Thanks Mithra We just tried to do our best. To the OP, we were actually denied 2 times. First time on the K1, and second on our CR1. I did see your PM, and will get back to you in more detail later today, but in the meantime, I have links to all our interviews here....

Being proactive in Morocco is a great way to go. Sometimes no matter what you do, they still deny because they have a feeling there is fraud (which happened in our case). Persistence and patience are key. Good luck

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/291886-the-hoping-not-to-be-denied-at-casablanca-thread/page__st__735 The last page of this thread has the reasons why they denied us, just so you can see...those were straight from the CO...You guys getting married 5 months after meeting will make your entire case suspect, as we got engaged just as quickly, and that was a big deal. We got married a year later.

I did fast for 3 days straight to see what it was like. He didn't expect me to do it, but said he was so proud I tried. How have your spouses dealt with highly physical jobs in a very hot place?? I work in a kitchen with no AC, and it gets about 110 F in there, which is why I couldn't keep on. I'm always running back and forth and lifting. I was worried about passing out at work with no water. My husband says God always sees how hard people try, but don't let yourself pass out. Im not hardcore about it, but wondering for those that are. Thanks for the smiles!

It has been almost 3 months since my husband arrived, and wow, have we been through a lot! About 10 days after his arrival, my father almost passed away, and even though he survived, he is not the same person he was before (physically and mentally) I was so thankful to have the support from my husband during such a horrible time for my family. He has bonded so well with everyone, and we are so grateful for that.

It has been 2 months since receiving his GC, and STILL no work. He has had a few interviews, and has 2 more next week, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. We have had an interesting time getting ourselves situated into daily married life, and things are on the right track. With Ramadan here, he has taught me so much Moroccan cooking, and I have become a pro almost over night! He is a tad homesick during this time, but we are making our own traditions, and he seems to be quite happy spending his Ramadan with my son and I.

My son and him have totally hit it off. I am thanking God for that. We are currently staying with my parents, but are trying to get on our own, since living with my mom has made for some friction with my husband, as she doesn't understand how hard finding a job is right now, and doesn't understand exactly why he needs to fast all day. The language barrier is hard too, as she has misunderstood a few things he has said, and has taken it like English is his first language

Besides that though, our little family is doing well. We are looking forward to having our own home, and having a family. The adjusting hasn't been perfect, but I have to say I'm pretty surprised at how well he is taking the change. He always had pretty realistic views of change, and is open to anything new. The one big shock to him was how expensive everything is. Everything. NOW he understands why even though it seems like I make "good" money compared to over there, it is nothing in relation to the cost of living here. I am so thankful he finally sees that, as he never completely "got" it just by me telling him (which was totally frustrating at times). He has been quite helpful around the house, and have taught him how to mow the lawn. Teaching him how to drive has been quite a task. I think it would be easier if my car wasn't a stick

So nothing exciting, I just know that some people have been wanting to hear from me, and I felt bad I didn't have the time to come here...I've even cut way back on my FB time, as things have been so busy for us. Even after the long haul we had in getting him here, it really is nothing compared to the real life events we have dealt with (we had some other personal scares with health and such during his short time here). In the end, lying next to him in bed with his arm around me, or going grocery shopping together, or having him in my car is something we dreamed about for over 3 years, and now it's a reality. It is so easy to take something that small for granted, unless you know how hard you fought just to have those times together.

Was your petition revoked after you responded to a Notice of Intent to Revoke? No, you can not just file a new petition. The same outcome will happen.

Thanks guys. We ended up finding a bank that actually knows how to deal with perm. residents... Left the one who insisted we sign the wrong paperwork!

My bank insisted, (and I fought for over a week against it) that my husband needed to sign a W-8BEN IRS form before he could be added to my bank accounts. I noticed last week when he went to sign it, that the first thing it said was "do not use this form if you are a U.S Citizen, or an alien resident." The woman working with us was very new, and we went back and forth 4 times to the bank because she kept putting his info in the system wrong. I was about to just close my accounts, and change banks, but the manager fixed everything, but they still asked for him to sign this form. From my research, this is for people who don't have a SS number and are in the country as a student, etc...I am so confused, could anybody help me out here? He has all of his legal documents,is a permanent resident and he is very concerned that he signed something that may say he isn't a permanent resident. Any light shed on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

I also called the IRS directly to find out more about this form, and the man actually told me they don't know the specifics of the form, they could only tell me who shouldn't be filling it out

HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE PLEASE ,???

Took us 9 months to get a response from USCIS, and it was a Notice of Intent to Revoke. We were given 30 days from date of NOIR to respond. By the time it got to our house, we had 24 days to respond.

The consulate told my husband not to bring anything to this last interview, and all went well. He did bring a photo album though.

I pray for everyone that your adjustments with your new husbands and your children come together as well as one can hope for. When one comes as a package deal, so to speak, you pray that the man who receives that package treats it with much love and respect.

Absolutely, Staashi

Solid advice. I'm not aware of any female beneficiary ever being given a hard time in Casa, but for those USC women petitioning for male beneficiaries, we all say it time and time again here but really the best advice is to just know how much fraud the CO's see. Day in, day out. Try to see your case from the perspective of someone whose job puts them face-to-face with scammers and victims everyday, and keep that perspective in mind as you assemble evidence to rebut that presumption that your relationship is like all the others.

A woman in Morocco was in AP for 10 months...just got her visa recently.

Casa is generally easier on women.

My son is 7... Him and my husband had a pretty solid relationship over the years, but finally meeting in person....the look on his face at the airport said it all. Thank God I captured it on film. We are still wayyyy early in this adjustment phase, but so far, those 2 adore each other. My husband started caring for him before/after school a week after getting here. They have a routine. They ride bikes together and horse around. My husband went to the dentist with him this morning, as my son requested he be right next to him during his cleaning. We also had their end of the year class party today, and my son was so happy to introduce his stepdad to his classmates My husband has been very supportive, cheering him on at all his baseball games, helping him with his homework and such. I really couldn't have asked for a better relationship between them.

Call them...reaffirmation email was probably a mistake. Same thing happened to me when our k1 was denied...DOS even told me it was reaffirmed, only to find out a week later it was a mistake.

I find the men repulsive as well, but to expose your kids to that kind of life, and be ok with them following in your footsteps??? And the mouth on that 11 year old! I don't blame him for being angry with his mother. How are you supposed to get respect from your kids when you carry on like a teenager in heat?! Wow, I feel so dirty after watching that

This was disgusting to watch....as a mother, I was horrified at how they were acting with their children around

They are past the NOIR, it was revoked already. They need help with the appeals. Tell your sister to get a lawyer...and she should be the one on here researching everything she can on this consulate. Good luck

I say send it all...short and sweet. No one will really care about your future but you and your loved one. Do what you feel is right. We never used a lawyer because this was how we felt. Send it all, this is your chance. Good luck

I'll say it again....CONGRATS!!

and im working in security to suport my wife 7 month ago do you think that it not enaugh evidence and she been in hospital 2 time because of the stress and and pay for hospital do you think im not responsabl for my wife you are wrong im responsable

You two may very well have a legit relationship, and you may be taking care of her, no one is judging your love for your wife, what IS being said, is the way you handled your appeal was very poor. No matter how much you love your wife, it is how you present your case that will get your appeal overturned. I understand there wasn't money to hire an attorney, but it also seems you may not have sent in sufficient evidence to overturn a decision from a USCIS officer. You should be, as I will, be praying for a miracle for you two.

After reading all of the previous topics from the OP, I feel so sorry for the girlfriend who is going to supposedly meet him next month. Dude, I have seen some pretty desperate people come on here, but you take the cake

I know you don't want to hear this, but you have to wait. Either let your wife come back to the USA to get her medical care, or suck it up, and find a good doctor there. Your petition has been revoked. No other petition will be approved with a revoked petition in appeals. I am in no way trying to be a jerk, but you have to wait. Pushbrk is right, there is no visa in your near future. You will only be able to move on if you accept that. Since you are in for a wait, your top priority should be your wife's health. You both have some tough decisions to make. Also, how would be able to apply for an I129, but not a K3? That is the same thing because you are married.

I am also wondering....your wife could leave her child to stay with you, but she can't leave you to get better medical care? I feel bad for your situation, but you both need to start acting like adults, the whining will not get you anywhere. Accept your current situation, and make the best of it. Good luck

I'm so excited for you!!!

Thanks, me too

I know..riding the "t" is going to be so much fun. He always asks about trains..lol...must be a guy thing. I guess it's because he sees it on TV and in the movies but they don;t have them there. The thing we take for granted are the things that excite him the most about coming here. I was telling him this morning what you said about your hubby wanting lobster as his first meal..and of course he changed his mind and now he wants lobster as his first meal too...I'm thinking his first meal will be mcdonalds drive thru

As he is getting in later in the evening, and my whole family is coming to get him with me, I think I will make something easy, and when we get back from Boston, he can eat and relax. I took that next day off, so we are going to have a big cookout, and I'll cook him that disgusting lobster Just in case, there will be chicken I'm anxious to see the looks on the boys faces (my son and nephew) when Ouadia shows up at school with me to pick them up.

We have talked about moving back to Jordan at some point. Right now the US is the only option as I have 2 children who I would never dream of taking away from their Dad. As much as my ex was a terrible husband, he has always been a great father, my children idolize him. My new husband will buy a house or condo in Amman, and we will travel back and forth at least once a year, and maybe someday permanently. Jordan is pretty liberal overall , I would miss a few creature comforts from the US, but other than that I would love to live there. I live in NH so it's far from the hustle and bustle of the city, very quiet. He can't wait to see trees and mountains and lakes and the ocean and all the great things New England has to offer, Jordan is pretty much desert once you get outside of Amman. He is pretty easy going much like your husband, takes a lot to upset him, always smiling. Hopefully he stays that way once he gets here. After living with my 2 teenage kids we'll see how that goes

I can't WAIT to bring him up north....we went there every year almost my entire life growing up, and it is so beautiful. And we're only 45 min from Boston, can't wait to take him on the T into Boston. Oh, and of course the coast, which isn't too far from us either. I think we live in the best place in NH, so "close" to everything!

I added my husband before he even got to the country - I wanted the "married" status discount. In order to do that, I had to add him as a non-driver or non-resident family member.

I did the same thing. He is listed as Non residental, non driver spouse. I have Progressive. Ahn Map said it right. They will ask about ANYTHING, so be prepared. Good luck
