Seems straightforward enough. Hopefully all goes well when the time comes.

Yep, I would think would be okay. I just wanted to get an idea of what documentation she would need to prove ties to return. She doesn't speak English so wanted to make the process easier for her when her interview time would come.

She is married and has 2 kids. No intent to marry someone here. Just wants to visit.

She is married with 2 children. Just wants to visit, has no intent to stay here.

I just wasn’t sure what all they look for in an interview for that type of visa. If there’s any specific documents we would need to send with her to show she would be supported during her stay. Return ticket, etc. Never done a tourist visa so not 100% sure of all the fine details.

Thanks everyone! If she’s just coming to visit and not really tourism, is there any other type she would need to apply for or is the tourist visa the best option? Is there anywhere online that we can take a look at to see what supporting documents we would need to send with her? To show the Embassy that she would be staying with us during her visit ? Thanks!

My husband and I would like to bring his sister over to visit and spend time with us. We plan to have a family soon within the next year and she would like to be there for the birth of any children we may have. My husband is a LPR (conditional) and I’m a U.S. citizen. I see she would be eligible for a tourist visa, but who would need to sponsor her? Would it be myself or my husband, or us together? How long are the visas typically good for ? She has a job and her own children in Morocco. So her ties to the country are strong, and she would return.

Passport was delivered today!

I went when my husband had his appointment, but I was not allowed past security. It took about 5-10 minutes total for everything.

Once you receive your WAC # in the mail, you will be able to track the status of itonline, make sure you sign up for text and email alerts on your petition. You will want to create a account on the USCIS website as you will use it a lot over your visa journey.

Just an update, received an email in French this morning saying: MADAME/MONSIEUR BONJOUR LE PASSEPORT EST DISPONIBLE, POUR LE RETIRER, VEUILLEZ VOUS PRESENTER AU SERVICE DES PASSEPORTS MUNI DU RECU DE LA DEMANDE ET DE VOTRE ANCIEN PASSEPORT and the money orders were cashed. So hopefully it won’t take long now until it gets delivered here to our house. Like I stated above, I put an overnight express mail envelope in the package, so should be good to go. 🤞🏻

Sounds good, I’ll keep updated here once we see some movement.

That’s not too bad, we did over night delivery and it just showed delivered to their mailbox. I didn’t opt for a signature so hopefully it made it to the right spot. I have the serial numbers for the money orders so I can keep an eye on them for when they get cashed. I was hoping that the consulate would have had an online portal or a tracking system so you can see where the passport is in real time but I haven’t seen anything online where you can see updates.

We mailed the documents and they show they were delivered at the beginning of last week. I did overnight delivery and it shows delivered to their mailbox. Do you remember how long it took for them to cash the money orders you sent? Ours still hasn’t been cashed yet so just curious what their time frame is for that portion of the process.

Thank you! 🙂🙂

Thanks, I’ll do that. Seems like the easiest option. We got his green card and national ID card copied today and notarized. Looking at the application now that we send in and it asks for his name in Latin beside the Arabic name, is there a way to put that in Latin or do we just put it in English ? It also asks for consulate ID number, he doesn’t have that. We can just leave that blank?

Hello, My husbands Moroccan passport will expire in September. He is a green card holder. We would like to renew his passport by mail since we are not located near NY. I contacted the consulate and they sent me the following things that he will need: -The original Moroccan passport (this original passport will be sent back to you with the new passport). -2 pictures (American passport pictures size) -A Certified Copy of your (carte nationale) has to be valid (otherwise your presence at our office will is mandatory for the fingerings in order to issue the ID card -Fees are a money order of 85.63 payable to the Moroccan Consulate of Morocco in New York -A money order of 6.97$ fees for the registration at the Consulate (payable to the Moroccan Consulate). you can also pay cash if you come in person to our office in New York, *please send us separate -Money orders* -Fill out the Attached form (fiche individuelle) -A proof of your address or any billing under your name - A certified copy of your American ID or a copy of your Green Card - A prepaid envelope for the return NB: the passport takes up to 6 weeks to be issued in Morocco or more, but as soon as your new passport is issued in Morocco, you will receive an automatic message in French language to pick up your new passport, after few days we send it to you via the envelope you have included with your application (sent to us) A prepaid certified envelope for the return. In case you choose to process your document via mail please send a document with your contact info and the designated service: first/last name, phone number, address email, concerned department. The questions I have are they mention a certified copy of his carte nationale. Can this just be a regular copy done on the copy machine or do we need to take his card somewhere and have a special copy done? He has a new Carte nationale that he got in Morocco in March. How much postage is needed for the return envelope? I was thinking to do one with tracking, but will the tracking number still be good if it takes 6 weeks or more to renew? The last part states to include a document with contact info. Is this just a piece of paper with his information on it or is it something different needed? Any advice is appreciated.

My husband got his card in the mail today!

Didn’t get a text from USCIS but the status on the online account portal is now listed as “card produced.”

I hope so! Congrats again to you both! we are still on “case approved”, hopefully it will update here soon!

Yes, we filed together last year as well since he came at the end of 2021. Thanks, I think his first trip he’s thinking 1-2 months at most.

Thank you!

Hey thanks. No, I was just wondering how much time he is allowed to spend visiting family in one shot. We have work and bills here in the US together. I was just wanting to know if it was all truly needed over a course of 3 years to show those things. I appreciate the info. Thanks, this is helpful.

My husband received his AOS approval notice today. Once his card comes in, is there a certain period of time that you are allowed to travel ? We plan to travel back to his home county for 1-2 months, will he only need his green card and passport? Is 1-2 months allowed ? Is there any specific documents that should be kept from now until his ROC? For example does USCIS really need 3 years of water/sewer bills, or can you just pick a few to show joint financial needs? We have quite a few things together but I’m curious if every document from beginning is truly needed.

Woke up today and checked and husbands case is also approved. No interview. Original filing date 11/18/2021. Now to just wait on the card!
