Question:

My fiance has been in security checks at DOS for almost 6 months now after his consulate interview. I called yesterday to get status. The lady said that he is still pending security checks and that the last update to his case was on June 17, 2008.

Does anyone know what an "update" means in regards to pending security checks with DOS?

Tammy,

My fiance has been in AP for 5 1/2 months now. Do I need to contact Casablanca consulate? if so am i jusst asking for status. I call DOS almost every day and they tell me "still pending name check".

Thanks,

Elizabeth

i will try to make this short.....my fiance was engaged before to american girl. she applied for a k1 visa for them. they got as far as his interview. he interviewed (feb 2005) and the consulate told him that they were sending back to the states for more proof of relationship. they told him they will contact him but he never heard from them. months later the relationship ended and he didnt think about the visa again....moving forward....he found me and we are getting married and will be applying for k1. he later that year applied for tourist visa to go visit his sister in chicago who also married an american but the moroccan consulate denied due to her bank statement didnt have her maiden name on it.

he does not have the receipt number for the k1 cuz he said he took all his paper work to the consulate when he interviewed so i dont have this number to check the system even if there was a status. so my question is this.....can we assume that the case is closed on the k1 since is be way over a year? how can we get this receipt number to check if there is status on the is k1? he has tried to contact the consulate office with no success by phone and email. his next step is going to casa to talk to the consulate office but before he goes i just wanted to see if anyone has an idea on this.

we have decided to get a lawyer since this does not seem like a straight forward case but i have not hired one yet. any suggestions on this being a good idea on getting a lawyer due to the past visas he has applied for? or could i just go and do the paperwork myself and save me $1800?

thanks for helping

Hi SonicLiz,

I just read your post. I see u just got back from morocco. My fiancee is in Khemisset. I was there in april 2006 and wanting to go back in nov. I have not started the process for the k1 visa cuz im thinking to get a lawyer. Tarik, my fiancee, is thinking we should marry in morocco cuz he thinks its more of a guarantee for us not to get denied. we miss each other so much. i know u know the feeling.

Did you apply on your own or getting help from a lawyer?

Did you and ur fiancee discuss the k3 visa?

I dont meet to sound pushy or anything, im just desperate for a friend who is going thru what i'm about to venture and your the closest person i have found on here or anywhere else to the starting process.

At this point im so emotional about it all and i dont want to wait anymore to be with him. if, i was able i would move to morocco in a heart beat. i loved it there, the ppl, & the culture. i need a support group....LOL

Can we chat? i'm mistizagirl on yahoo

I would like to hear about your story....

Take care,

hi, im new to this site and trying to figure out how to use it. my fiancee is in khemisset, morocco and we want to apply for k1 or k3 visa. im looking into a lawyer for our process. i was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions.... would it be better for us to marry in morocco and file for k3 or go with the k1 and marry here? would getting a lawyer help me to better my chances of me not messing up the process and it taking forever to get approved? my love thinks we should marry in morocco and then file for k3 visa. he thinks its more of a guarantee for us to finally be together. thanks for your help.....elizabeth
