Well you know for a fact it’s lost or they just can’t find it? Go back to the agency and have them look for it. Should’ve emphasized you need the old passport back when you applied for new one. 

Yeah we did. And we have went back several times.

I'm sorry to hear that, frustrating. Have you tried contacting the local consulate there to see what they recommend? Always worth a shot.

 

I think making a new appointment makes sense. If they ask what happened to the currently valid visa, she can just explain.

Yes I sent an email to the consulate and am waiting on there response. 😊

I'm hoping they can replace the visa.

I needed help on one trip  flying Air France and Delta.  I requested wheel chair assistance and they take you to each gate, fast and efficient.  they will also board you first.   Your mom should do fine.  You can call the airline before her trip and request this help.   When she gets off the first plane someone will be waiting just outside the airplane door to transfer her.

Thank you. We're very excited to have her here for the first time. I just wanna make sure she'll won't have a terrible flight.

All airlines will offer a wheelchair to the elderly passengers, if you would request the service for your mom the. Someone will go to her seat on the aircraft and take her on a wheelchair and show her the next flight gate or they will wait with her until they get her to her next flight seat onboard if the transit time is not too long.

 

wish your mom will have a great and safe travel

Thank you ❤️

Just read your post again and noticed that she can't read, so don't forget to add a few pictures/pictograms for her to be able to understand also. 

 

They sell books, but you would be able to personalize better/just for the trip.

Yeah she unfortunately can't read. But the main thing I'm concerned about is making her connection in Paris. So hopefully the wheelchair request will fix that problem.

If your mother doesn't speak French, or English, you can also translate and print out a few sentences for her (destination, flight details, I need a translator/water/etc.), with your contact details in reference, should they need to reach out to you.  Safe travels.

 

I've had to request assistance services from Air France before and they were great.  It will certainly save her more than a few steps in CDG.

 

Great idea, thx.

Will definitely do 😊.

Technically it is not the airlines job but in Paris there are two options that come to mind:

https://www.airfrance.us/US/en/common/guidevoyageur/aeroport/service_personnalise_aeroport.htm 

or request wheelchair service for her - then they will get her from plane A to B.

Thx for the reply.

I was thinking requesting a wheelchair from delta or air France wasn't a bad idea. I hope they're reliable and actually show up 🙂

Not sure if this is the correct section for this question, so I apologize if it's not. 

I'm just wanting to hear from fellow Moroccans who have brought thier parents to visit. My mom applied for a tourist visa and was approved but I'm very concerned about her traveling alone for the first time specially making a connection flight in Paris to Ohio. As many of you have experienced, The airport can be very confusing for someone who has never been outta the county before. And who can't read. 

I was wondering if the airline ( Delta) would assist in the transit and have someone pick her up when she lands in Paris and walk her to her gate for the connecting flight. 

Hello everybody. 

I'm hoping to here from poeple who got a visa from Morocco. 

My mother got approved for a 1p years tourist visa back in 2019. Her passport is expiring and she was wondering if the visa gets transfered to the new passport or will she have to keep the old one and travel with both passports. 

Thx for the response guys.. One more question, I read some people state they have been issued visas with multiple entries. Is there some visas with multiple and some with only one entry? And how do you know which one you've been issued. 

Hello. 

My mom's tourist visa was approved yesterday. She was told it will take a week to get her passport with the visa back. 

I understand the tourist visa could be valid anywhere from 6 months to 10 years, my question is if she gets a 10 years visa would she be able to wait until next year to travel? Or is there a date she will have to travel by?

Update – Approved!

Congrats.. My mom's was approved as well 😊

Visa approved 😉😆.

This is not a thing, and could hurt rather than help their case.  By law, tourist visas are adjudicated based on the applicant's risk of trying to immigrate.  The letter draws attention to their ties in the US.  They need to show ties in Peru.

LOL.. The ds160 clearly asks if you have any relatives in USA.. So they already know unless u lie...

Actually, we just checked, and yes, his father has a similar name as a fugitive terrorist.

Makes sense.. So probably more checks required and hopefully they will get the visas approved 😊.. Let us know if you hear back from the consulate.

INA 214(b) is the most common reason - by very far - for refusal of a tourist visa. This coves immigrant intent.

INA 221(g) covers a visa application that does not conform to requirements...essentially they are unable to make a decision on eligibility for the visa yet. This covers things like background checks, review of documents, waiting for documents to be submitted, etc.

Yeah that makes more sense... Hopefully they will hear back from the consulate with good news.

The consulate is under no obligation to provide details of a refusal other than a section number. As it was 221g, I would assume that they are in fact still assessing the case and parents might yet get call to submit passports for visa. I wonder if there is some kind of communication misunderstanding between what the parents were told and what they understood/passed on to their child in US. 

Is that letter they gave them the same letter they give to everyone they deny?

It is very confusing. We already emailed the consulate, so hopefully we get a response that will clear up this confusion. A letter written by my husband was included that said they would be staying with him in our home and he would be responsible for them, including financial responsibility. And yes, what they endured seemed more of an interrogation. They separated them from the start, so it couldn't have been a discrepancy in their application. And yes, I agree, they should have been provided with some kind of information about the decision. 

I think most of these decisions get made before the interview even happens... They approve or deny people based on the info on the ds160... I don't think you or your husband could of done anything to help.. It's really sad. 

My mother will be in the same situation here soon. Hopefully she will have better luck.

If you met these two people, they are the least suspicious of any people I have ever know. Simple people from the countryside who only want to visit their grandchildren. Ugh.

Were you put on their application as the person paying for the trip? And you are their daughter-in-law, correct? 

1 minute ago, bent0110 said:

Exactly. If more documents were required, why would they not indicate which on the form? And every document listed was presented at time of interview. Except for the DS-5535.

I think that's a generic form they use for different reasons and just select the document they need depending on the visa type... In this case they didn't select anything which is very confusing.. You should email the consulate and ask for more information.. They usually reply within 48 hours... 

What kind of financial support letter you included? I'm just writing a letter stating my mother is gonna be staying at my house. 

I doubt your letter was the reason they weren't granted the visa... And the interview separately seems more of an investigation... Maybe they hit nervous and said something opposite of what on the application? 

Either way, they should of were provided with more details about the decision.

When is your mother's interview? His parents are Moroccan and live in Morocco. When they arrived, they were told to get new photos. Which was strange because they had new photos they physically brought with them. They also digitally attached photos to their petition. They left, got new photos and returned to Consulate. Once inside, they handed over their paperwork, which included the letter of support. I'm not sure what was reviewed. Then, they were separated and interviewed individually. Then, they were brought back together and interviewed together and asked the same questions. Then they were told to wait for the Chief. Then a clerk came out and handed them this form. That's all I know.

That's strange.. No reason was selected. It seems like it wasn't a final decision and more required documents have to be submitted but they didn't select which documents.. They should contact the embassy for clarification.

My husband submitted petition for tourist visa for his parents and today they were rejected and handed a form. It was the 221g form and it was left blank with no indication of what, if any, paperwork they would need to submit. We did include a financial support letter., which they brought with them to their interview. Are you saying had we not submitted that letter of support, they might have been approved? 

I'm not sure yet. My mother hasn't had her interview yet.. 

Which country were they coming from? And did the CO ask to see any documents? 

And from my understanding. They would of had a better chance nit traveling together.

Hello! I would like your advices for my case.
I am  a peruvian citizen and will get married in U.S with a K1 visa. I plan to get married  next april and want that my parents accompany me on my wedding date, they will  not stay  longer than a week.

 

Their situations is the following:

 

• They have never traveled abroad to any country
• They are  between  48 to 55 years old
• They are both teachers and will continue working for 5 years more aprox.
• They work for peruvian national schools and have done it for more than 25 years.
• They don't speak english and I would be paying their tickets and stay.
• I will help them to fill their visa application and on it I plan to mention that their reason to visit boston is for my wedding.

 

I would like to know if they could have any problem getting the visa and If I should get some supporting documents. 

 

You should write a wedding invitation letter and have them take it to the interview... It's not a deciding factor but it's nice to have in case they were asked for it... Good luck

Medical treatment is a valid purpose of a B-2. Tourism is by far the more common usage.

I understand that.. I just wanted to make sure to pick the correct visa option on the ds160. As you can see in the screenshot there is 3 options to pick from.
