Morocco does not give visa the same day, NEVER buy ticket until you have the visa in hand. This will NOT be easier because it's your second time, or because you'remarried. Be prepared. Good luck!

If you can't win fair and square, why not cheat?

I personally don't think you should ask. If she wants to keep it private fine. If she wants to share, fine.

Well Visa Journey, it has been a great time going through my Journey with you guys. I have never really posted anything on the website before, but I have read numerous stories; some heart breaking, some very informative, and some were quite motivational. I just want to thank all of you for your stories as it has helped me get through this tuff time. I started this journey April 15, 2011 and here it is a whole year later, and finally, my husband has his visa in hand and his plane ticket. I finally get to see the love of my life after 10 long months of absence on 04/21/2012. It has been one ruff and rocky road. There were several hurtles and bumps along the way, but WE DID IT! I didn’t think I was strong enough to make it, but I guess I underestimated myself. I just want to say to that person that feels like giving up, I have been there and back! You can do it though, it’s hard, but you can do it. If you ever want to talk and hear my roller coaster of a story, I am here. Once again, THANK YOU ALL!!

Hi everyone! My interview was April 4 at 6:30am. The CO asked me a lot of questions which I didn't expected but thank God for giving me such wisdom, I was able to answer all his
question confidently. It took more than 10 mins. before I heared him saying, "Ok, your visa is approve,..." Thank you Lord.

...and we finally have our IR1 in hand. I am going to be a bit over the top, maybe emotional, and I know most people say this when their journey is over, but what I am going to say is absolutely from the bottom of my heart. Firstly, we could not have done this without VJ. It has been an amazing source of information, and is what enabled us to do EVERYTHING by ourselves. Our K1, our marriage in Morocco, our CR1, our NOIR, and finally getting our visa. As much as VJ itself has helped, it was really the people I have encountered from when I joined in May of 2009 until now. I have made some great friends because of this journey, and just absolutely could not have done this without their knowledge of denials out of Casa, and the NOIR. There were a few woman who helped me with my first denial in 2010. Then the ones who stuck by me through the second denial in 2011. So many people have followed our case, and have prayed along with us for a great outcome. I can not begin to thank everyone enough. There are so many people who took the time to leave me comments on my page, and who truly cared about us, and our case. It doesn't seem like much, but that has meant a lot to both of us, and gave me strength and courage knowing I had so many people rooting for us.
My family. Wow, my immediate family, to my extended family...parents, sisters,cousins, aunts, uncles, are all excited for his arrival. They are planning a huge Welcome to America/wedding party for us in August. I could not ask to be more blessed with all the support I have received from here, my family, and my co workers. For everyone who left me comments, or emails, I thank you for caring about us. I wasn't able to comment directly to everyone, but I want you to know, I appreciated your concerns for us. You all know who you are. I will also be more than happy to help anyone who needs it here. I have already helped a few people, and it feels so good to be able to pass on the knowledge that I learned to others going through Casa. I don't know everything, but will pass along anything I know, because I would not wish my journey on anyone.
Lastly, I am going to say I am thankful that God knows best. He wanted us to wait. We did our best every step of the way, but it just wasn't our time. He tested us, and I am so proud to say how much closer we are because of this, and how proud we feel that despite all of the let downs, we didn't let that interfere with the love we have for each other. We kept fighting for our relationship, and in the end, we were able to convince them that we deserve this. I was never truly angry with the consulate, as they were only doing their jobs. I would be frustrated with how they conducted business sometimes, but when you have the daunting job of deciding who is a fraud, and who isn't, I can't imagine it is easy. We knew our relationship was real, it was just a matter of time before they would see that. I believe that is why everything went so, so fast in the end. Scheduling the interview for the next week, telling him to get everything in ASAP, calling the very next morning after dropping off documents the day before to get his visa right after the weekend. It really was a blessing. They even made sure to change his CR1 to the IR1. I could not be more pleased with the way it ended.
My husband will now leave everything that he has ever known, but I am happy to say he is coming into a family that has a lot of love and support waiting for him. My mother is an immigrant herself, and remembers exactly how it felt to leave her country. I have so much faith that our relationship will only continue to grow, and all this waiting will be a distant memory. My son will not know when he is coming, because my husband has his heart set on surprising him. Our life has been on hold for many years, and we finally get to begin our lives together as husband and wife
Sorry for the long post, I just have a lot gratitude to share

Mi Amore, two of our senior members have given you very good advice, please listen to them.
Your case has been denied, this is very serious. We cannot know why for sure, but it is likely a combination of you having been petitioned before, and being of different religions. If you want us to help you, we need more information, such as why the previous K1 was denied, which country you are from and interviewed in, do your families know about your relationship and approve, your interview in detail (any questions you couldn't answer?).
Togetherforever made a very good point that the US Citizen petitioner needs to be active; there is little that you as beneficiary can do. She needs to involve her elected representatives, and it would be helpful if she could join you here on Visajourney, as you don't seem to be fully understanding what we are saying, which could be due to language barrier.

put N/A if your husband spous has never been in USA
A: means Alien security number

I'm just sayin welcome back IR5FORMUMSIE it has been along time

Per the I-130 instructions, since you live in Florida, you will send your petition to the lockbox in Phoenix.

Why doesn't your family know? That's a bigger issue than the age difference, in my opinion.

LOL - this is kind of cute . This kid has had some great 'instructors'!
