US Immigration from Morocco

Hello, our initial petition was recently approved after over a year.

My fiance is a Moroccan citizen who studies and lives in Turkey. She has been there for a year.

We still have to hear from the National Visa Center. Our interview is not scheduled yet. Our main concerns would be being denied or waiting longer.

Our relationship is strong, we only had visited once at the time of our application but have since went on 4 trips total together to different countries (about 3 months in person). We are the same age.

The potential things they may judge on is her living in Turkey to study while being a Moroccan citizen. Maybe they would look at the cultural or traditional religious differences of America and a Muslim country. She will likely have her interview in Turkey which I heard can be hard sometimes if the person decides to be.

Also, we are wondering how much time it will take since the petition was approved on Sept 30. We have waited over 460 days now.

Any advice would be appreciated, I researched a ton on this but it's always good to learn more.

Important information.. Moroccan citizen has a degree and work history that makes him eligible to apply for the DV.. his wife does not.. since he is able to apply, would she be able to apply with a separate application.. to double their chances? Or is that a no since she does not have the actual degree or work experience.. please help!!!

My friend's mother came NY to visit while on Tourist visa. Her daughter applied for 130 permanent residence. She is in the US for like 16 months now while the application is pending. She need to see a surgery done, please what type of options she has for insurance coverage? also, can she leave the US, and come back when the application is approved? Thanks

For different countries, I'm seeing people saying that they go online to pick appointments and others who say the embassies automatically send them appointments. Just wondering what the process is for the interviews in Casablanca.

Hello VJ friends,

i had a question about previous DV entries where one wasn t selected. Do consulates or NVC have access to the data entered their?

A friend of mine was selected this year DV2023 and he s worried that if they have access to previous entries where he wasn t selected because the info(marital status, education, step children) he entered to apply for DV2023 are different from the previous ones.

thanks,
