How long before being notified about an interview date (Casablanca, Morocco)

[ellienellie21 0]

Hi guys,

 

When I visit the CEAC website, my case status says "Ready" but it has been like that since February 10th and we still haven't heard back anything from the consulate about an interview date.

I would like to hear about your experiences getting an interview date through this consulate. Does it take a long time? Because I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

 

Thank you in advance.

Has the Moroccan filed out the ds 160?

that needs to be done so u get the information to make dr appointment for the medical 

and the 2 police clearances that are needed 

 

• Police certificate (fiche anthropometrique) and English translation
• Court record (casier judiciare) and English translation

after the ds 160 is filled out ,  you will be able to schedule the appointment online

Thank you, but do you mean that I need to fill out the DS-160 before I receive the email from the consulate? Or after?

My case is a bit different from the usual. 

In November of last year, the NVC sent our petition to the wrong country and it took about three months for it to be transferred to Morocco.

And whenever we call them they tell us to just wait for an email from them, that's why we're confused.

That sounds fairly normal. The Casablanca consulate seems to be taking around 3-4 months to schedule K-1 interviews at this time. I would recommend reaching out to your congressman to do a congressional inquiry. Sometimes the consulate needs a little "push" to get things moving.

before 

u have to fill out the ds 160 or u will not get the email from embassy

 

Confirmation page of the ds 160 is needed to schedule the medical exam

 

if the ds 160 is not filled out ,   the case is in limbo at embassy

Thank you. We filled it out but unfortunately, there are still no updates.

Thank you very much, we did just that and we're hoping it might help somehow.

The Casablanca consulate never sent us anything but the embassy in the other country did. They said that they had transferred it in January 18th of this year. And on the CEAC website it says Ready CSB.

then if the CSB #'s are on it , should be ok 

and i know sending emails is hard to get answers but i would send one (one a day or at least one a week  and bug them)

 

support-morocco@ustraveldocs.com

 

i say that as one packet went all the way back to NVC and u need to know if Casa has it

 

if u get a generic reply that says "it is in the queue for interview"  or anything like that at least u will know Casa has it

We got an email from them after bugging them for so long saying that our case has been escalated. The problem is that it's been escalated since January and we thought that means they'd work on it faster but five months later there's still no updates. And thank you for your comments, it's putting my head at ease a bit.

The email that they responded to this month was sent back in April 4th
