US Immigration from Morocco

Where do I begin? My fianc and I have been down a long, difficult road. We have been together for 4 years. Broke up and got back together. Long distance relationships can be difficult, not matter how much you love one another. That said, after waiting a year to get through USCIS and the NVC, we finally got our interview a few weeks back. We thought we had all the papers and documents ready. We really know one another well, and she speaks fluent English, so I was cautiously confident that things would go well. I should have expected the worst. At the end of the interview, she was given a 221G form and told to supply additional evidence: a court record (our lawyer seems to have missed this document), an original divorce decree (she only had the copy that was in the I-129 file), and, to my surprise, the CO asked for more photos, chats, and travel records, even though examples of each were in the file my fianc was asked to bring to the interview. We gathered all the documents and returned them via courier service within a couple of days. From what I have been reading and hearing, AP is a "holding pattern." No one can tell you how long it will take and what the outcome will be. According to my fianc several others were given 221G forms the day of her interview. Is this common these days? I was under the impression that CO's were supposed to issue them sparingly. One other question for now: when I search our case on CEAC, it says "refused." Is this common for those in AP? I appreciate any help and advice.

Hello!

I am filling out the I-134F currently for my fiance. I am the sole sponsor and make above the poverty line. I recently bought a house. The question that has a part about if I have mortgages, do I need to put it down? I want to be honest but it's not a factor in my ability to sponsor my fiance. Any help is appreciate. Thanks!!

Hi all,

I've been reading a bunch of posts in the forums since returning to the US, and I'm concerned about our chances for approval, mostly due to us having a traditional engagement ceremony, including an exchanging of rings.

Some background:

-I'm female American (25) and he's male Moroccan (21), no prior marriages nor children, etc. for either of us.

-We met initially in mid-2019 when I visited Morocco, kept nearly daily contact, began romantically seeing each other late 2020, and got engaged during my visit to Morocco last month.

-I am not muslim (more agnostic) while he is muslim. We're both fine with this as long as our children are muslim, inshaallah. I'm okay deferring to his preference since he is more religious.

-I just visited him and his family for 3 weeks in Morocco, but both of my visits to Morocco are within the 2 year period for filing.

-He is proficient in English as that is our main language of communication, and I know some elementary Arabic / Darija.

-I also keep in frequent contact with his brothers as they consider me part of their family. I also talk to his parents, but they don't know any English, so our conversations are less frequent.

-We do have a shorter engagement period (which is I know is a bit of a yellow/red flag), but we are both people who exercise caution with those we date and don't want to 'waste' our time on a superficial relationship.

-He has never traveled to the US / outside of Morocco

We have plenty of evidence as far as photos, chat logs, etc. are concerned, but I am now anxious because I have seen so many threads warning against having an engagement party before filing. It was a simple ceremony, lasting less than 30 minutes. We exchanged rings, fed each other a date and milk, kissed each other on the forehead, and held hands in front of his family. After that, we took pictures and had a homemade lunch. We wore traditional Moroccan clothing for the ceremony that his mother ordered in advance of my arrival. They don't match exactly, but it's obvious that we are together.

There is the possibility that I could not include the photos in my file, but we exchanged the photos over whatsapp, and I don't want to lie if we get an interview and they ask if we had an engagement party. Plus, if they ask if we had an engagement party, we say yes but didn't include any photos, wouldn't that also be suspicious? I'm trying really hard to get all of our documentation together, but it feels so sad that something used to celebrate our love with his family could cause us denial.

Thanks in advance

Hi! Congratulation to us we got our visa fiance ( k1) and I have thanks special to any one helped us. I have some question about the next step and what is the process we should take when I will entering into the USA.

Our K1 was approved today. The paper my fiance was given states "... please visit the Amarex office you selected to pick up your visa. Please ensure you registered at: www.ustraveldocs.com". I'm fairly certain we are not registered and I don't see where I can do this on the website. How do we register?
