US Immigration from Morocco

How long to get DQ at the NVC nowadays. Thanks in advance!

Hi All,

I'm a US citizen originally from Morocco, divorced in the USA and remarried in Morocco. My moroccan marriage certificate ( Acte de mariage) shows that I'm "single" instead of "Divorced" and I'm wondering if this will be a major problem once I start the visa process for my moroccan wife to come to the USA, since I have to submit my divorce decree, and there will be a discrepancy in that regard.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thank y'all!

This sounds crazy but it is true, and I hope it will not turn into a nightmare:

I sent my passport for a renewal and I only requested routine service since I don't have any travel plans in the foreseeable future.

Up until today (4 weeks from when I sent in the application), the status update showed Not available.

I called the 1-877-487-2778 number to request an expedite and pay for it, the agent could not locate my application at first, but when I gave her my full SSN number, she told me that the application has my last name and first name reversed.

She transferred me to another agent to fix it, just to find out that they can't fix it.

my question is: are they really going to issue a passport with the last name and first name reversed? they have my old passport and it is correct?

how big of an issue is it?

Thank you all for your replies

Hello, my interview is coming up and I was wondering about the civics test.

1-Do they give you 4 different answers to choose from, like on the practice test?

2-My filing date is Sept-21, do I need to practice the 2020 or 2008 version?

Thank you.

I have been searching the NVC website to find the answer but can't find one - can anyone link me to a source that specifically shows how long you can electively choose to delay your case?

A friend whose husband is from the same country as mine received their NVC case number after USCIS approval on October 15, 2020. They have not uploaded any documents yet, just paid the fee at the end of September and the DS260 and upload portal are now open.

The beneficiary wants to delay for awhile to allow him more time to work. He seems to think that, since they have paid the fees, they have one more year to upload and complete the NVC because the payment of fees "resets the clock" or so to speak.

It was always my understanding that you needed to submit documents within 1 year of receiving case number.

My friend has already explained to the beneficiary that the NVC time is taking 2.5 months currently and then you will have to wait for an interview, and then the visa would have 6 months validity, so even if they submit paperwork now, it will still be awhile before an interview may be available.

They also had the discussion that with their now IR-1 visa to activate the visa, then travel back home for a few more months to finish up work requirements, if necessary.

Is there a specific timeline you MUST complete upload your documents by or the NVC will think you have abandoned your case and close it?

Thanks.
