  1. I had blood work done. I don't think they care about STDs at all. They are pretty common anyway. I had the idea they wanted to see if I was pregnant. I'm not sure why that was important either, except it's against Islam to be pregnant before marriage.
  2. I will! A friend of my husband (also Moroccan) wanted to leave the country and has an expired passport AND expired national identity card. He went to the moroccan consulate and they told him it would be 45 days to process the passport.
  3. Yes, I saw that site too that said about applying in person in New York. There are a lot of sites that have information about the embassy/consulate but they don't look like the official site. I think the link you sent is the official one. We will contact the embassy to find out the next steps. But I noticed if you just want to message them you have to start a sort of inquiry and provide all of your personal information. I didn't see anything that just outlined the procedure. We will check with them and I'll update you all. Thanks! I don't think it's up to the airline either. It most likely would be a direct flight though.
  4. Hi everyone, I did a search on the VJ site before posting but all the posts I found were pretty old. My husband has a green card but his Moroccan passport has expired. Would he be allowed to travel from the US to Morocco to renew it there? Thanks so much!
  5. Hi! I've been trying to find the website for the Moroccan consulate in NY and I keep finding suspicious looking websites. Do you have the link for the actual consulate? Thanks so much!
  6. Yeah Atlanta would be! He got his SS# after a couple of weeks but still waiting on GC. My husband says it usually takes a few months. Was that your experience? We found a small market not to far away that has halal meat but I found out that it's something that's difficult to inquire about since it involves basically asking people if they eat halal meat which is kind of a private thing. It's a big issue, if a person who is Muslim lands in an area where halal meat is not readily available. Having to drive for hours and then cut and freeze large quantities of meat adds an extra level of work to the whole cooking process. I got rid of my microwave so defrosting meat safely is another issue. Basically, you have to think of what you want to eat tomorrow and put it in the refrigerator at night in order for it to be ready to cook that next day. I might have to reconsider my stance on microwaves!
  7. Thanks, Jeanne! Yes but we were specifically looking for a Moroccan butcher that we heard about. Just to have that Moroccan touch
  8. Hey does anyone know of a Moroccan butcher near Washington DC? Thanks!
  9. Wow that's great! That's also encouraging. My husband mentioned WES. I had never heard of it LOL We'll try both ways, WES and GED and see which gets him further. Thanks for sharing your experience!
  10. Yes Morocco has the French school system levels: middle school is collège, high school is lycée, which is why it's confusing for them that we called university "college" LOL I did call someone at the GED just in case we can't get equivalency with his transcripts and they confirmed that my husband can take the GED even though he graduated from high school in Morocco. Thanks again for the info! I didn't realize that GED is accepted globally: The GED® program is the only higher secondary certificate available in over 85 countries and accepted by nearly all universities in the U.S. and many across the world.
  11. Thank you JeanneAdil! This is encouraging! So your husband was able to do the GED even though he completed high school in Morocco? It says on the requirements to do GED that you have to have not completed high school.
  12. Hey guys, has anyone's Moroccan spouse gone to college or university after arriving in the US with CR1? If so, what documents did the American university require for admission? We are wondering if my husband needs to dig up his high school transcript or if the transcript from his technical institute will suffice. I thought you could request all of this online in Morocco but that is not the case apparently 😕
  13. Wow that's crazy! I would prefer to go in person, but I hate saying goodbye again!
  14. The passport was ready pretty fast, like 5 days! Other people have waited longer I think. They gave him a two week window, so it might be best to plan for 2 weeks and be suprised!
