Hi everyone!
I'm brand new here and currently organizing the K-1 visa packet for submission. For the most part, I've organized a lot of evidence and the application is filled but I'm currently confused about one thing. Of course, we have plenty of evidence showing our intent to get married, including venue receipt here in Missouri, dress receipt, tux receipt, engagement photos, engagement ring receipts for both of us (I proposed to him first in person but he already had everything prepared to propose to me), and also documents of our intent of marriage in Morocco. This is where I have a question. My fianc and I thought about submitting the paperwork we gathered for our intended (but canceled) wedding in Morocco as evidence. I gathered an FBI report, an apostilled statement of singlehood from my state's vital records office, I even scheduled an appointment to obtain a police report in Morocco (but I never went due to lack of time), I went to the consulate in Casablanca to obtain an affidavit of eligibility to marry which would expire in 6 months (it's expired now), and other documents. I couldn't return to Morocco. We had to cancel our wedding plans for May. The engagement was simple and intimate, at his mother's home among his most immediate family. We did not have an engagement ceremony of any kind and especially not a wedding. At the beginning, we thought it would be a good idea to submit all of the documents we gathered to show that marriage was always our intention but I've become to wonder if that could possibly lead to USCIS believing we got married (I've read so many nightmare stories). Based on others who've gotten married in Morocco, no one could get married with only two weeks of time to make it happen. It's impossible (for me) to get married in Morocco simply based on the wait times for the family court approval. I haven't returned to Morocco since getting engaged due to COVID-19 and even now, I am still waiting to be able to go visit my fianc but I'm getting clearance from my work first. We decided we want to get married here instead and that's why we are pursuing the K-1. All of our documents are expired and can't even be used to marry in Morocco unless we re-do them all over again. Two weeks (which is all I get allowed from work) won't be enough to get approved for marriage and marry in Morocco. I know I've gotten off of the topic, but I wanted to give enough details. So, what do you all think? Should I submit them as evidence of our intent?
Also, would anyone know an estimated timeframe for the K-1 visa? I know with COVID a lot has been pushed back. I tried using the Immigration Timelines tool but I didn't find a lot of current timelines (2020) for Morocco.
Thank you in advance for any responses!
