Hi everyone,

It has been a long time since I posted on here. I am interested in finding out other people's experience on this topic. My husband and I are being posted to Egypt - my employment is with a US-based NGO. My husband is already in Egypt since he was able to find employment there. My husband is the green card holder originally from Morocco. He is still on his two-year conditional card, and this expires in October 2007, so we will need to apply to lift the conditions in June or July I believe. I realize this may be a very tricky situation. Our plans are to return to the US within the next three years. We do not know what kinds of implications there are for this kind of situation and I'm interested to know if anyone else has had experience with this kind of situation. This was an opportunity we could not pass up and were agreed that we would deal with whatever implications came up with his green card, but are hopeful that maybe it will work out.

Anyone have any advice or experiences they could share?

Thanks so much, and best for 2007 to everyone on here.

Hello everyone,

I have not been active at all on VJ for awhile. But decided to just come check in. It looks like a lot of folks have posted good advice and replies to this thread. I just wanted to reiterate what others have said and share our experience - I'm not sure why it seem like many people are getting this 221g coming out of Casablanca. It seems strange, and perhaps the Embassy has a reason for doing this. When my husband went thru his K-1 interview there (granted this was in April 2004 - so a lot could have changed there since then), it was very simple and easy. Maybe he didn't get this woman that all of you are talking about - in fact I think it was a man who intereviewed him. But in my mind the reason why he had no issues is because our case was clear, not complicated, well documented etc...For those of you who might have more complicated situations (for whatever the reason), the more documentation the better obviously. And for your guys, they just need to go into the interview with a clear head and calmly. It is so hard to predict what they are going to ask you. My husband's interview was less than 10 minutes. They asked him basic questions - how he and met, confirm that we are getting married within the 90 days, and what he is planning on doing when he gets to the US for work. It seems like we were really lucky compared to the vast majority of you, who seem to be having to go thru this 221g thingy. I'm not sure why...it is strange.

Anyway - I wish all of you luck.
