How is it suspicious? If you read my earlier posts I stated that the day of his visa interview is when I lost my job. I had to wait until I got a job, and then re-file for the visa. So yes, it took longer. I had to move my entire life across the country from VA to Idaho just to take a job just so I could re-file. So basically I had to start all over again. I can't help that. I can't afford to go to Morocco every year, and I don't have enough time from my job to go and marry him (it takes longer than 2 weeks to marry in Morocco). So for those of you wondering why, that is why. I don't need to justify my choices to anyone in this forum. I simply asked for tips for this next interview that is all. And honestly, if the consulate had LOOKED over our evidence the last time, instead of dismissing it then we wouldn't be going through any of this right now. It doesn't need to make sense to any of you because you're not the CO he will be interviewing with. If I sound offended, I am.

Dwheels76,

I can't afford to go there every year, I am in school full time working on my doctoral degree, AND I had to move 10 states away from my family and friends just to find a job. So, my last visit was in December 2012/Jan 2013. Each visit I had was at least 14 days or longer. If they want to know why we haven't married its because I don't have enough time off from work that it takes in order to get married in Morocco. So he can explain that. I don't think it looks bad that we haven't married. I think it looks good that even though we got rejected the first time, we are still together and tried again WITH a lawyer this time. That shows commitment at the very least. If he doesn't get the visa this time, then I will have to go there and marry him, they would leave me no choice.

Mike-eeh and Odie,

Thanks for this. We weren't together for 7 years when he tried for the visa the first time. We were together for 3. Anyway, he does know these things, so it will be easy for him to answer those, I'm just afraid he will be nervous and get confused or something. Anyway, we are going to practice as much as we can before the interview. That is something we did not do the last time. Thanks for giving me those sample questions.

iammrsregi,

From what I understand when he was denied the last time, they didn't necessarily not believe it was bona fide, they felt like they needed more evidence, at least that's what my lawyer told me when I was considering an appeal and he reviewed the letter my fiance' got. I couldn't do the appeal because I didn't have work and by the time I got work, time ran out. Anyway, I just don't understand how they could say we needed more evidence when they didn't even look at what he had. He couldn't answer where I went to school so that means he doesn't know me??? Please that's absurd. He knew I was in school, he knows I am in school currently for my doctoral degree, but honestly beyond that, we don't talk about it. It doesn't mean he doesn't know me. I think they were making it difficult on purpose.

Thanks everyone..You're responses are very helpful. Now one thing, I cannot attend the visa interview with him because, I just can't afford to go there. Now is something like that going to count against me? Also, we are practicing with him knowing all the information about me. I'm just afraid that they will ask him 1 question he may not be able to answer and poof...a seven year relationship is down the drain. Thank you for your help and I will definitely keep everyone posted. I have been looking over the reviews and I have found some very helpful information. Thanks again.

Thank you Pheebs1201. I am trying my best to prepare him. I am beyond nervous, and hoping for a better outcome compared to last times, awful experience. I'm hoping that the fact we got rejected the first time, refiled and have another interview 3 years later and re-filed with a lawyer counts for something. I will be devastated if he does not get it the second time around.

I too am in the same situation, preparing my Finace' for his interview. He is Moroccan and has been turned down before. It was very stressful for us. This time, we hope he is prepared. He will have his interview on December 22nd, and I am beyond nervous. We are hoping for a better turn out this time. Good luck to you.

Hi,

I am new to this website but I found it at the advice of a co-worker/friend who is going through trying to bring her husband over to the US as well. Anyway, here's my situation:

3 years; 6 months ago My fiance' from Morocco had his visa interview. He said it was only 5 minutes long. He said the CO asked him questions about where I lived. He knew the town in which I lived and the state (At the time it was Chase City, Virginia). However, he was asked what the closest city was and did not know. He also was asked where I went to school and also did not know (I never discussed that with him). Anyway, after failing to answer these questions, he was denied the visa and given the 221 g Letter immediately. It just so happened I got laid off that same day of the interview (worst day ever, tears the entire day). Anyway, It took me months and months to find another job, but I did and I had to move to Idaho, then Washington St (where I currently live). We re-filed for the K-1 (The last visit was December 2012/Jan 2013). This second time we re-filed I hired an immigration lawyer. He has been less than helpful, but that's another topic. Anyway, I want to know what we need to do to pass this second interview. We have been together a total of 7 years. I have been to visit him 3 times, and even after the first rejection and 3 years later, we decide to re-file. Does anyone have any good advice? His interview is on December 22nd. This could be the best or the worst Christmas of my life if he doesn't get it this time around. Please, I'm begging for some sound advice. With Sincere Thanks:-)

Hi,

I'm also in the same situation. My fiance' is Moroccan and we applied for the K-1 Visa in 2010 and he got the interview in June of 2011. He said his interview was only 5 minutes. The CO asked him about where I lived and what was the closest city (he did not know the closest city). She also asked him where I went to school (he didn't know that either). She said she didn't believe we really knew each other and denied the visa, and refused to look at our mount of evidence. This time, I hired a lawyer, and he is due for his interview on December 22nd. I'm nervous as we both are unsure if he will get it. I told him to review the information I have been sending him daily so that he can remember. Anyway any advice?
