approvals for visas in Morocco for month of March

[Jeanne Adil 1,651]

Happy to say Morocco approval numbers are up in March 2019 

CR1 28

IR1   45

K1    17

and more tourists visas 1,175

 

but a reminder many of the spouse visa approvals can be from former K1 denials

Do you have some year on year stats? Like it would be interesting to see if there is a consistent uptick in approval in certain months especially the tourist visas.

That's great, you have mentioned there being 80 interviews for K1 a week but how accurate is that? If they interview from 12 to 5 on given days, do you really believe the number is that high? I have read reviews and spoken to people and they say that when they went the place was empty, have heard that quite a few times lately. I am thinking that logically they probably do 80 a month? If so, 17 k1s for example is less than 25% approval but definitely the figures are going up. What do you think?

i go by what is reported from facebook and here 

and from the days i sat outside the embassy keeping tabs

 

when a person waits 3  months after a K1 is sent by NVC and they have an interview space every 15 minutes from 8 AM to 12 noon figure it out / they even interview during Ramadan

Hopefully the numbers continue to rise.

But they interview more than just K-1 and CR-1 visa hopefuls. So those 15 minute slots could be K-1, CR-1, B1/B2, diversity visa and many more...

That's alot of interviews a day, by that calculation it would be 16 interviews in 4 hours which seems like alot plus they have other visas to interview for as well. Seems rather high, but the point is that the numbers are rising and that's always refreshing to see.

This is what I was trying to say, I believe the 80 a week figure is prob more like 80 k1s a month and that seems high.

I would think it would be max 80 a month of k1s. It would be difficult to calculate a approval percentage even if you knew the number of interviews per month because of AP and all of its unknowns.

I like to think its a tad bit higher than 25%. Maybe a nice 33%? haha.
