MIBEN reacted to Possiblymaybe in How to Prepare for ROC?
I bought the house before he arrived, before we married. So adding his name to that would be a major pain, and would probably hurt us financially since he doesn't have credit here.
What we have (and showed to AOS) is:
- joint bank account
- beneficiary on life insurance and 401K
- health insurance through my employer
- co-ownership of a car
- credit card in my name with him as a user
I can't think of anything more to add prior to ROC. Any ideas?

MIBEN got a reaction from DandC in K1 Visa - I won't marry him!
I suppose you have the right to change your mind but in all fairness you explaining daily life and responsibilities to him made no difference because he has no reference point. He was never married, does not have kids, has never moved away from home. Ofcourse he is going to be clingy he is homesick, have some consideration. How would you feel if you had to leave your whole life children included and start anew in a foreign country. Okay he may not have children but he had an entire family, it is normal to feel the way he does. You did research? Then why entertain the brother about signing paperwork? If you were so thorough you would know you are not responsible. Obviously you did not prepare yourself realistictly to what he would experience. Now that he is in your face, then he becomes and inconvenience? I feel bad for him but as many have stated he has 90 days to marry or go back to Morocco. I would also take the opportunity to visit family, heck after this outcome I would need the moral support as well. What he does after he leaves your home I suppose is between him and USCIS, I recommend he goes home before the 90 days. All you have to do is report that the marriage did not happen and I am sure they will ask for his location so have the address handy.

MIBEN got a reaction from RFQ in Let's hear it from spouses of Morocco whose marriages are working!
First let me say, Mimo I pray that all goes well with chemo and you have the strength to face the therapy.
To add to the thread, my husband Tarik and I have been together over four years and plan to celebrate our fourth anniversary in Morocco this summer. Much like everyone it has taken work, understanding, patience (he helped me), consideration for each other to get here. Honestly, he has been great, seeing him grow in his English skills, learning slang, he has become a comedian and is quite good at comebacks. He helps me at home, learned how to cook a bit any little thing he does to make me feel special counts and vice versa. I am working on my Masters so when I study I hear him in the kitchen with my teen son talking about everything under the sun, what a great feeling knowing he has found his place in the family. I knew how he would feel when he left home as I experienced the same at age 18 when I joined the Army and left the US for the first four years. I was very accommodating to his needs so the first few months we travelled a bit so he could meet my family (13 siblings) to integrate him. He quickly started ESL classes, started driving and he went to temporary agencies to get work until he found a permanent job.
He is not much of a social person with other Moroccans, he prefers to volunteer at church and with the Parks and Recreation Department and has made great friends with the neighbors. Interesting enough older people gravitate to him at every gathering we ever attend. The funniest thing to happen to him, he was asked where he was from and of course his response was "Morocco." Then he was asked, "is that in Mexico?" I about fell out laughing so hard. We live near San Antonio and he is always asked if he is Mexican or they speak to him in Spanish. I always have to explain he does not speak Spanish.
It is a blast being married to him, there is never a dull moment and yes I love his accent and how he regularly says things back wards. Next in line is his citizenship and then the sky is the limit as I love to travel and he is too willing to please me and experience life....
Yes there is good and bad everywhere if I had picked a bad apple, I would never blame all Moroccans I would say "shame on me" learn from the experience, have no regrets and move forward life is too short to have it any other way.
I bought the cutest shirt from Amazon last night that says, "My Husband was Imported from Morocco." I bought it to use during Zumba lol he thinks I am silly but I liked it.
Much Love from Texas...

MIBEN got a reaction from LizzieBee in A Moroccan man just gave me some advice...you may not like it tho....
Whew..... I made it to the end of the thread can I just say, "I love my Moroccan husband!!! Even with our differences we always work to understand each other and with understanding and respect comes love. I have Love and respect for him that come what may I would never say an unkind word towards him. Bottom line I love him for who he is and will always wish him the best. No regrets!! I know someone will say oh that is corny, or wait until you get scammed, etc... I view our relationship as blessing in my life. Life has so many lessons, for me it is about truly understanding your partner and having no regrets it all about our choices.
Good luck to all the new relationship and amen to the ones that are still working all I can say is "understand him or her" regardless of their country of origin.

Wow run, two months and talking about marriage before meeting aside from the fact that you can loose custody of your kids. Why are you still talking to him? I say focus on your children it seems you plate is full enough. I am surely not trying to offend you.
Good luck

Congrats on finally getting your visa and good luck on your transition to be with your wife. Once in the US look for ESL classes to learn basic English they are free and can help make your transition easier....
Good luck,
