    It's a waiting game with the Casablanca consulate. They will reach out to you by email with "packet 3" which will contain your interview date along with instructions to prepare for the interview. There's no standard timeline for when this will happen. Some people wait a few weeks, others wait several months.

    The Casablanca consulate schedules all K-1 interviews, you don't need to do anything further at this time. It could take up to several months to receive an interview date.

    It seems like they likely denied you based on other factors like the age gap. Obviously no one here can tell you for sure, but we can tell you that K-1 visas in Casablanca are commonly denied with no real explanation. The I-129F petition expiration is just what is going to happen when the petition is sent back, I don't think you were denied because it isn't valid. Unfortunately this scenario is pretty common and the best course of action now is to get married and file a spousal visa petition.

    Typically it takes a week or less for the visa to be received, but I've also seen cases where it took several weeks. If he lives close to Aramex, he could try walking in and asking about the status in person. It would not be the first time that Aramex has failed to notify that the passport is ready for pickup. He could also try calling them if he lives further away.

    No, he won't need to provide any bank statements. And he certainly doesn't need $10,000 to get an interview. The only additional things that will need to be paid before the interview is the fee for the medical exam (usually anywhere from $200-$300) and the $265 paid either in cash on site at the consulate on the day of the interview or shortly beforehand at Banque Populaire. My Moroccan fiancé (now husband) didn't provide any financial information for himself and didn't need to prove he was employed. He was approved with no issues.

    His income is not relevant. They will only be looking at your (the petitioner's) income.

    If you want to take the risk of mailing it, I highly recommend FedEx. My husband recently mailed an envelope from the US (Illinois) to Morocco (Casablanca) and it arrived in Morocco in just under 3 days. He also was able to select the option for the recipient to pick up the package directly at the Casablanca FedEx office, reducing the risk of it getting lost in the unpredictable Moroccan mail system. It is expensive, but worth it imo.

    Unfortunately I don't have any helpful advice other than keep waiting. I did hear that Casablanca recently sent out a few more K-1 interview dates this past week. I even heard that one person who received an interview date had been waiting since March 2023. Others were all in the June - September 2023 range. Interviews are being scheduled as far out as August 2024. Hoping that you will hear something very soon!

  23. RJandHamid
    I've been following visa cases at the Casablanca consulate for several years now and I've known a handful of same sex couples who successfully received K-1 visas. Everyone I spoke with said they were actually surprised by how kind and understanding the consular staff were. I haven't seen same sex couples try for a spousal visa in Morocco (probably because the online marriage option is still fairly new and I think getting married in a 3rd country and then returning to Morocco can be potentially risky), but that doesn't mean it hasn't possibly happened. But like everyone has already said, you are going to need to meet this person at least once, I don't think you are going to find a way around this requirement.
  24. RJandHamid
    Casablanca does not allow you to schedule the K-1 interview yourself, you'll need to wait for them to give you an interview date via email.
  25. RJandHamid
    You can go ahead and pay the fees now if you want. Or you can pay in cash at the consulate when you attend your interview. It's not uncommon to be waiting 3-5 months for a K-1 interview at the Casablanca consulate at this time.

    Hello everyone, I'm in the process of creating a checklist of documents that my fiancé will need to start to prepare after we receive our NOA2. I'm looking at the Casablanca consulate website and it states that both a Singlehood certificate and the Non-Remarriage certificate needed. My fiancé thinks that these are both the same documents, but he is not entirely sure so I'm hoping someone here might have a definite answer. Are the Singlehood certificate and Non-Remarriage certificate the same document? This is the webpage I am looking at: https://ma.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/the-interview/ Thanks much!
