US Immigration from Morocco

Hi everyone!

I hope you all can help me. My sister and Joe (from Lagos) have been married for just under two years (and were together a year before that). She has had several visits and mom and dad went over once too when they got married. They are in the process of petitioning for spousal visa. He received his interview (passport not taken) and was put into AP about six months ago. They have received very little word in terms of updates since then. Now something very strange has happened: Yesterday, Joe's mom said that a man came to the door asking all sorts of questions about him. The man was not really clear about who he was or why he was asking these questions. Naturally, she refused to answer. Upon finding this out, Joe asked around and was told by a few neighbors that a USCIS agent came out and was asking all sorts of questions about their relationship and my sister. Joe is now in the process of asking his employer if he has heard anything.

This is crazy! I have heard of background checks and AP. My own husband, who is from Morocco, went into AP temporarily, but he was only in there for less than two weeks. He has been here for a while and has since naturalized (but he came in 2011 and naturalized in 2017, so I get that things could have changed sin then).

Has anyone had this happen to them? Was it this extreme? Can the COs actually do this? This sounds invasive. I tried searching for this on VJ and elsewhere. I have seen some others on the boards mention "home visit" and "field investigation" but I haven't seen much detail, so I don't know if this means that. Then there is the issue that his mother's refusal to answer questions (understandably not wanting to talk to a total stranger who wouldn't really identify themselves). What do you recommend they do?

I really appreciate your wisdom!

If you had your interview in the Houston, Tx USCIS office for citizenship, Can you recall nay of the 10 questions they asked you on the Civics Exam?

Husband is trying to memorize all 100 flash cards I got him.

Thank you

Hello all !

Its been a while since my last post but I really need some help here.

My husband came to the US just before the pandemic got really bad (January 2020) and we started our life together. My husband worked, paid taxes, stayed out of trouble. Life was good. I allowed my sister, who I never met, come to stay with us last year (she left after a few months) but during her time her, she really ###### with my husbands head. Let me explain to sum it up. The 3 years my husband was here, life was good. Yes my husband was missing home and we had made plans to return for a visit. In November 2022, my husband started changing mentally. His whole personality just flipped. My sister didnt make things better always talking out her [deleted] and saying negative things about his religion and all kinds of #######. Anyway skip the BS, my husband because a whole different person. His health started changing. He had lost so much weight and his mind started playing tricks on him. He thinks my sister did black magic on him (she's a 5150 btw). Finally after a complete meltdown I bought my husband a ticket back home while I was to deal with getting rid of my narcissistic sister. I mean things got absolutely crazy to the point that my husband asked me what was the injection I gave him in his leg when he was sleeping. Like it got really really bad. Anyway I bought him a ticket to Morocco, drove him to the airport and off he went. He doesnt remember much of his trip. His brother and family told me they saw a dead man in him. His skin was gray, his eyes were black, his weight was gone, like in all honesty he was a dead man walking. He told me that he saw my family at the airports and that people had been following him to his village. I can't begin to tell you how bad I cried over the days of reliving all of his breakdowns, his accusations, etc.

Fast forward to today. When my husband arrived back home, he saw his mother had not been taking care of the home, herself, etc. She was not in the best of health. He stayed to help and in the same time get back his health, both physically and mentally. He left on January 4, 2023. I arrived in March of 2023 and left April 2023. My trip to the airport was not a memorable one because my husband and I bickered the entire way. We had NEVER fought or bickered. Anyway, I arrived home and we have been in contact with each other and I have been supporting him while he deals with his issues. He has maintained his bank account and he is on the mortgage papers here as well as the bills. He really didnt know if he wanted to come back but yesterday he said he did. His GC is an IR1 and its good for 10 years I believe. Since hes been out of the country since January 4, 2023, but has maintain his ties here, would there be any issues about his return. Keep in mind that no paperwork has been submitted regarding his overstay.

Help !

Good morning, I am a new member and I needed some help and some insight. Our case is in Casablanca Morocco since July 18,2023. We filled out the DS 160. We are in READY status on the stat tracker. Our lawyer said we are waiting for Casablanca to schedule the interview for us ? Does anyone know from experience how long it usually takes to get an interview. Our case will have 3 months in Casablanca this 10/18. Does anyone have any emails or contact numbers besides the call center because they are not helpful. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.

Good afternoon, all,

My wife's visa has been issued this morning, after an AP of 16 months.

My question is the following: how do we proceed about changing the address as I just moved to a different state? is it sufficient to just hand a signed memo/letter to CBP at POE?

Thank you all for your help and support.
