Need Help/Tourist Visa/k1

[Hobidyali 267]

Don't do a visitor visa as it will not be approved, go for k1, you have a high chance since you're the beneficiary and normally it's the man who typically gets denied. I would send the application now and not waste more time. Goodluck.

Same religion, male is older & a USC, as well as female is childberaing age, and Moroccan. Very different circumstances than most cases going through the Moroccan US Consulate, I would say you stand a decent chance of getting a K1, but just to avoid any risk, I would advise you to marry & file for a CR-1 instead.

Exactly, I do not think that there would be a denial, for all of the reasons you mentioned and also because they have known eachother for three years. Either one would be okay I think .

If you try for a tourist visa the Consular will ask you if you and your boyfriend have plans to get married.  If you answer Yes, you WILL be rejected and they will tell you to apply for a fiance visa.

Your best opportunity is the getting married and filing the CR1 visa.  Like it has been pointed out K1 visa are hard to get.  Just compare the numbers in the reports.

 

CR1 does take longer but is has better success and is cheaper in fees. If it gets denied you can appeal.  Plus you don't have to wait for a green card and you can travel right away.

If you are successful in getting the tourist visa, you'll have the option of marrying in the US and then return to Morocco and do the CR-1. Check out thread below:

Below is an analysis by @missileman:

This is my analysis of a K-1 vs a CR-1:

K-1

• More expensive than CR-1
• Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)
• Spouse can not leave the US until she receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-4 months)
• Spouse can not work until she receives EAD (approx 3-4 months)
• Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period.
• Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.

CR-1

• Less expensive than K-1
• No AOS required.
• Spouse can immediately travel outside the US
• Spouse can start work if desired
• Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card withing 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US
• Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

All-in-all, the CR-1 is superior to the K-1 imo.

CR-1 is vastly superior, cheaper overall and the spouse can work & travel immediately, as well as the clock for ROC & citizenship starts to count immediately vs waiting up to a year after marriage for a GC following K-1 & marriage.

This is true, CR1 is definitely the cheaper and better option of the two but in terms of approval, I believe that the chance of approval of a K1 in her case is good.

Yes. With the CR-1 the legal marriage can occur anywhere in the world (US, Morocco, Canada, etc.)

What would the advantage be to getting married in Canada?  It will not make the overall process any faster than if you get married in Morocco. And you will still have to wait out the 12 month processing time in Morocco, and have your interview there.

Yeah I know that but to wait when when my fiance can be free is hard... Is not easy for him,  full schedule... So that's why if I get Canada visa(not sure) we get married there and we send our cr1 package... In Meantime we can travel together, meet in Canada...

Well of course.  There are any number of countries where you could meet to marry and have a vacation.  

[Hobidyali 267]

Unfortunately, there's no way to make the process faster, you can do k1 or cr1.
