  1. Camera is over a year old CBP is more worried about importing new and expensive and hiding countraband Liquids can be shipped if not combustible but they will be inspected even if sealed (watch some CBP Youtube videos) but the CBP site says it all CBP is the authority we all have to follow when entering US I always pick up a piece of jewelry and many street vendors don't give receipts or have machines for cards so it gets fun at customs
  2. You have met formally face to face so either K1 or CR1 is fully credible Also understand that now the K1 process takes as long as CR1 and K1 with AOS in US and further ROC is more expensive I opt for CR1 personally Are there any red flags that would concern the CO? Take a look at the site below and if any red flag issues are there, I would marry, do the CR1 , spend as much time together as possible to prove the relaitonship as bona fida marriage https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/red-flags-that-make-uscis-suspect-marriage-fraud.html
  3. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/know-before-you-visit/customs-duty-information#:~:text=Thus%2C any articles imported under,a flat 4% duty rate. you are limited to how much (in value) u can freight in (other than personal belongings over a year old) reason the stop at $850 is the value of the items import duty is charged on the overage US CBP protects also our merchants from people buying cheaper outside the US so they tax items over a set amount and some things (especially when not declared) are fined If your package has been mailed, the U.S. Postal Service will deliver it after it clears Customs. If you owe duty, the Postal Service will collect the duty along with a postal handling fee. If a freight service transports your package, they will notify you of its arrival and you must go to their office holding the shipment and complete the CBP entry procedure. If you owe duty or tax, you will need to pay it at that time in order to secure the release of the goods. You could also hire a customs customhouse broker to do this for you. However, be aware that customhouse brokers are private businesses and are not CBP employees, and they charge fees for their services
  4. 3 weeks but i sent my documents ahead and they were translated in Casablanca (the translator needed to see my ID to verify when i arrived ) u do need an appointment to Casa embassy ahead of the visit arrange your time wisely to go to the cities needed to Casablanca (embassy and translators), Rabat(Office of foreign minister) and the home town for police and judge interviews pay close attention to holidays as for Morocco EID is coming up and we have 2 big weekends (embassys are closed for US and Moroc holidays)
  5. Some countries have a different size paper Morocco is one of them so just surprised they allow Moroc to do I 130 online Also strange is this statement "USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of any signature on this petition." from https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf wonder why it can't be filled out typing on computer, printed out and signed and mailed in and some embassies allow copies of documents while others say -originals- i just wish all embassies followed same rules and guidelines
  6. new fee includes biometric what did u submit? Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) for adult applicants from $1,140 to $1,440, an amount that include the biometrics fee that was previously submitted separately.
  7. what is your country? and hers?
  8. i didn't cover comsumaaation as it was addressed but for morocco if they don't meet before a Utah zoom, it will face a denial we have to spend quality time together to get a CR1 visa we have to meet the family Family has to approve and its not quaranteed that they will just to get the Moroccan to the US Casa does not have to approve a spouse visa and often deny even if marriage is done in Morocco this person needs to go and meet and then apply / not just Utah zoom and then travel to meet her
  9. who had set her location to the United States. I used to do this myself as I’d get very little matches in the states but doesn't sound like he's in the states which maybe why sh'es still searching for the right USC
  10. seems your head is telling u to protect your heart We Americans say "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck , its a duck" she's talking to a lot of foreigners saying "interested in living in your country"; she's shopping for "just the right one" not to say she wouldn't be a good partner or wife, but u post some red flag issues
  11. USCIS gives directions don't make it hard for officers to disassemble to scan your documents to the computer system https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/tips-for-filing-forms-by-mail#:~:text=All forms and supporting documents,will be returned to yo Please do not submit evidence using digital media, photo albums, scrapbooks, or binders, which cannot be processed and will be returned to you.
  12. I found this not sure it works but u can try How can I fill an online application form where it is mandatory to give first and last name but I don't have any last name? (make sure the num lock is on) While Pressing Alt key, type 255. This will enter a blank in the column, which obviously wont be visible to you but it will fool the computer in thinking that the surname column has been filled. It has worked for me every single time, hope it helps you too.
  13. Visa is valid at date of entry so CBP will determine the length of stay as always https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/about-basics.html My visa will expire while I am in the United States. Is there a problem with that? No. If the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection Immigration Officer at the port-of-entry admitted you into the United States for a specific period of time, s/he will note your authorized period of stay on your admission stamp or paper Form I-94, called an Arrival/Departure Record. You will be able to remain in the United States during your authorized period of stay, even if your visa expires during the time you are in the United States. Since your admission stamp or paper Form I-94 documents your authorized stay and is the official record of your permission to be in the United States, it is very important to keep inside your passport.
  14. Islamabad Nonimmigrant Visa Type Appointment Wait Time Interview Required Students/Exchange Visitors (F, M, J) 18 Calendar Days Interview Required Petition-Based Temporary Workers (H, L, O, P, Q) Interview Required Crew and Transit (C, D, C1/D) Interview Required Visitors (B1/B2) 345 Calendar Days https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html
  15. yes, Utah is accepted for Morocco meet in person before u marry to prove the relationship , itself , is real meeting someone in Morocco on a trip is great and needed as the moroccan probably would not get a tourist visa to visit US and meeting in a 3rd country also good keep boarding passes of any and all trips to show proof u have met in person Marriage in Morocco has been done by many of us and it just takes time complicated? the steps are clearly laid out on the US embassy Casablanca site just follow them And yes, it takes a few weeks to go thru the process to marry in Morocco but its time spent together which is very important for the interview Costs? biggest costs is the translations / $10 a page back when i did it (2010) You need to know the red flag issues that concern a CO for interview in Casa 1. decision to marry within days of meeting online or in person 2. "Hurry to marry" reguest from the Moroccan or fast engagement before or after meeting 3. limited visits or time spent together / this is a big one 4. big age difference 5. education and work experience of the Moroccan 6. interviewer sometimes can be a Moroccan and they will follow Moroccan culture (which is very different than ours) 7. parents of the moroccan approve of the marriage especially the mother 8. dowry accepted and paid (again a culture issue) Since Casa embassy is already difficult for getting an approved visa, i have not seen any that have tried the Utah Zoom procedure
  16. Documents showing the cost of health care insurance in the state so CO knows petitioner can afford and absorb the financial responsibllity for this and immigrant will not need medicaid in the future If any big health issues like diabetes are present, search the cost of prescriptions to show petitioner can afford them In this case an affidavit may help from the petitioner showing intent to provide all the immigrants DL costs (room and board, etc)
  17. the site i pointed out says 35.5 months for CR1 (would be IR1 if takes that long) for Texas certainly hope the process is much faster for u 2 /3 years at USCIS would be riduculus
  18. after submitting civil documents to NVC , send originals to him in morocco to take to interview\ I used USPS overnight ( took about a week to go thru inspection in US and Morocco) but other carriers are very expensive Casa wants originals the only document that can be a copy is your photo ID that proves you have US residency (DL or state ID works best) Documents Required for the Visa Interview Birth certificate and English translation Police certificate (fiche anthropometrique) and English translation Court record (casier judiciare) and English translation Original marriage certificate plus a copy and English translation if applicable Original divorce certificate plus a copy and English translation if applicable (any former marriage) Death certificate and English translation if applicable ( any former marriage) Medical record from one of our panel physicians 2 photos (5cm x 5cm) white background. I-864 Affidavit of Support form (with petitioner’s original signature) along with a copy of the petitioner’s most recent tax return Please note that the petitioner must fill out the I-864 form and copy of W2's and/or any 1099 even if he or she thinks that their income does not meet the Poverty Income Guidelines if using joint sponsor I 864 needed with their W2's and proof of US residency The beneficiary of the CR1 petition must also fill out the DS-260. Confirmation page of DS-260 submission. Police records from foreign countries lived at for one (1) year or more. petitioner's US proof of residency
  19. then why nonresident alien spouse in 2023? timeline and more info would help
  20. He was not in the US until 2024 as u say husband was nonresident alien spouse at end of december 2023 How did he get a K1 for fiancee if u were married in 2023 outside the US?' U can not file MSJ unless married in 2023 and if u were married u should have done spouse visa
  21. my 9/15/2011 stamp says Admitted NEW and i flew into JFK
  22. You will easily be able to prove meeting, eligibilty to marry and consent forms needed to pass the USCIS stage of this process the interview will be other issue CO will look at totality of circumstances (your income needed to support the immigrant, your ability to buy health care insurance for immigrant, your ability to afford the over $2000 needed to adjust his status once in the USA) all this is very important and need guidance at the interview stage /definetly a joint sponsor but understand a joint sponsor is only responsible to the government if immigrant becomes a public charge/ u still need to show u can support this person for the year+/- it takes before he can work in the US https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-g-chapter-4#:~:text=Evaluating whether an applicant is,Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Evaluating whether an applicant is likely at any time to become a public charge based on the totality of the applicant’s circumstances[6] means evaluating all the information provided on the Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I-485), Report of Immigration Medical Examination and Vaccination Record (Form I-693), any other forms and evidence contained in the record, and statements by an applicant during an interview, if applicable. USCIS considers all information or evidence in the record that is relevant in the totality of the circumstances.[7] For all applicants subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility,[8] the officer will consider the statutory minimum factors: age;[9] health;[10] family status;[11] assets, resources, and financial status;[12] and education and skills.[13] The officer will favorably consider a sufficient Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA (Form I-864) (when required).[14] The officer will also consider any current or past receipt (or both) of public cash assistance for income maintenance or long-term institutionalization at government expense by the applicant.[15] However, relatively few applicants will be both subject to the public charge ground of inadmissibility and eligible for public benefits prior to adjustment of status.[16] the very best to the 2 of you and your young love
