Thank you to ALL!!

I finally meet with my husband friday night alhamdulillah!! He processed through Atlanta airport was about 2 hrs or so waiting but all went very well. Finally have my husband here with me with great joy and happy reunion. Sometimes I think I can't believe he's finally with me here after waiting 3yrs to be together.

Thanks again!!

Fatimah (Khadija)

What wonderful news!!!!!!!! I can only imagine what you must be feeling right now. How exciting that he may be with you as soon as next week. Best wishes for a sweet and well deserved reunion!

Maubrouk!!!! That is good news! I am so restless, myhusband goes b4 the "judge" on monday!

What are you doing in here Me&My? Im looking for you in the thread u started?? Well, whats the happs with your hubby? Or did I miss ur reply???

I didn't add anything more to my thread because I figured everyone was getting tired of seeing it!

He finally gave them everything they needed on Tuesday. He was told he would get a call for the visa in 1-2 weeks. I am excited that the interview part is over. Now it is just the waiting for THE CALL that I'm having a hard time dealing with. I can hardly sleep!

I don't want to take away from fatima's thread of good news! My wait is nothing compared to what she has endured. My hat goes off to you fatima!

This was my husband's second interview for K3, we have waited a very long time.

You know I am so happy for you that I am having a hard time not crying. Seeing what you went through and how patient you were really amazed me.

thank you so much and your support helped me alot!

Thank you ladies!

After long wait since my husband's denial April 2005 we finally have the visa alhamdulillah!

Soon he will be here hopefully next week inshallah.

Ladies just wanted all who are still waiting there are hope at Casa consulate.

Fatimah (khadija)

If you marry during Ramadan, it wouldn't be the first time someone has done so, and isn't haram, but it is discouraged due to the emphasis on devotion to God rather than worldly concerns during that time.

Yes yes yes....that is exactly what I was thinking, but I had no idea how to put it in words. This is perfect. Does anyone know of a website that explains Ramadan and the traditions? I can't find one that explains it.

Assalamo alaikom

There are many websites but perhaps this will can be of some service to you...

OMGoshhhhhhhhhhhhh

My countdown has began.

DH is riding to Fes with his brother. Then he will get on a train to Casablanca. I am not sure yet if his brother will go with him to casa, he wants to but DH says no. His father also wanted to go. My husband said it was just to darn hot to have anyone come with him. Then again they may decide to drive to Casa, I don't know.

He will get on the plane tomorrow. He said he would call me when he gets to Casa. I sure wish he could call me from Frankfurt. I am going to ask him if he can convert some money and maybe call me when he gets there. It is a 3 1/2 flight. He has a 4-6 hour layover there. Then the 9 hour flight to home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been so useless this week. I am surprised I could even work!! I picked up extra days to try and keep my self busy. I was going to work 5 (12 hour) shifts but I decided today to cut one out...tomorrow. I don't think I can handle the stress of waiting and working!!!

Can anyone tell me if this is normal???

I have been married now over 2 1/2 years and never dreamed it would take this long to get my husband here. I am soooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!! I can't think, I can't sleep, I am just a silly mess!!

Ok done now. Sorry for being coo coo.

I think I will go out and enjoy the cool evening. It has cooled down here considerably. Thank goodness! Or, maybe not. ???? Since I don't have to work tomorrow I will find something to do.

Things I could do>>> wash car, (wow I can see him riding down the street in the HHR!!!!), weed the garden, (dang wish the tomatoes were ripe, wonder if he likes fried green ones?), pick some roses, (ohh his favorite!), take a swim, (oh man I can't wait to take him to the water!!)...or just chill and listen to the twil light song of the birds...my fav.

Hi Barbara,

I am so very happy for you!!! Soon your husband will join you here woow how so very exciting.

By the way our I130 has been touched 3 times now in less than 1 week. The dates have changed 3 times now how exciting this is to know. I hope it means something good for us. We too have been married 2.5 years and hoping to be together soon inshallah.

Enjoy your new wonderful life!!

Khadija

Hi Rebecca,

How are you? Long time since reading post/message from you. Although I have been so very busy

Khadija

It is perfectly normal how you are feeling.

Abderrafie's layover was in Frankfurt. He had exchanged money into Euros in Morocco, bought a phone card at the airport in Franfurt and called me. He also killed time in the duty-free shops and came with more chocolate than a candy store.

I cannot wait to hear about your reunion!!!

I have mixed feelings right now because as much as I want to be happy it is so hard to see those who are way ahead of us in this process who are still waiting each day for hope. It isn't fair that we got this before you it isn't right and there is no reason for it. All I can think is that we have been extremely lucky. I hope you know how sincere I am about this and that I wish more than anything that those of you waiting will get your turn soon. Hicham and I appreciate you all so much and all of your help, your responses, your knowledge and everything. Of course we are happy but it just isn't right that you guys have had to wait for so long. I'm so sorry for all the pain you go through waiiting.

All I can say is that we have been EXTREMELY lucky in this process.

Hicham got his Visa today in Casablanca.

Thank you all so much for everything we would not be in this position without all of you.

Sarah and Hicham

I am very happy to know of your good news!!

Did they specifically indicate that the denial was because that she is older than he is? My husband, who is also in Morocco, was told by a friend that he was denied because his wife is much oder than he is. I'm also quite a bit older than my husband, so I was very concerned to hear of this. I called the embassy in Rabat and the USCIS to ask if that was a valid basis for denial. They said it is not and that there must be more to it.

Later, the couple involved was told that the denial was because they hadn't had a wedding. Well, we didn't have a wedding either, but this is my second marriage, and I didn't have a wedding the first time, as well. So, now we've got a big age gap and no wedding . . . bummer!

I suppose that they have to have something to go by for evidence, especially when the couple is living apart. But the process seems to allow for the interjection of stereotypes and personal prejudices. I know several interracial marriages that sailed thru immigration, so they don't seem to care about race. I know lots of them where the man was much older than the woman, so that seems to be ok. Who knows?

Anyway, enough rambling. Don't be surprised if they come back with some other excuse for the denial. In the meantime, your friend should contact their representatives in Congress. With all the haranging about immigration in the news, legislators are becoming very sensitive to legal applicants because they don't want to be viewed as hypocrites if they support amnesty for illegals or as two-faced if they don't.

Like I just posted, the CO said she does not believe the husband loves the wife, he only wants a green card.

There are many many couples denied visas in Morocco when the women is older. I am one of them!!! So is my friend. There are quite a few of us. If you beleive what Rabat says, then please call them back and ask them why Casa denies most of these couples??? It started happening in 05. The reason given? "Denied due to the validity of the relationship".

Denial because of no wedding??? Where is the law that says one has to have a wedding for a valid relationship???

My husband had a 5 minute interview wherein the CO said "I need more info from America" making my husband think our file was not complete and he just needed to get some paperwork form the NVC. Liar. Our case has since been reaffirmed by CIS. My friend suffered the same fate and her case was reaffrimed as well.

We both had lots of proof of our relationships. The problem was the CO didn't want to see it. The CO just denied the visa and returned the case saying we did not establish a valid relationship.

So now we are at my friends second interview after proving to CIS that she and her husband have a real marriage and still they get the run around from Casa!!!!!!!

In Morocco the specific concern is fraud.

It is true that a large age gap is a red flag, but the CO must take into consideration all evidence that is put forth. In many cases, Casa is not doing that. They do have challenges to face considering they are a high fraud post, but they are not handling them in the proper way.

I understand that. But they must have proof of fraud. This case was deneid last year (K3) reaffirmed by CIS and sent back to DOS to take action on...ie issue visa and yet Casa once again says...we don't believe it!!!

The CO MUST??????? The CO does what they want!!! Not only does the CO have the first set of evidence form the couple they have the evidence sent in from CIS and more collected from the couple since then.

This now is regarding an immigrant case which just can't be sent back, it must be shown why they won't issue the visa.

Did they specifically indicate that the denial was because that she is older than he is? My husband, who is also in Morocco, was told by a friend that he was denied because his wife is much oder than he is. I'm also quite a bit older than my husband, so I was very concerned to hear of this. I called the embassy in Rabat and the USCIS to ask if that was a valid basis for denial.

It seems the key to get through this process as smoothly as possible is building an extremely strong case. It takes a lot of forethought, which sometimes is just not possible, but I think almost every couple has a "red flag" or 2. I think if you're able to anticipate those and provide enough support to show they are not issues, then they are no longer viewed as such. This case being discussed in this thread is heart breaking and I pray they can find a way through this.

You know, we had not planned on having a big wing-ding wedding. We are quiet simple people and just want the ceremony for what it is. But we are left feeling we must make a bigger deal out of it then we want to just have to the darn PROOF to present when needed. Love is a difficult thing to prove on paper... grrr.

I can't imgine having CIS reaffirm the case can be any stronger. They provided all the proof and still the CO says she doesn't believe he loves her. This is just her personal opinion, not a fact.

I am sure everything said here are all true BUT you must know it is traditional to have a Moroccan wedding with the family as a celebration. It is a way to prove you are married with family and friends at Morocco. My husband and I married at Morocco, we are both very simple muslim people BUT we still had a simple traditional wedding with family and friends of family to acknowledge our marriage to many people. I am sure this is what the CO had in mind because they know it is traditional at Morocco. Even if we are simple people it should have been preformed this way to make all family and friends know the marriage was accomplished. You should have photos for proofs as well.

Just my thoughts on this.

Okay, to deny a visa because they didn't have a wedding party is just plain stupid. I didn't have one either. Why? It took so long to get the approval that we didn't get married until the Friday before I left at 2:00. It was Ramadan and the whole thing was just plain difficult. We got married on a friday, left with his family to Marrakech on Satuday, which was already the plan, came back on Monday and flew home on tuesday. Even if we hadn't gone to Marrakech we couldn't have planned a wedding that fast.

One other point to make on this, I didn't have a wedding reception on my first wedding as well. We went to Vegas and got married. I had 4 kids with this man and was married for 15 years. Using their logic that marriage wasn't real as well. What does a party have to do with a real marriage????

Idiots!

I'm sorry if you think they are idiots actually they are not, CO know exactly what to look for to determine if marriages are fraud or not. Not saying yours or mine or anyone here have fraud marriage so dont get me wrong. Its a big thing and traditional at Maroc all people there know this well. If you didnt take the time to have a small celebration with family and friends there then this is why CO feels its fraud marriage(s). Also, as muslim we do a celebration as well here in america because it is a way to tell all people, friends we are married and making a announcement as happy ocassion. This is part of Islam to us muslim people.

My thoughts

Khadija

I have a question for the Muslim women in this forum... have you always been Muslim or did you recently convert? Just curious to know your guys' stories on religion!

I am revert to Islam 4 yrs ago.

is there anything our sister can do? :

Hello All VJ's

Yesterday my honey was to arrive to Denver via POE Atlanta. But he never arrived!

I was in complete hysteric and attempt to call him on his cellular throughout the night. Needless to say, he called me at 4 am this morning to tell me that he has been detained and pending deportation.

I asked him why? and he said that they wanted him to sign a document, but they did not tell him the content of the document and he refused to sign it. They kept him in detention for 27 hours before deporting him. He said he do not know where they will be taking him because they confiscated his passport and visa. I called the immigration and they told me that they could not provide me with information, due to the Privacy Act. They said that I must talk to my fiance. My fiance called me soon after to tell me that he was leaving Atlanta in 10 minutes and I asked him a ton of questions but the officer behind him threathen to hang up the phone if he answered my questions. BTW, my fiance said they told him that he is ban from the USA for 5 years!!!!

I'm at a lost here and I do not know what to do!!!! Can someone provide me with some guidance here. I feel after all of my hard work, I failed in getting my honey home and now his life is totally screwed because of me

I lived in Georgia and always processed through Atlanta Immigration once returning from Morocco. During my last trip from Morocco this year March 27, Immigration officer asked me so many questions especially when he saw where I worked at (Aerospace Company). Come to find out he previously worked at the same company I did so this was a positive towards me although I am muslim lady who covers.

I feel for the lady who is in trouble with Immigration. I find that Atlanta Immigration are pretty tough for many reasons that so many foreigners are coming through Atlanta now than before.

I'm sorry I know my comments are no help but will send many prayers for her.

Khadija

Hi guys,

Our case was approved today in California!! I'm so happy and so is Hicham. You can probably expect a lot of questions that are going to spew out of me in the next few days so sorry in advance. Thanks for all of your help! You guys have been so great and extremely helpful. Have a great day!

Sarah

Horray for you both!! I'm happy for you. It should not take so long now for the second notice from NVC.

Khadija

sarah... i told you last night in chatting... but will tell you again this morning...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

seems like we will be going through this process almost hand in hand!

i am thankful to the ones who have gone before me and post their experience... because i can learn from them... so, we will learn together!

*hugs*

love ya chick!

Yes, I agree... anything new or more info anyone has on their interview at Maroc,Casablanca please share with us. We are awaiting on interview as well but for K3 for the times 2.

Khadija

Hi Ladies - Well Youssef and I have been talking lately about somethings and I thought I'd throw some of it out there and see what you all think. He has been here for almost four months now and we're in the process of filing our AOS papers. I have found a few good job opportunities in Morocco just browsing corporations (Hewlett Packard etc.) and have a job waiting at any time if I want to teach English (about 9000dh a month). We are thinking of moving back to Morocco once he has his green card. His mom is not doing so well (health-wise) and I really do love living there. We are considering taking out a loan or getting some type of development loan (which exist when you want to start a business in a developing country) to start some kind of business for him. Eventually I want to open a shelter for women and children in Marrakech, with job training and basic educational opportuinties but that's a little way off. We have a 2 year old and I want him to go to a French/Arabic/English private school in Marrakech. Youssef has 5 sisters in Morocco, all who love him and said that if we moved back and we were working it would be no problem for them to watch him. Part of me is really wanting to do this, but part of me feels like we're giving up by moving back. I have always wanted to live overseas and work in development projects and it seems like the perfect opportunity. It's still 1-2 years off but what do you think??

Hi, just a little word but no advise to this because I have thoughts as the same as you too. Just wanted to let you know there is a group called"Road2Morocco". It's a group who are either currently living in Morocco or just as you "thinking on this". It maybe a good idea to join to get a better perspective on this matter. You can inquire to all questions you have regarding the move or not move to Morocco and the pro/cons. There are ladies there who have moved and currently living at Morocco some in the process, some will give you a better idea and some who have absolutely enjoyed their life there. So think about it!

Best of Luck!!

Khadija

THEY GOT THE VISA!!!!!!!!!!!

SARAH

As-salamualikum wa-rahmatulla wa-barakatu

Hope all you are fine here Inshallah

I am posting this letter for asking all of you to pray for my wife.

Yesterday midnight suddenly my wife started throwing up blood and then went to hospital about 6 am, Still she is in the hospital under the doctor’s investigations.

Please pray to almighty Allah (swt) for her soonest recovery.

Thanks to all for your prayers

Wa alaikom assalam wa rahmatullah wa barakatohi

I am sorry for your wife's illness. May Allah grant her a better health. My prayers for her speedy

recovery.

Khadija

Simo,

It is really nice of you to post an apology though it was never needed. I'm surprised at some comments when all you did was post your interview and post your thoughts. It will be a great help to those following in Morocco. I pray you receive your call soon and then arrive home safely to Carrie.

Doreen

thank you very much myfellah, it's nice of you really,i wanted to excuse because some persons made it tragedic and thought i was celebrating while alll i wanted is to help guys here in morocco so i didn't mean to hurt anyone .

anyway am glad to have you and alll friends in this forum with their great support as always.

best regards

You did great with all the info you gave out to anyone who needed ideas of what to expect either for husband(s) or fiance. Do not feel there was a need for an apology. I feel some people here at VJ post improperly or venting perhaps have assumption to satisfy themself. My husband brought my attention to your post and we were thankful to all your input. Good wishes to you and your love one. I feel a visa will be on its way to you soon.

Allah with you!

Much regards

Khadija

Geeesh baby, you think you talked long enough....hahahaha!

Hi Carrie,

Congratulation! I am happy your fiance post a long explaination. This is great news and he did very well with confidence. Well prepared is great to know he was able to overcome obstacles. My husband and I were discussing your fiance post. This is good to know to help others for interview

Khadija

Just wanted to post SO has his interview this morning and he just said everything went GREAT. Of course he got the usual 221g for additional processing and was told they would call him in maximum of one month. He got the blonde lady and said she was nice. He said all the Consular Officers are actually very nice. She questioned him for about 20-25 mins, asking same questions multiply times in different ways (thank God I prepared him for that). She asked pretty much the same questions everyone asks.

How did you meet

When did you meet

How many times did she come see you

Do you have any pics

How often do you speak on the phone (daily and slide phone bills to her)

What is your phone number

Do you have any other numbers

He pretty much gave her his life story in 20 min . After she handed him the paper and told him it was normal and not to worry, that is was just for more processing in Washington. He did ask her 2 more times if everything was ok, that please he HAD to tell his fiance something when he leaves. She said for him to tell me that everything is just fine.

So I am extremely relieved this is over and now I can go get some sleep.

Carrie and Simo

I am very happy for both of you alhamdulillah. Sounds like you both will be together soon.

Wow, this is great!

Khadija

I'm just wondering how many of you changed your last name (obviously, that is, if you are a woman, which most of us are!) From what Wadi told me, it is not common practice in Morocco - is that true? I didn't change my name.

Hi there, it's not common at any muslim country. The wife normally keeps her family name. But here in america I assume this is where you will reside its' common here to take our husbands name. Actually, I married in Morocco but for better indications show you are truly serious of your relationship via the paperwork I would change it to your husbands name. My husband agreed as well.

Just my input.

Dear Jean:

Our deepest regret and sorrow on the loss of your father! God be with you and your family in this time of loss. Stay strong but not too strong as not to feel the pain from your loss. Your father will always live in your heart! Remember the good times.

Love Andrea

Jean, I am so sorry to hear your father passed. May Allah make it easy for you during these times. My prayers with you and your family.

Allah with you

Khadija

I have not posted since 2 weeks ago, but I want to say I am feeling better than before. I am still hanging strong and ready to take what ever comes my way.

I want to say congrats to those who have received their good news.

I have bad news from a friend that a young girl died abroad in Morocco, she went there to live with her husband because he was denied a visa. She was only 23 and for the past month had become very sick there. I hope you will take a moment to pray and perhaps light a candle.

Shoukran, Leila

Yes I heard of this too yesterday, and I am still very upset and sad of this news. My deepest prayers to her family and her husband. May Allah help them at this time. She also had a 2yr old daughter with her at Morocco.

Hi, I can't comment if you should come or not because its not my judgement thats only from Allah.

But since my husband and I have been waiting 2 years to get a visa from Casa for us to live a life together you are lucky alhamdulillah. We will be the happiest couple in US once Casa grants visa for us to be together.

You are in difficult situation and try talking to get some sense from all this you write.

true that to all comments....no money in.

Farah...good idea, never thought of that!!

-Sarah

yes, i meant you can send money by western union or money gram. actually money gram is much cheaper than western union and they just go to the bank and get it transfer to their DH. this is what i do many times.

To have a home phone and a cell phone is ridiculous amount to pay every month so we're disconnecting our home phone, we only use it for dial up internet and 1 phone call a month home to NZ.

Does anybody know the best calling cards out there to ring internationally? I've been looking online and there are SO MANY i'm totally confused now. I trust my fellow VJers more, SO here I am asking for your advice....

I have used pennytalk to call int'l it was about .99 to connect then .33/per min to morocco. I dont use a landline anymore because the charges were so expensive. I come out better using the cell and we have 3 now with nites and weekends free within the US and text msg are so cheap overseas.

Will morocco allow money gram from there to US? Money is not allowed to enter nor go out of Morocco. Also, I have used pennytalk to make calls to morocco i think it was .33/per min. Maybe someone else can give you a better choice.

You can go on the following government site and read more about the sec 212:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/ineligib...ities_1364.html

I have read that section over and over, no where did I see where it said what you said>>>

2) If I remember right you have a at least a 12+ year age difference. Anything over 10 years is a red flag based on Sec. 212 reasons a CO can use to deny.

Please show exactly where it is because I cannot find it.

Lets just be clear on one thing here. Most of the returns are "due to the validity of the relationship". If one has not yet received that information from your congressman or senator, you will.

As I posted earlier the consulate is not doing their job. Period. Thay complain they do not have enough time to take phone calls. They dont answer e mails. They are sending a message...they want more help. Mc Keever told Leila to tell her congressamn they need more help. This is a political issue and we are the pawns.

I had a conversation with another woman who was denied a visa also and she brought this to light from something she had read on line and when she read what McKeever said to Leila. It became so clear that the consulate is doing this in hopes of getting more help.

As we all know there are cut backs in every industry and occupation across our country. I am sure it is happening in the government ranks as well. But what Casa is doing is just plain wrong and thats my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

If anyone is interested how my case turns out, just e mail me and I will be more than happy to tell you. It will soon be over for us. I want to help as many other couples as I can who are lost in this black hole called immigration.

To tell you the truth, sometimes I feel the American Embassy at Casa have not idea what they are doing reference to the K3 petition. How come they denied many K3 petitions and returned them back to USCIS often? I feel they dont know how to process these but then again they are suppose to be current to all information regarding to Immigration process. Also, I think they hand out the "validity of relationship" as just a standard way to tell you really nothing. We all know this. They are making judgement calls but based on what we absolutely do not really know. Maybe it's recorded to our files back to USCIS or not, only Immigration can tell us that or we may not even know. Of it's recorded to our files there at Casa but again who knows. I know as much as info we can get to help us is better than nothing at all. I dont think big age difference should be factor for "red flag", then again who the heck knows? I havent seen that on the website either under section 212 and I have read that many times. Where exactly is it? I like to read that myself as well.
