*Moroccan documents have an expiration date. Don’t risk AP and just get new ones with new translations. 

*Morocco prefers Transcript over W2 with Tax Return. 

Affidavits have little to no significance in your case specifically for Morocco. As recommended above, focus on stronger relationship evidence such as time spent together and commingling finances. 
 

Moroccan Visa Journey

The Service Centers are assigned randomly. Your location or filing method has no bearing. They assign according to each service center’s case capacity. Online filing is most convenient since you get a receipt right away. Paper filing is most convenient if you’re wanting to stack your evidence and overwhelm the consiste by front loading. This can also be done electronically you’ll just have to reduce the file size.

According to NVC there working on cases submitted in July but that can also vary. Recently I've seen cases DQ'd in days.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

After DQ it's taking about 1.5 month to get an interview for CR1/IR1 in Morocco and about 2-3 months for K1.

Second interviews for K1 visa in Morocco are not common. It's good that they are asking for a second interview instead of continuing in AP and letting your application expire. Typically 2nd interviews are to address red flags. What was his interview like? Which area did they focus most on? That will typically tell what they're questioning on the 2nd interview.

There's no right or wrong with going color or black and white. I would want the CO to have a clear picture in my evidence. Therefore I would choose color pictures. The background paper or ink doesn't matter. 

Assuming you have your DS-160 confirmation, there's nothing to do but wait for the Consulate to contact you for an interview. There's no scheduling online, that's outdated information.

Morocco is not holding K-1 interviews at this time. Many have been waiting for about a year for an interview.

Once K-1 interviews resume, then you'll need your appointment letter to schedule your medical. Medical appointments are also behind so you'll most likely have the interview first, get placed in AP, then medical but things are always changing.

The updates you see on your account are typical. That means someone viewed or worked on your file. The downside is that it changes nothing. The updates let you know your file is not forgotten. AP has no timeframe so there's no telling when your case will be processed. I would recommend to submit a Congressional Inquiry if you've been waiting for 3 months or more, though one can be done at any time. There's nothing to do but wait for the Consulate to make a decision or give further instructions. Calling and emailing will go without answer.

Has NVC asked for a joint sponsor at this stage?

i believe others have been asked to produce one when interview is done in Casa

i can be wrong about this / just read a post about it (past post) when i googled "Does Casablanca embassy accept a joint sponsor?"

 

Definitely add the Joint Sponsor at this point. With Casa, you don't want to leave anything out for review at the interview. You don't want to give them any opportunity to place you in AP. Casa does accept joint sponsors however it's frowned upon and combined with other red flags can cause AP. 

On the AOS section of the NVC portal.

Agree with this except for the numbers. This is very different for every country how long it takes to get an interview and has less to do with the visa category.

It's posted in the Morocco portal. I'm assuming he's inquiring about the process in Morocco. He asked about CR1 & K1 visa categories. 

No one will advise you to claim false information to any government entity.

If you earned money and got paid cash you do need to claim that money as income to the IRS. Any cash income you claim you will pay taxes on that money. Casa doesn't like to see that deductions lower your tax responsibility. 

If you're claiming earnings without earning it for immigration purposes, then that's lying to two Federal agencies. 

Like someone mentioned before, it's under the "bona fide marriage" tab. You definitely want to front load at USCIS stage. At NVC stage you can upload on the "other" tab. 

Your question is not quite clear.

The USCIS and NVC stage appear to be moving faster than usual. However the consulate is still closed therefore you'll get stuck at the interview stage. In addition, the consulate will have to catch up on backed up interviews once they open. It was taking about 5 weeks for CR1 to get an interview before and 3 months for K1. There's no telling how long it'll be once they reopen. 

Go ahead and file. Government offices, including USCIS, is still conducting business as usual. It's only closed for person-to-person contact.

For everyone asking, it's best to contact the embassy directly. Emergency evacuation flights are arranged by the embassy. You must email them to inform them that you're interested. If any flight go out they'll notify you via email. The flight that left this weekend, was at cost of about $750 USD to London, stay a night in London, and you arrange your flight from London to the U.S. A close friend flew this weekend and spent about $1,700 on the flights home for one person.

The applicant is always the sponsor and will complete I-864. 

The sister will be the Joint Sponsor and complete an I-864 if she lives outside the applicants home. If the Joint Sponsor is married and files Joint with her spouse, her spouse will complete I-864a.

Sponsor:

I-864

Tax Return and W-2 or Tax Transcript for most recent tax year.
