each other ever since and have grown closer and closer. Before anything we are best friends and he is a blessing in my life. On Aug, 2011 we decided to take our relationship to another level and we have decided to get married. Now 26 he 25. I am currently waiting on my U.S. Passport and I plan to travel to the U.K. and get married with him there. We have kept records of messages since 2007, pictures, money transfers, gifts, letters, and I'm currently having trouble getting my phone records of him calling me long distance with my Metro phone... :(IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF OBTAINING THESE RECORDS PLEASE SHARE SUGGESTIONS...) TNK :) He's talked to my Mother and Family through Skype and asked for my hand in marriage and recorded that meeting. We plan to record the first time we meet at the airport and also of course the formal proposal in person. :)!!! AND The civil marriage it's self as proof for (K-3)... if that is the best route for us to take instead of the (K-1)?

1) I'm not sure what is best for our situation. He's been living in the U.K. for 2 years on a student visa, will that favor us in any kind of way?

2) I think that asking for him as a Fiance (K-1) would be a little bit more difficult or take longer? Since we haven't met each other yet... Does this mean I have to wait a while to file for him after we meet or I can file right away...?

"You met each other, in person, at least once within 2 years of filing your petition. There are two exceptions that require a waiver:

1. If the requirement to meet would violate strict and long-established customs of your or your fiancé(e)'s foreign culture or social practice.

2. If you prove that the requirement to meet would result in extreme hardship to you"

WHAT DOES THIS STATEMENT REALLY MEAN... IT'S A LIL CONFUSING FOR ME SORRY...

(K-3)

3) I want to know when we meet in the U.K. get married and I'm planning on staying with him for like 3-4 months there; will that will be enough time to apply for him as my spouse (there at the U.S. Embassy) ? or I need to come back here and have to file from Georgia?

4) Will he have to leave the U.K. and go to Morocco at any point since he is there in school and can lose his visa and not finish school?

WE JUST WANT THE FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE AND THE ONE THAT MIGHT MAKE US WAIT A LIL LONGER FOR HIS LEGAL STATUS TO CHANGE BUT WILL ALLOW US TO BE TOGETHER IN THE PROCESS... DON'T WE ALL WANT TAHT! :)

GOD BLESS!

THANK YOU!

HERE WE GO!

You said having trouble to tracked the record of your phone calls. Also, you said, that you regularly use Skype for talk. I did not say you need to switch your phone, but I would give an advise based on my experience .

I use Skype unlimited plan subscription to call my fiance when we are both not online. I usually call him during lunch break from work, when he worked at late night, or when he travel to another states. It kept records all calls. You can also let your fiance calling you through Skype by activate call forwarding. You just need to buy credit for this service separate from unlimited plan service. Good luckgood.gif. For another questions of you, I do not eligible to answer them, Lol.innocent.gif

You will more than likely not be granted any waiver of meeting your fiancee since he is from Morocco. Even people who have met their men many times are often not granted a visa sometimes when the SO is from Morocco.

Whether you marry him here or there is your personal decision. But an online relationship is not the same as a physically present and seeing you daily in person type relationship. My advice is go meet him and then decide. Best wishes to you in your decision.

I wish I would have known this a year and half ago lol He's calls me everyday long distance but we keep all the records of messages on Skype and Yahoo. I will suggest that he calls me from Skype and see how that goes even though I plan on going to the U.K. for 4 months in November! :)

Thank you so much! God Bless! smile.gif
