received a 221G Casablanca for Immigrant Visa for a Spouse

Yeah that was confusing. She typed her name in the signature area and kept it in a word doc. And emailed it I hope this helps...

Well in the back of the 221 (G) it clearly state that due to the load of work at the embassy it's taking 6-9 months for AP.

She was put under AP at the NVC once before it took them 3-4 months to complete AP (I am assuming) and they submitted the file for the interview. She was refused the visa and given the 221G and they emailed her the DS 5535...

I hope I didn't confuse you. I am confused why they requesting the DS5535 twice. It sounds to me like there is a disconnect between NVC and the Embassy. I am thinking to send an email to embassy asking them why she has to go through the DS5535 twice within the same app. They can request results from NVC or whoever does this so called Processing

I flew to Morocco just after her Interview. My wife and I went to the Casablanca Consulate seeking answers after numerous emails and failed phone calls. The answer was that they can not discuss Immigration issues at all, and that they can only help wit USC matters such as Passport renewal or registration of a new born.

In a nutshell, potential Immigrants with AP and DS-5536 are in a dark hole, from which we can see nada what so ever.

Again, my wife and I are so for Extreme Vetting and Administrative Processing, but hope this could have been done at the NVC stage or at least be completed within months and not years. Perhaps a small degree of transparency can put people at ease.

I expected that. It’s politics how can they get away with holding passport for more than 2 months 

I think we should all get together and reach a senator for treating us like a second citizens with no rights to any info we are not criminals 

many how this is all implemented by trump in 2017 

i beleive we must voice our concerns and see if it leads to anything . I need my wife with me it has been one year of waiting 

May god give us patience and may God show the way to justice 

[SamirAB 3]

BTW are they holding your passport as well.? And I agree with extreme vetting during the NVC process not after the interview. They get people excited to show to the interview just to be handed a DS 5535...it's brutal

[SamirAB 3]

I was wondering if anybody from Morocco US embassy received an approval lately to get a time frame?

[SamirAB 3]

Any news guys looks like the embassy is backed up 6 to 9 months. Any one got any news please let us know. My wife and I are still waiting

[SamirAB 3]

My wife got a call last week from the US embassy in Casablanca they basically were looking for the DS 5535 form that she emailed 3 months ago. The guys said that they found the email without an attachment very strange. She forwarded him the email. He told her that they are working on her file. Her case got updated Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday each day till last Thursday 5 times. Then nothing since we are hoping that this is a great news. The guy told her one to 2 weeks possibly..this is the second week

 

Any ideas please?

I just wanted to update you my wife's case has been updated 5 times to AP then Ready for interview this morning. I think they are ready to make  a decision since she obviously had the interview back in January and was put on AP since.

Any similar experiences? I hope she doesn't get called back to a second interview.

 

Thanks

From ready it Will go back to AP and after a day or two visa will be issued. Hang on there

[SamirAB 3]

Yes Sir it did go from Ready to AP with 30 minutes today keeping fingers crossed 

thank you

[SamirAB 3]

Yeah Visa issued this morning: Thank you all and the best of luck to everyone. They have not called her yet but system updated to issued this morning. 

Basically in my case approximately 3 months. It sounds to me that the consulate of Morocco are backed up where it comes to AP status. 

She sent the passport on January 21 got the visa issued April 17 today

Keep emailing and inquiring after 2 months. It seems to me that a letter from a senator or congressman is key. My senator sent them a letter 3-4 weeks ago along with letters I sent. 

Again best of luck to everyone I hope they call her tomorrow to pick up her passport and paperwork
