    What are you doing with your "old" citizenship?

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    Here is my two cents. In Morocco you can not give up your citizenship. There is no such thing. And the Moroccan government accepts dual citizenship, as long as it is not invoked in Moroccan soil. You are Moroccan and so are your kids, even if they did not ask for the citizenship. The good thing is there is no military mandatory service, and the relationship with the US is good.

    However, while in Morocco the US embassy states " The right of a dual national Moroccan-American arrested in Morocco to seek US consular assistance under international treaty is secondary to the Moroccan government's right to treat the arrested person solely as one of its own citizens." which means the Moroccan government will treat you as Moroccan, and the US has no business interfering.

    When I get the US passport I will use it to enter the US, and all the other countries that ask for a visa for Moroccans. The Moroccan passport will be used for places where it is dangerous to show the blue passport.

    I really do not have a choice giving up my old citizenship. It is not like I am gonna go to the Moroccan consulate , and till the Moroccan ambassador "tell his Majesty government, I am not a subject to your laws anymore. S...your monarchy system"

    How long to get Moroccan passport in Morocco?

    in Middle East and North Africa

    It won't take that long, especially if they know he needs it to get to the States. My last passport there took me 10 days to get it, and then when I wanted to extended I just went to the Passport office in the a3mala Governor office and got it within the hour...

    But then again it depends on the city that your fiancee is from. How many application they process and so forth. Passports in Morocco are issued by the ministry of Interior on the local level.

    Good luck

    I was about to say sorry about the split, but once I got to the Champagne part I was not sure if it is the appropriate thing to do.

    1- you do not need to file anything with the USCIS. for a valid reason, divorce may take up to a year to finalize...If you guys get the divorce decree and then you got called for an interview, you can then clarify the situation with them. Most likely you will get your GC before getting divorce.

    2- in that scenario again you do not need to do anything

    The only thing that will change now is the period you need to wait before applying for citizenship. if you stay married it is 2 years and 9 months after your first GC. if you are divorced it will be 4 years and 9 months.

    Good luck.

    P.s I can not help with the Champagne as I do not drink

    help.. im confused.. and worried..

    If you enter the US after your second marriage anniversary, you will receive a 10 year Green Card.

    If you sit foot in the US even one week before the 2 years marriage anniversary, you will be subject to the 2 years conditional Green card. And therefore the removing of condition I 751 process.

    Talk with your husband, it is better to wait couple of weeks before entering the US. This was you will save money and energy.

    Good luck :thumbs:
