Does your brother and his wife file taxes together? WHoever is the main filer should fill it out for both if they file a joint return.

edit...I just reread the I134 again and they should each fill out the form. But to be sure you may want to email Casa and ask them they will tell you.

The I134 is the correct form and it requires 100% above the poverty level ... Good luck

When we got married I paid extra for a certified copy as well that is what I gave NVC and then we had the original available for the interview but they didn't ask for it and then we got the certified copy back after the interview.

Good luck,

The fact that he got a B2 visa is a plus this rarely happens out of Casa just make sure he closes out his travels by returning to Morocco and as long as you can document your travels together your case overall is strong but for that consulate that may not mean much if you cannot overcome the sponsorship requirements. Someone can add to my post but I only know of one person that was accepted for co-sponsorship out of Casa.

Dating foreigners is a fact that I don't think the documents require disclosures of but it the topic is brought up during the interview he has to address truthfully. They do get access to social media sites...

Good luck

I called USCIS to ask if my fiance and I are married in Puerto Rico through the K1 visa would a marriage certificate issued by Puerto Rico be valid. The answer was yes so long as its in English. My question is if you live in Puerto Rico, got married with a beneficiary via the K1 and have submitted the AOS, was the certificate issued from Puerto Rico accepted?

To me traveling to and from Puerto Rico is moot since persons livig in Puerto Rico can file petitions. This is just to bring some validity that marriage and travel to Puerto Rico is still within the perameters for this visa journey. Any comment are appreciated.

All documents issued in PR by the courts are done in Spanish, you would have to get it translated and yes it is accepted for the AOS now I cannot tell you how easy it will be to get your marriage certificate but everything I ever did with government agencies in PR was very slow. The recommendation to marry at home and honeymoon there is ideal.

Good luck,

If NVC closed out the case and forwarded it to the embassy then just wait for your interview date. Best way to know if taxes are complete for 2011 is to ask your wife, she should have gotten notice from the IRS when the tax return is accepted and they surely let you know if you owe taxes.

Good luck

I am confused how did you file individually in 2009 & 2010 if you did not have an ITIN or social security number? Do you mean your spouse was single then and applied his/her individual tax return? If the taxes were already filled for 2011 and accepted by the IRS late or not they have been processed and treated the same as previous years just a completed tax return or transcript. It will be used to prove the income requirement not to see if you are delinquent with the IRS.

If the birth certificate has been asked for already then you should not have any issues there, I asked about the son because you said she lives there with you but if all she did was visit then yes I can see her not moving him. Most single mothers have issues with the fathers of their children when moving the children out of the state, country or if they no longer live with the custodial parent. If the father is ok with her family caring for the child while she moves overseas then I don't foresee any problems with those items.

Best of luck on your journey,

You should not have a problem as result of the previous visa request as you were not trying to immigrate to the US, that does not change the fact that the denial rate for immigration visas out of Casa are very high. The only thing you have to do now is hope the CO accepts your sponsor, that he has a strong income record (noticed previously that they ask for sponsor's birth certificate) and you do well on your interview. Your wife living with you for a year is a plus. Did she bring her son to Morocco with her? That would make the case stronger as well. They will look at how long it took to profess your love, to ask her for marriage if done to quickly those are red flags it would be a good idea to include those key conversations when you go for your interview.

Good luck,

The norm is that by the second Friday of the month they close out interviews scheduled for the following month. It is passed the second Friday of December so it's pretty safe to say you will not likely get a January date but rather a February as stated by NVC. You should be notified of the interview date by Jan 11 or shortly thereafter...

Good luck

The norm is that they are front loaded when you turn in the I-130 but since you are at NVC they may not take it since they deal with getting agent appointed, getting the affidavit of support and the visa application and all the civil documents. It would be nice if they took them and forwarded them to the consulate with the rest of the petition and application for visa perhaps you can call and ask. Otherwise I say make sure your hubby has them at the interview.

Good luck...

The Moroccan civil documents for example the birth certificates have expiration dates because every family has a book that registers every birth of a child to a couple

that is the official document the court will issue a 90 day certificate to validate what is in the family book. Although our birth certificates have dates of issuance the documents do not expire. I had my birth certificate accepted that was issued many years ago but if ordering a new one reassures you then that works as well.

I am excited for both you ladies, enjoy your trips, congrats and have some mint tea for me...

The purpose of notarization is to prevent fraud and forgery. The notary acts as an official and unbiased witness to the identity of person who comes before the notary for a specific purpose. Thus it does not matter who writes the statement if you have a written statement with a signature block that includes your name the notary verifies your identity and you sign the statement in their presence. Look in the I-130 and I-129F instructions one of those gives you guidance on what to include for third parties to attest having knowledge for example the co-mingling of funds to support a bonafide marriage.

Good Luck,

After you pay the affidavit of support he will have to send you the request for visa I believe is DS 230 in two copies. Easiest way to do is for you to fill the form out, print it and scan it to him on PDF format. He will print it out sign it and send it back to you along with his police report, court report and birth certificate original and translations. That is all I can recall at this moment, I will double-check when I get home.

refer to foreverwaiting u are us citizen and u are here to prepare paper for your morrocan husband and u tell in your letter /morrocan wife/ be careful when u talk about morrocan wife because if your baby born in morroco and you are us citizen,your husband is morrocan my be one day want to return to morroco to live here u will need to follow him u will need morrocan forum and u have to learn arabic for 20 years to underestand arabic immigration forum and morrocan spouse speak arabic,frensh,english ,be sure that morrocan law s very difficult to get morrocan citizen u have to wait u and your children more than 10 years just to get autorisation live here and citizen is difficult to obtain .

Really? Everyone on this forum has helped answer this same question for both your husband and you. If you truly don't understand use a translator online to fully comprehend what it is the forum is advising you on. That is where you asking the same thing over again is causing frustrations it has absolutely nothing to do with Moroccan/American marriages, anyone trying to get a Moroccan visa, learning Arabic what is that all about please stay on topic this is about the visa you are trying to get not about Americans being married to Moroccans. I will say we all went to Morocco and managed to marry our husbands with no issues I am certain if we ever decided to move to Morocco getting a visa would not be an issue. If you know anything about being married to a Moroccan is that we Americans gain some civil benefits from being married to them. Please focus on your task at hand our hubbys are here already so it's safe to say some of us got the process right.

Again a repeat question..

Can I ask why are you worrying so much right now about this as you said before, your only three months pregnant and your interview is probably not until August 2013 ..you said.

Also, why is your husband not helping you find any of these answers. With your multiple user names, you continue asking these questions over and over but in different names and weeks apart. Obviously, you are even asking people on different immigration forums and STILL don't understand their answers, so you post it here seeking if it's true or not.

It amazes me how many spouses from morocco seem to come here on visa journey and never include asking their spouse for help in the USA, but instead, take it upon themselves to keep asking these questions over and over and never understanding the answers they get.

Ask your husband to get off his butt and get an info pass as the nearest immigration office and ask for the necessary forms and procedures if you are seeking a truthful answer, as you don't seem to understand any of the advice of those on any immigration forum you go to.

it's that simple....

If you read the instructions, it tells you to count any dependent under the age of 21 regardless if they live with you or not.

Casa average is 6-8 week notice before the interview, you will have a bit of time before the interview but under no circumstance buy return tickets for him until he has visa in hand.

Good luck,

You were suppose to remove the condition on the green card when you divorced in 2011, others can give further guidance but I think you have been out of status since you got divorced.

Mounir,

They refused to issue the visa and sent it back to USCIS for it to be reviewed again with a recommendation to either revoked or deny the original petition. Once USCIS get it they will notify you and give you 30 days to address their findings or provide further proof of a bonafide marriage. You have to find out why the CO refused to issue the visa. Get your wife to contact her elected officials for assistance. Don't beat yourself up on what you already gave them but rather how you can find out the deficiency and fix the problem. The norm is 6 months or more before you hear from them again it could be sooner or take longer. The application plus any additional documents your wife submits will go under review and they will make a decision.

Good luck,

".....case was sent back for further review to the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on October 30, 2012.

The decision to send the petition back for additional review was not taken lightly. The interviewing consular officer reviewed the case in its entirety before making this decision. This is not a final refusal of the visa. Rather, the USCIS will review the case and will contact you to allow you the opportunity to address the concerns raised during the interview."

This is a copy of the email sent. The paper was this vague.

The visa has not been denied, the consulate refused to issue it. They do not deny visas they simply recommend to USCIS to either revoke or deny the petition. USCIS will decide which and they normally give you 30 days to correct any deficiencies or prove a bonafide marriage. Pay close attention as a NOID can be refiled but a NOIR effectively prevents any future petitions for that person. If you already have an idea why it was refused then start preparing now. There has been success in cases like these just continue to track documents that prove a bonafide marriage and respond within their suspense dates when you hear from USCIS. Getting your elected officials involved can only help.

Good luck,

Hello,

Excuse me, i just want to get your attention that on the sheet given to Mounir, the case checked is "OTHER" not "221(g)" please review the attached photo again. I did a compare between Mounir's sheet and mine which i got at my second interview last September, my sheet has the 221(g) checked, but Mounir has the "other" checked, hopefully the "other" is less heartache than the "221(g)", by the way, we both are from Morocco.

Below is my sheet, thank you for your time:

You are correct different block checked but the reasons are the same word for word returned to USCIS with the same outcome a refusal worksheet. Mounir, I say verify if your request has indeed been sent forward if so then your next step is to start preparing as you don't know as of yet if it will be a NOID or a NOIR that the CO recommnded to USCIS each have different implication on the outcome. Stay on the forum and it will helpful for your next step.

Good luck,

Please read the instructions for the AOS, duplicate questions the answers have not changed from the last time you posted the question. Read the previous thread you posted.

Oh Mounir I am so sorry to hear this news.

Do you have a description of your first interview here on VJ anywhere ? I want to refresh my memory on what went on in that first session. It seems they were waiting for something during that period of AP ?

Your wife needs to be on the phone and on email with the consulate immediately, every single day and several times a day, until she can speak with someone. She needs to be extremely pro-active right now, trying to get them to keep the petition there in Casa.

Second line of action will be if she can't get them to keep the petition there, and we can talk about that next. But she needs to be pushing all buttons right now to try to get them to take another look at your case before sending it back.

Again, very sorry for this set-back, but you can overcome it.

The 221g is dated Nov 5, it is likely already sent back and they called him as an after thought..

First let me say I am sorry for the denial, secondly what type of organization are they running the 221g is dated over a month ago? Picking up the phone and calling you to come and pick up the 221g took all of a minute of effort if that and it took them over a month? No government organization runs on that standard. I can understand if they are working on the case but the decision was made a month ago and they just now called. Where is the human factor, the consideration for what people are going through waiting for an answer then they turn around and quote an act but don't give specifics. I am sorry that just chaps my axxxxx. I am sure they have their reason for denial and I cannot question there decision making process but they definitely can do a much better job in the notification process. I have worked Human Resources with the government for over 20 years and someone's head would roll for stuff like this or they would be answering questions.

Good luck on your visa journey, keep tracking...

Most agencies will not notarize a document not issued by them for example a power of attorney is only notarized only after they confirm your identity, you can state why you are needing the notarization then after they see you then they will notarize the document. The notary cannot notarize something that cannot be confirmed regardlesss how official it looks. The only thing we notarized was the copy of my passport and that was done at the consulate which is your first stop to start the marriage process.

Good luck,
