You were a very good example of your country? Not from my experience in your country. In fact, I'm sure anyone from Morocco who's trying to legitimately get a visa to the US is not very thrilled with you at all. I'm sure your government isn't too happy with you either. And you say you've never been in trouble- quite the contrary. You committed several felonies during your short year here in the States. You will gain no sympathy from individuals on this board for the consequences of your actions.
So, how's that record cold winter treating you over in Morocco? Bet you wish you had some heat, huh?

Hey Moz - yer so bad - I wanna make you cook 11 sets of mutton tarjin for penance.
You should ask the USCitizen Petitioner, yer spouse, to call into NVC and confirm that the DS-230 has been added to the casefile.
Then have yer USCitizen Petitioner, yer spouse, to ask the NVC TeleOperator IF the case will be set up for scheduling for the February Scheduling Session.
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah... Mutton Rocks !

Thank you Puskbrk
People who try to create some sort of hope for a person attempting to avoid the requirements are NOT doing them a service and I wish they would cease and desist such nonsense. It is virtually impossible to get the waiver on religious requirements for one simple reason. You are saying you cannot meet in person before marriage, yet you are applying for a visa to DO JUST THAT!
Any person forbidden from seeing the other in person would best be served religiously by getting married in their home country and filing a CR-1
These are silly excuses. Spring break is coming, get a babysitter and go to Pakistan. Sheeesh.
The only such waivers I have ever seen are for medical harship and only after the foreign beneficiary was denied for tourist visas to the US.
I suggest people stop giving false hopes to others because of some obscure boiler plate language in the law which exists mainly to respect some obscure religion that may exist.

The senior members here are aware of this apparent loophole in the regulations but we are also aware that such waivers are almost never granted. There is no strict and long-established custom in Pakistan where the bride and groom are actually prohibited from meeting prior to the wedding day. Such customs are extremely rare and obscure. In cases where they DO exist the couple has to do a lot more than present a few "convincing reasons" for not meeting. They must ACTUALLY establish that any and all other aspects of the traditional arrangements have been or will be met in accordance with the custom or practice they claim applies to them.
Travel to Pakistan is not an issue. To take the hardship route, the couple must demonstrate that they've made every effort to meet in any country to which they both could reasonably arrange travel. (The UAE is good example.)
None of the above applies to this couple. My advice is that the go ahead and presume their petition will be denied and either make the necessary arrangements to meet in person before filing again, or face the fact that without meeting, they will not be together in the USA.

I think I told you in another thread how serious that NOIR was when your mother in law received it. It was not a "request for more proofs"- it was your VERY LAST CHANCE to prove your relationship. Whatever you sent them, it was not enough to convince them, and now you're done. There is nearly a ZERO chance of you coming to live in America. I hope your wife has settled well there in Morocco, because if you want to live with her, it's bocadios and lemonada from now on. Sorry, bro.

This is 100% wishful thinking.

You've hardly given any info. Don't give them western union receipts. Casablanca is a very difficult consulate to get a visa from. You sound very casual about it. The answer to your question- yes, age difference is a problem, and you may get refused for it. You have to prove your relationship is strong, despite the age difference. Also, your written English isn't very strong- how do you and your wife communicate? You've been corresponding with an American woman for over 4 years, and your written English hasn't improved at all? That's a red flag, right there.

Poverty and joblessness are widespread here too, genius. At least it's cheaper to be poor in Morocco. I did live in Morocco. Not all Americans are obsessed with owning big cars and big houses. Ask me, and I'll tell you, I'd rather be poor and happy living by my means than poor and miserable and in constant debt.

Countless threads on VJ have been dedicated to this subject. It's not a new problem. Do some back reading. As for the government making it cheaper and easier, don't count on it. It's as expensive as it needs to be to support USCIS and the DOS, and it's as difficult as it needs to be to weed out fraud. Does it suck? Yeah, it sucks, but immigration is a privilege, not a right.
If my husband had been denied, I'd be chillin in Morocco right now. I wish I was chillin in Morocco right now. The climate sucks here, politically, financially, and weather wise. le sigh.

Morocco sits beside Nigeria as one of the most difficult consulates in the world to get a K1 visa from. Even once you've met in person, you're going to have a hard way to go with only one in person visit under your belts, and the CO is going to want to know where you're going to live in America. You say you're both still studying- are you going to just come here and move in with her parents and have them support you? These are the kinds of questions a consular officer will have.
Have her come to Morocco to visit you before you worry about the rest, though. You have a long road ahead of you.
Good luck

To have been born an English Citizen you would need to be 305 years old, at least.

Moroccan citizens, as a rule, don't get US tourist visas. The only one's I've heard of is for older people- usually the parents of Moroccans already living in the US.

Speaking from experience as one who petitioned while pregnant, I'd recommend you wait until your spouse is in the US to get pregnant. Anything can happen during a pregnancy, and even a normal pregnancy is miserable to go through alone. It may seem to you now that you can handle it with him being several thousand miles away, but once those hormones start coursing through you, feelings change. Don't overwhelm yourself needlessly. Good luck.

Again no matter how stressful and difficult, the guarantee of even HAVING a child with him is much more important to me. If I had to choose between raising a baby without the father or never raising a baby from the love of my life because he passed away too soon, I would choose the first option. I have never been a fan of "wait until you are "financially stable"." I just do not believe in living life that way, always waiting for the ideal moment, the right time. IDEALLY my true love and soul mate would live at least in the same country as me. IDEALLY we would have the baby in the same country and raise him/her together. IDEALLY we would have enough money to support ourselves in modest luxury. LIFE IS NOT IDEAL. People forget that babies have been born for sooooo many years without all of this extra cost injected into the process. There is more than enough money coming from me and the loved ones around me to ensure this baby will have a good life. I've seen my own mom raise me as a single parent and our money troubles did nothing but make us stronger and appreciative of life. I am sorry but money is not going to dictate when my future husband and I have our baby. We are not THAT poor and destitute that we couldn't even manage to pay for the bare necessities and having more is not a REQUIREMENT for a happy life.

Just be careful driving in Vermont. Crazy Ukrainian women on the roads up there.
With guns !!!

OMG i thought driving to the airport was the easy part... now im worried im gonna die in a car accident

It's no problem. I wouldn't be offended, because you don't know me. I agree with you about that mall. As my husband would say, it's built for "rich Fesi people" lol. The nice places in America are very nice, that's true. What sucks about all the nice houses you see is knowing that the people who live in them are in so much debt, they'll never get out and most are one paycheck away from being homeless. It's an entirely different way of thinking in America when compared to Morocco, and most Moroccans who've never been here have no clue how hard it is to live here. I'd rather be poor in Morocco than poor in America. At least Moroccans don't know any better.

Read the guides on this website, if you have to ask such basic questions, you're not doing your homework.

We did get two and no I did not open the sealed one. I told my husband that the incomplete date would end up with an RFE. Hence the reason I am going back to have it fixed. Glad I noticed it before we sent it in. Hopefully the office won't give me too many troubles in filling it out manually. Never had an issue years ago when I went through USCIS on another case.
Dillegence is required every step of the way!

Whoa. It's the Islamic version of Bevets.

I picture this guy as a gunless Moroccan rent a cop with a chest length beard and a kufi on his head.

I think we ought to learn to be nice to someone asking a question. I think a simple no would do, don't have to be so sarcastic even if you think it's a dumb question.
