I do not know if that is true and if it is who cares, but getting divorced in the US solves a lot of issues and is likely to be much simpler.

If you never go there again you probably don't have worry about it

Why did you not divorce in the US State you live in?

You are still considered married in Morocco if your marriage took place in Morocco regardless of what you do here and can be problematic for you.

I'm American. I got divorced in Morocco. I paid a lawyer to represent me; I wasn't there. The ex had to see a judge many times. 

Anyway, if the Moroccan woman wants a divorce, she can do it, it will be a hassle. The judge will ask what happened, where is he... 

I wouldn't recommend getting married in Morocco. First, the family knows the courts will favor the Moroccan, doesn't the West do the same, but the difference is you are in a foreign legal system. I can understand if children are involved. But if that's not the case let the man go. Also, Moroccan woman recently got the right to ask for a divorce; they aren't going to give up that right and the benefits (your wallet) that come with it. Also remember woman marry up; there will be expectations - hidden agendas. Also there will be culture shock - Culture plays a big role in Morocco.

So, now let me be fair. I know several smart and religious men who found intelligent and religious Moroccan woman for marriage - Allahumma barak. I wasn't wise when I proposed; I had many red flags but didn't pay attention. Also, Westerners don't understand what colonization, historical trauma and generational poverty do to the mind. You can't understand why some Moroccans scam and insist on getting married in Morocco. So, try to learn the language, then begin to see the ugly and the beautiful side, the culture, and make a wise decision - apply that any poor country.

A friend told me about that right to ask for a divorce now and the benefits that come with it lol. Luckily I was able to get the divorce done in Morocco as well before she took advantage as apparently the American divorce means nothing if you married in Morocco, backwards country. She could of made a wave of problems for me there. What part of Morocco was the girl you married from?

I was just going to mention that. So easy peazy. And for Morocco K1 is a t=risk especially since you did it before.

I never done a K1, I did a CR-1 for my ex wife 11 years ago, the process for a K1 is easier than marrying in Morocco and doing a CR-1 but if it comes to that then that's what it is. If things do move forward

With both of u in  the US,  why are u concerned about Morocco?

US embassy will review and interview and a US divorce is legal under our laws

 

It will be up to the CO to review your evidence and question the new fiancee about her about the relationship and how much she knows you

the CO will look at how long u have known each other,  how  much time u have spent together,  your ages,  income and any red flags that come up  

and marriages do fail but if she's here and divorced ,  Morocco does not matter as u don't intend to marry there 

BUT again, u could not consumate after a zoom marriage as her family would consider u married to 1st wife

We will not be doing a zoom marriage, I was planning to go to Morocco at the end of February to meet her and the family and we have been talking now for a few months

Depends if u want the divorce recognized By Morocco 

Did the divorce have the consent of both parties ?

 

IS your former spouse still in Moroc?  If so,read the following

 

u can register by going thru the Moroccan laws for divorce in Morocco giving the Moroccan freedom to go with their life

And don't know who told u divorce was a pain in Moroc / it's rather easy and quickly/ people file papers , go before the judge (within a week) and are divorced .  

Its not fair for u to be divorced and the Moroccan  to be in limbo as still married 

 

Follow this to divorce Moroccan style 

Divorce
Please note that only in case of mutual consent of both spouses, the consular section can initiate the procedure that will allow them to get their divorce before a moroccan judge without the obligation to be present in Morocco.

• Consensual divorce affidavit: $36
• The non conciliation notary act: $36
• The power of attorney in case of consent: fees $ 40

Timeline of all that happened would be helpful

If former spouse is in the US, u could  still responsible for the I 864 

 

would US embassy approve a new K1 for another Moroccan?  u do know K1 in Casa is already hard 

 

And if u do not want to return to Moroc to file divorce there,  how will u meet after a Utah zoom to consumate the marriage understanding the culture and the Moroccan family will consider u still married to the other person?

 

Not quite sure why u think all this will work

My former spouse lives in America now and she doesn't plan to move back to Morocco, everything I am asking about has come up because I may marry someone else that is in Morocco now and I was just looking for clarity and as it is still early I will figure things out as they go along as I normally like to plan things before hand just to be ready(I plan my days by the hour so that should say a lot of how I go about plans lol)

the I-864 ended when she become a US Citizen so I am not worried about that.

2 of my friends have told me the process for divorce in Morocco is a pain, as one of them did go through it. I will see how things play out but I was hoping to just do a k1 visa and avoid anything with the Moroccan government.. getting married there was one of the worst experiences in my life and don't want to do it again but will if it ends up coming to that.

On your divorce in the US, did he sigh a Wavier in front of a US Notary at the US Embassy in Casablanca?  or did he sign the divorce papers , notarize them and send back to you?

Or was it a Divorce by Public Posting at US Court house?

 

 

This was at a US Court house in Las Vegas

One word of advice--don't rush into another marriage, and make sure that you spend a lot of time together in person with the person you are thinking about marrying before filing any petition, I-129F or I-130.  If you are from Morocco and your current love interest is also from Morocco, your case will be highly scrutinized.  Did you know the current love interest before you married the spouse you recently divorced in the US?

I am not from Morocco only my ex-wife is and she now lives in the states and I did not know the current person before as I got married 11 years ago in Morocco and remained married for almost 10 years

Divorced is divorced no problem there.

 

 

Now that sounds odd but it may just be a phrasing issue.

Ohh K1 Morocco, that does sound bad news.

🤣 it would be legit I am just not trying to do the legal marriage in Morocco again.. terrible process. Rather do it here in the states

Long story short I married in Morocco and got a divorce in America. I was introduced to someone for the possibility of marriage, I was wondering if there would be a problem if I file I-129F and get married in America since people told me that I am still considered married in Morocco. I don't really plan to go and file for divorce in a country I don't live in or will ever live in and I heard that the process is such a pain to do, I can only imagine since the process for getting married there as an American was just the worst dealing with the Moroccan government..

The I-129f instructions only states "If either you or your beneficiary were married before, submit evidence that all previous marriages were legally terminated. Evidence of termination of previous marriages may include a divorce decree, annulment, or death certificate issued by a civil authority." which my decree was issued by a civil authority where I reside.

Hello Guys,

I received en e-mail from NVC with a checklist stating that I must submit the following financial evidence:

[x] Proof of current employment (examples: a recently dated job letter, pay stub, or a copy of your business license).

When I looked over the copies I made of what I sent them turns out that was included.

I work as a freelance tailor, but at the moment i'm currently only working for a small company with many stores in my city. He pays me as an independent contractor 1099, as I don't have a set hourly/salary pay, or a set schedule If my service is needed I am contacted. The work, I do it from home, sometimes at his store if it's minimal work and has the required machines. On my I-864 the lady who I went with to get it filled out put on my application that I was employed. The letter of employment that I sent with the packet stated that I worked for him as an independent contractor. Could this have been what caused the NVC to ask for "Proof of current employment"? I called the NVC and the guy said that he can't see the paperwork, I told him how I work and he said to make my own Letter and to get an updated letter from the company.

Should I do exactly as he said? or should I take another route? I really don't want to wait another 60 days to hear back because I didn't send the proper paperwork.

Has anyone been in the same situation or can someone give me some advice?

Thanks ahead of time, I appreciate it.
