Depending on how many cases are in line for interview dates before yours will dictate how long you will wait. I don't think you made the Sep list interview dates as dates are issued through the second Friday of the month at the embassy. I anticipate you will get an Oct date assigned no later than September 13 unless they have a huge number of cases awaiting an interview before yours. The average is 45 to 60 days from the date sent from NVC... Good luck,

They are about to change how the non-immigrant interviews are scheduled. http://morocco.usembassy.gov/visas/nonimmigrant-visas.html Your fiance's interview may need to be scheduled through this new system. I am not 1000% positive... There's another recent post that another K-1 couple posted some input on (Tayri & Tudert - I am spelling that wrong, maybe) http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/451058-us-tourist-visa-for-moroccan-in-casablanca-help/

Good luck!

edit: Tayri & Tudert have their own post somewhere about the change, too
