  1. it is very normal. Don't panic The hard part is over. Your visa is issued and it is only matter of days now before you have your passport back. Focus on spending time with the family during these last days of Ramadan and prepare for the move to the USA. Congratulations again
  2. Congratulations it might take up to a week for Aramex to receive the passport. You can track your passport here: https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ma/ma-main-contactus.asp#ChecktheStatusofYourPassport
  3. we are still waiting for them to call my wife for the updated medical. If they call for the medical, it will mean the visa is approved and is just pending medical
  4. Before I say this, keep in mind that not all cases are the same, and processing time is different from case to case: They gave my wife the same form in May 17, 2022 for additional documentation, we gave them the requested documentation in 26-May-2022, and the case is still pending since then. They updated the case several times (date changes), but the status never changed from Ready. They called my wife for a second interview in February 2023. After the interview, they told her all was good, but we haven't heard a thing yet from them. The last time the case was updated was 10-April-2023, and the case still shows Ready. Again, not all cases are the same. I think a joint sponsor case should be a lot less complex than a lot of cases, and you should hear from them soon Good luck
  5. Hello there, and welcome to Casablanca Consulate blackhole The date updates simply mean that someone at the consulate "touched" the file. There is no visibility as to what the update is. So hold tight. If the only thing they asked for is the joint sponsor and you provided the right documents, then you should be ok, just be patient. The thing with Casablanca is when a case is not approved on the day of the interview, they seem to put it to the side, and no one knows when they will work on it again. Let's hope your case will not delay and you'll hear from them soon. Did they give you a form 221(g) for the joint sponsor? if so, what color was the form?
  6. It is the CO’s decision during the interview. If I was you, I would be ready with a joint sponsor to prevent any delays after the interview
  7. He can't leave the international area as he needs a visa to enter France He will have to stay in the transit area all that time
  8. I agree with @TBoneTX that each and every case is different and that what happens in one consulate does not translate to other consulates. I have been tracking cases at the Casablanca Consulate that went from Ready to Refused for almost a year, and then Expired for almost a week or two before it changed to Refused, and than it changed completed to a NonImmigrant Visa Application with Application Received status Things can be crazy
  9. They only answer the first email with a bogus reply stating the case is under AP, and then the following emails go to their junk folder. all we can do is wait, hoping for an approval every week. We started to hate weekends and holidays because we know they don’t work. Monday is my favorite day of the week now
  10. They have everything they need. They called my wife for a second interview in February 2023 and asked for pictures from my last visit (December 2022). They asked the same blanket questions and took the pictures. They told her all is good and they will call her for the next steps. And they went silent again
  11. Several people go through the same treatment in Africa and MENA countries. Only can hope for the best. they don’t answer emails (they feel they don’t have to). And there is no phone number to contact them directly
  12. yes they still have her passport, and the case status never changed from Ready since the case was transferred from NVC to the consulate on April 15 2022
  13. Keeping the passport doesn’t mean anything at all. Casablanca consulate kept my wife’s passport since May 17 2022, and we are still waiting for an answer
  14. Casablanca does not allow couple interviews: only the applicant will be allowed to enter the consulate for interview. K1 visa process actually includes marriage (if K1 visa is issued) once the applicant enters the US, and then AoS. I believe that OP is worried about the length of CR1 process and did not explain that clearly, so they decided to go the K1 route (presumably faster), and being together with their fiancée (future spouse) while going through AoS
  15. wet signature and scanned back into the system. otherwise, it will be rejected
  16. Nothing yet, and they are not providing any updates at all. They have kept my wife's passport since 17 May 2022 Ceac still shows Ready (hasn't changed since the initial interview). Case last updated on 16-Mar-2023
  17. based on our experience, you should get your interview letter beginning of April for an Interview Mid May But, this is only one data point, things change all the time
  18. you will get the sealed envelope with your passport at Aramex No need to stress out about anything, just keep waiting for the status in ceac to change to Issued
  19. It is normal to return all the original documents and any evidence presented during the interview. They will keep the copies and translations of all needed documents and will put them in the sealed envelop that the applicant will bring with them to the US. The applicant will have to give that envelop to the immigration officer at the Port of Entry in the US.
