Aicha,

There is not much that I can say except that I hope that you will find an answer to your prayers and that you will find the right way to solve this horrible situations. I have not spend much time in morocco - total of about 30 days but I have witnessed the enormous amount of corruption - it is truly disgusting and the worse part is that most of the time is just pure jealousy that is behind these actions affecting lives of so many people.

My prayers are with you and your husband.

Stay strong,

Dorothy

Dorothy,

You are so correct in your statement, the corruption here is a lot of jealousy issues - I just can not follow that path of condoning what they do here by paying out bribes to get what I want - we will find a way to fix everything and it will be done the right way. My heart goes out so much to those who are continually having to pay out money in bribes for things. Our sister just had a baby and we had to pay money to the nurses just to take care of here and give her medicine - our mom could not even stay at the hospital with her without us having to pay a lot of money to stay, like it was a hotel or something - crazy!

I pray for you and your love to be together forever soon. I know how hard this process is and yes at times you get tired of being patient and waiting everything out, this process is really hard and emotionally draining. But you are a strong woman and you know that the love you have with your man is real so you will get through this i know that. I will keep you both in my prayers. God bless you.

AJ1

Thank you so much for your prayers - we will make it - I believe that with my whole heart and soul!

I know that you don't like the idea of leaving Morocco and reentering in order to extend your tourist visa, but you really might need to do it in order to buy yourself more time, no? It would make me very nervous to be in Morocco without a valid visa, so just make sure that you're careful, aicha. Better to hop a ferry to Spain and back to have your visa extended until October and have more time to figure out a course of action than have to deal with the consequences of overstaying your current visa. Good luck to you!

Just wanted to express sympathy and second this. Make sure you keep your end legal; the last thing you need is another hassle at this point. Hang in there; you'll get through this.

Tahnk you and you are right - I am not about to do anything illegal in this process - we will endure and survive and be stronger because of it!

I do not know how to feel anymore - I thought I would be okay through all of this - even when we kept getting screwed by all of the processes and how they handled our case. First our denial on our K3 and then finding out the reasons were just so out of context and then finding out that our CR1 petition was approved January 31 and should have been in process at the NVC, but my Senator finds out that the CSC erroneously sent it to storage instead of to the NVC! Now we are having to wait even longer for the processing of it. But I still thought I would be okay because my husband and I were together.

I sold everything I own to move to his country to live side by side with my husband until we could return together to the states to start and build out future together. The police and authorities here all told me the same thing - you have nothing to worry about - you can stay here for years, no problem. We did what we were supposed to do and filed my papers here - I went through the interview and the papers were sent off to Rabat for approval stamping - little did we know the man at the Foreigner's Office here requested that I only be given four months. He said we should not have needed any more time than that. We filed all the papers we needed to get my residence permit, which is good for 10 years. But this man screwed us - after two and a half months of waiting - we got our papers back and they only gave me until June 20 to stay here in this country - not a residence permit, only a temporary VISA stamp in my passport. We asked if they will extend it - can we file more papers - the man told us No!

So now not only are we having to endure the American government, but now also the Moroccan government. I do not understand how these people actually sleep at night with their selves - really! My husband and I have shared the last three days now just watching each other and tears falling - we do not even know where to go from here - we both hurt so much more then we can even explain. Both of our families are beside themselves - the hurt is tenfold for all of us!

I am not standing by anymore while the governments of this world continue to do this to innocent people who just try so hard to follow the laws that govern us in life. I am preparing letters/articles to be submitted to any and all media agencies, as well as government agencies. I am not sitting on my hands anymore - it is time we all stand up for our rights and the right to have a process that is fair and just for those that follow the law to do it right. I am so tired of just sitting back and hearing story after story of complete heartbreak in so many people - I really do not understand how so many people in this system over the years have just not done anything to change this. I can not sit back and watch one more person have to bare these atrocities.

Right now I do not even have money to fight this - I have spent every dime I had to fight our own process and denials and on and on, but I will find a way to make this happen, if I have to start walking across America to make a point! I for one can not handle one more hang in there - stay strong comment - I will stay strong by fighting this system and getting the national public to pay attention to what is happening to innocent people who are just trying to love and marry and be happy and do it legally!!

Hi Aicha--Your experience is really frightening to all of us getting ready to go through the Moroccan consulate. It seems that Americans have no rights when it comes to immigration of fiances from there. Be assured you are in my prayers--I wish I could stay with Hamid in Morocco forever!!! Keep the faith....Debbie

Debbie - thank you for the prayers - I guess if I was just his fiance I could understand them not allowing me to stay very long here, but I am his wife and we did all of the process and the interview for my residence permit, which is supposed to be good for ten years, but the man at the foreigner's office put in our papers to only request an extension and not the actual residence permit. Try not to be scared, just make sure you are prepared for everything! Good luck to you and yours!

Aicha

How much could it be to give the guy a little money to extend the visa?

It is not really the point of how much it would be - it is the point that it is not ethically right to do this and I will not be one who condones what is happening here. If I pay this man off - what kind of person does that make me - I am trying to do everything legal - everything right - if I start falling into the illegal class, then all of my words through this would have meant nothing. I understand why people do that - I am just not going to start following that path. I hope you understand what I am saying. My husband and I love each other more than anything in this world, but we will not taint our love or our beliefs by doing things that are just not right - and encouraging these corrupt individuals is just not right. Our doors will open and in the end we will walk away knowing we never compromised our selves to make it happen.

SORRY JENN - really sometimes I just hit that wrong button - I have to laugh at myself - it is that silly Arabic keyboard - lol!

You are right - leaving my husband is not something I want - he is my husband - when I married him I made a decision to be with him, whether it was here or there. The papers we filed were for a residence permit and the man merely put in the papers to request only an extension. I will not stay here illegally - not out to hurt our case in any way - I will do what I am having to do - this will give me a little time to take care of issues at home with my family and maybe get some things started for my fight against this system. I know my husband will not be far behind - I pray! Our Senator and the NVC have all agreed to work together on getting our CR1 expedited - now all I have to do is pray the CO opens again soon here.

I know that you don't like the idea of leaving Morocco and reentering in order to extend your tourist visa, but you really might need to do it in order to buy yourself more time, no? It would make me very nervous to be in Morocco without a valid visa, so just make sure that you're careful, aicha. Better to hop a ferry to Spain and back to have your visa extended until October and have more time to figure out a course of action than have to deal with the consequences of overstaying your current visa. Good luck to you!

You are right - leaving my hsuband is not something I want - he is my husband - when I married him I made a decision to be with him, whether it was here or there. The papers we filed were for a residence permit and the man merely put in the papers to request only an extension. I will not stay here illegally - not out to hurt our case in any way - I will do what I am having to do - this will give me a little time to take care of issues at home with my family and maybe get some things started for my fight against this system. I know my hsuband will not be fa

Esalaamu Aleikum Rahmat Allah dearest Aicha!

I pray this finds you in the highest form of faith, understanding and sisterhood. I can only imagine what you are going throu dearest sister.

I myself, have jumped the hurdles of bureaucratic BS and red tape in my husband's country. And I myself, still waiting for Algerian residency...thanks to John Walsh and the new CO here. I keep thinking if I could have only filed last year, when several others had filed DCF and gotten approvals within a month. And I hit my head against the wall, cos I know the conidtion of my dh (if we were in the US) would be solved by now. He would be walking...getting meds that he needs.

But no... Allah destined us for us something else. WHat I cannot say... but I do say BarakuAllah fik my sister. I sa your petition and signed. I comend your efforts and pray Allah ease your suffering and trails.

I do wonder sister, since I see you are filing k3 you are legally married... how can the Morrocan goverment deny you residency? ALgeria is not Morroco, true, but I do not understand how a country can deny residency when it based on marriage? Enchallah I will try to look into and enchallah maybe find you some light in the tunnel. INNA LILLAHI WA INNA ILAHI RAJI'UN Be strong my sister and remember Allah only gives what He can take away. You are in my duúa!

Shukran bezaf for all of your comments - they really meant a lot! My faith has always been my stronghold in life and i can only do my best to try and seek and understand god's plans for me and my husband - and I will do my best to do what he is asking of our life in this struggle. I am so sorry for your struggles also and I can see that your faith is also very high with Allah and that is wonderful - you too keep fighting for what you know he wants from you. What is wrong with your husband, if I may ask? I will say lots of prayers for you also - I feel I am always praying now and Allah must have an open ear with my name on it.

I only understand how corrupt things are here - I have seen so much and anytime you give these people money - they will jump though hoops for what you want. the police here are shocked by what this man did to us and we will continue to fight the powers that be, but until then we need to follow the laws. you also will continue to be in my duùa!

Thank you for your comment

wow , aicha, this is really terrible news for you! i always thought you could just stay there as well if you married him! that is really strange they denied you like that. i know you don't want to spend the money, but maybe a bus ride to algeria would do the trick? i can't imagine that would be terribly expensive? i don't know the border rules between the two countries, but i would look into it rather than leave your husband! what about a ferry to spain? i wish you luck

Thanks - we will do what we need to do - I still really feel inside there is reason for us to go through this - maybe it is because I am one to start fighting this system - I am not sure yet. But they will not keep us away from each other for long - if I have to just come back here and do this all over again - I will. Right now we are still absorbing I guess you could say and the tears are still flowing - we have a little time to make decisions and we will take time to do that - we are not going to rush into rash decisions that could hurt us. I also do not think I would be too hot on going to Algeria right now - I am sure it is beautiful and it would be a quick in and out, but it is bad enough dealing with the terrorist activity here - do not need to add Algeria on to it - it is worse there.

It is not strange if you know Kenitra - the police here are more corrupt then in other cities - the man is angry because we would not give him money and we brought in people more important them him to get him to finish our papers - he took two and a half months just to process them and it should not have taken that long. I know people who have got them in just a few days because they gave them money. I am tired of having to pay people off to get things done and it is not right - I want things done legal - I want nothing to come back and haunt us for my husband's VISA. Thanks for your wishes!

There is something so wrong in this world when people like this are just allowed to continue living - where was any of this woman's family - if they all knew about her problems - how can they just sit back and do nothing - I just do not understand people like this.

My sister hit her son in the face one time when he was maybe three or four - I came down so hard on her for that and she never did it again - she also thanked me for stopping her from being like our parents. All people need to stand up and stop these things - it takes one person to write a story, but it takes us all to change these things.

This poor, innocent child will never have a normal life because somewhere his family also neglected his life - not just the horrible woman who gave him birth.

Aicha sorry you now have more problems maybe someday all this will be brought to the right persons attention that can start the improvement of things. Maybe since your papers were sent wrong your representative can request some special reviewing for you.

Thank you - the Senator is getting them to express mail my CR1 to the NVC, but the NVC will only agree to expedite the process - they said it was the mistake of the CSC not the NVC, so they do not have to show us special services. I do not know how long expediting will take, but I pray it will go quickly. But then again, if the Morocco CO does not decide to re-open, it will only continue to be delayed.

I just know we have done everything by the book and I am tired of these people hurting all of us and it is time for it to stop - I will stand on my convictions and I will make sure this is heard somehow, somewhere - with or without help. I have God on my side - he will give me the strength to fight this.

Aicha I am just so sorry for what you and your family are going through with the immigration ordeal. Obviously you have sacrificed a great deal and your husband is very lucky to have someone like you in his corner. All I can say is that if you truly believe that all of your sacrifices are worth it, then continue to soldier on. I sincerely hope everything works out for you and your family.

P.S. Can you keep getting your tourist visa renewed to stay with your husband?

Thank you for your comments - I have tried and the man at the Foreigner's office said No - and I know all they want is money because things are so corrupt here, but I just can not continue to pour out money to these people. We will do what we have to do, but anyone who knows Kenitra, in particular, will know what I am talking about. I could leave and come back, but financially we can not keep doing that either.

Salaam Aicha,

It's good to see your resilience and determination for justice and equality in the immigration process. I commend you for your inner strength and wholeheartedly agree that we, as those who have petitioned successfully or also as those who have had unfair denials for legitimate family relationships and/or known anyone faced with the heartache of a denial, need to join collectively as a community to help bring about positive change in Immigration Policy. If we take a more proactive role at the grassroots level especially, I think that our voices will be heard. My heart goes out to you for what you have had to endure, and I am well aware of the emotional anguish we go through about an unsure future with our husbands or fiances. Even though my journey has just begun, I have been reading about what you, Kiya, Limah, brionkiegurl, and others have been through, and when I see others stand up for their rights, I am inspired to perservere. We are all Sisters in this struggle and should join hands to help one another.

Regarding your temporary visitor visa in Morocco, when I was in Fes, they told me the same thing at the Police station about being able to stay for a longer period, if needed. I am not sure but I think you can just leave the country in June (might be more economical to just go to Algeria or another neighboring country by land), and then re-enter to start another 4 month visitor period. I think another option would be to apply for the Permament Residence permit at a Moroccan consulate aborad while you are outside the country. Maybe someone else could shed light on this.

Allah Muk,

iysha

Salaam Iysha,

Thank you so much for your words - they meant the world to me - you have no idea! I will continue to stay strong in all of this, but I will never give up on this fight to free all of us from this unjust process we all endure.

I wish I had the money to keep leaving and re-entering the country, but I do not and I will not continue to take money away for our future to justify what these people are doing to us. Incha Allah - God will open the doors I am to go through and he will show me purpose to all of this nightmare - if the purpose is for me to start making a stand for all who need this - then that is what I am going to do - it is obviously long overdue to be done.

We did file for the residence permit - this is what they gave me - I can sit here and continue to fight with them, but it would be more productive for me to fight for my husband's VISA. Thank you again so much and you are right - we are all sisters in this process and together all of our voices can and will be heard.

I do not know how to feel anymore - I thought I would be okay through all of this - even when we kept getting screwed by all of the processes and how they handled our case. First our denial on our K3 and then finding out the reasons were just so out of context and then finding out that our CR1 petition was approved January 31 and should have been in process at the NVC, but my Senator finds out that the CSC erroneously sent it to storage instead of to the NVC!

Some of you know my situation - so I am not going to cover it again - my question is has anyone else had the experience of a lost petition at a service center after it has been approved???

Our K3 was denied, so our Senator was trying to get our CR1 pushed though on an expedited situation - there was an approval notice sent to our lawyer and so the lawyer's office thought the CR1 petiton was at the NVC by now. The problem is that the USCIS and the NVC both have no idea where our petition is - what another joke in the process of how the immigration system works!!

So now our petition is in investigation mode to find where it is! Are there any other experiences in this situation??

our paper file including all the documents we submitted with the I-130 were sent to the california service center to do the background check for the Adam Walsh Act around the first of feb. the background was noted in the computer file as complete on april 2nd. the problem is that the consulate has been requesting the paper file be returned from the CA service center since then. basically the consulate is treating it as a lost file and we had to re-submit all the original documents along with new I-130 and ds-230. i've called my senators and both have gotten no response from CA service center. according to the senator's liasons, you are lucky if you get a response in 90 days.

I am so sorry for what you are also going through! Luckily on our end the Senator has gotten response and she is not very nice about it - the post before your post has her stated message to me after she found out what they did with our file - I can not believe they actually sent it to the storage unit!!!

any idea who your senator contacted to find out about your file being sent for storage?

Sorry - I do not know the exact person she spoke with - I only know it was at the CSC.

Let's add to the insult - here is the next message I received from the Senator - you will love this one!!

"I just discovered that the CSC erroneously sent the file to the National Records Center (NRC) for storage. CSC has agreed to get the file back from St. Louis and express mail it to the NVC. This explains the delay. I should hear more from the CSC shortly and have asked them to confirm the shipment date so that I can alert the NVC for the arrival. Thanks again for your patience, and I will be in touch."

Anyone say immigration reform - do I cry or get angry - wow, what a choice!!

After everything you have been through, I cannot believe what I am reading. It kills me to think this can happen at any stage of this process, to anyone...let alone someone who is dealing with the return process.

What happens if they cannot find it? If they tell you to file it again, I would be having my senator contact the USCIS for expedited processing. This is just ridiculous.

I hope another member chimes in who this may have happened to before.

~Kiyah~

Thank you for your comments Kiyah - I was going ot post this on the other board, but was having problems getting logged in - I think the site was having a few bugs. Anyways, will post it later.

But you are right - talk about sending my emotions into another stream of feeling everything and anything. I really appreciate your continued support and words - it helps to know that people care because the government sure does not care about any of us or the things we go through - if it is the last thing I do - I am going to get this known to the world and get this immigration act reformed once and for all.

For those that this process goes smoothly - I am so very happy for you - I can not even begin to tell you that I would never wish this on anyone, not even my worst enemy's!!! And my heart and soul goes out to those who are fighting for their rights to love and marry the person of their choice!!!

Good Luck and all of our prayers for your interview and a wonderful life!

Good luck to you - I wish for you speed and all the best in your petition!! I believe you will be a May filer - correct me if I am wrong, but it depends on your receipt date as to what month you are categorized in - yes?.

I thought this was great - you did a real good job here and this will be so beneficial to so many people out there!!

Make sure that people know though that some of these things are not exact to every CO - for instance at Morocco CO - you will not pay in addition for the fingerprinting and medical exams are done a few weeks in advance of the scheduled interview also.

But this is a great guideline for anyone to follow for upcoming interviews!

I thought this was kind of fitting - maybe, maybe not, but just a passing thought in the stream of debating choices and the shoulds and should nots.

A lot of good points here - I have an age difference too, but as far as I am concerned it has never been an issue in our relationship. My husband may be youner than me, but his intelligence is amazing! I understand the conversations and the taboo of such things because we have faced a few ourselves, but we also, feel that age is just a number. This is a personal choice for each individual for their own life, however, in our world all things we do and choose will always be debated - some will like it and some will not - regretfully, that is just the way it is. We only need to make the choice to pass it off and live around it - if I let it bother me or others bother me about it, then I only make myself unhappy! And I for one, am very happy with my choice and no one would ever take that away from me and my husband. No matter what the issue is in this world - there will always be things out there that people want to debate - we just have to learn to be confident in ourselves and the things we are debating - we will never win every argument, but at least we are comfortable with ourself and our opinion - that I can live and sleep with!

This post is going to be simple and to the point and I will not mention any lawyer names here because I do not need to be held for liable.

Most of you have read my other posts and are aware taht I have an attorney problem - let me go into this a little more in detail. The reason I am doing this is because I had someone else approach me for help and this person had been calling attorney's that specialize in immigration cases, obviously for the same reason I did - we did not want there to be any mistakes in our cases.

This attorney is based out of California - I hired there firm because they had over 17 years of experience in immigration and the first time I called and talked to someone - the person I spoke with was very nice and gave me a lot of information. But after I hired them and paid out the 1800 dollars plus filing fees - I began to see something totally different. I was assigned a paralegal and she was the one I worked for from that time forward. There were little issues arising here and there, but nothing that seemed to concern me too much at the time - I voiced to them my issues with the things they did and it would stop, at least it would stop on the surface, but behind the scenes it was continuing, I just had not realized it yet because I was very caught up in all of this process and trying to still live out life, being separated from my husband and then being separated from my kids and then issues wiht my parents - my mind was not 100 percent on watching my attorney, but then I did not think I needed to.

I am going to put a long story short here - 1) I had paperwork that was supposed to be filed and then delayed by three months because the lawyer's office did not think it was necessary to inform me they still needed one thing. 2) I was not informed of something in our I-864 financial package until 6 months later and it was something that needed fixed - they told me two weeks before our interview, by then it was too late - thank God Casablanca does not need the financial packages anymore. 3) I was not prepped for our interview at all - in our case - we were told not to worry about anything, it would only be a few simple questions and to only answer the questions, but no details and also to not worry about proof because our proof was we lived together. 4) The attorney himself never once spoke to us, only the paralegal and she was not good at that as far as follow through. 5) When we were denied - the office only contacted the CO one time and then told me that it was up to me to get a Senator involved and tehn if the Senator wanted they would present case law on our behalf. 6) I was then also told that I should not speak with the attorney himself unless I had a problem - wow, I thought I did! 7) We were told to divorce and marry in another country, that we would never get a VISA through Casablanca. 8) I was told to never expect responses from their office unless 24 hours had passed. 9) I am now being told they do not know where my I-130 is and it will take the USCIS 30 days to respond to them on it.

Next the woman who contacted me for help - she called this attorney and the attorney actually asked her flat out - "Are you fat?" - "Are you older tahn your inteneded?" "How tall are you?" and he also told her that she should not marry in Casablanca, Morocco because she would never get a VISA through them, she should marry in another country and her and her fiance should figure it out.

I will continue on this post as questions and comments come in on it.

SORRY - I HIT tHE WRONG BUTTON AGAIN, SO HAD TO CONTINUE MY POST IN HERE!

whats the point? is your case DENIED?

Morocco has alot of petitons being returned. honestly, those questions are no worse than what the Embassy & USICS can ask hince the strokes interview.

Yes my case was denied, but that is okay - we are working it out just fine - we still have a little way to go, but now that we are working with a Senator things are better and they are working on expediting our CR1 since it was still in the process phase.

The woman who talked to me was just very offended - I guess there are just more proper ways for attorneys to ask things to a potential client. IMO

And our ex attorney even managed to lose our CR1 - did not know where it was or how t oeven find it - that says a lot.

One more thing - I agree tremendously, if you can find a good attorney, please use one - I am now working wiht the Senator's legal department and feel much better. I have nothing against lawyers - I have known a few over time and known a few bad ones too. Holmes and Lolly is just not one of those good ones.

FINAL FANTASY X, FINAL FANTASY X-2, FINAL FANTASY XII, DRAGON WARRIOR VIII, BREATH OF FIRE IV

OMG!!! You got me pumped. I want to play more.

When back in the states - I love the final fantasy games - my son got me hooked. Although he is now into the Socom and a few other online games.
