  1. I believe you. I remember hearing about the doctors there. My husband said they took an enormous amount of blood during his medical. It was strange.
  2. My husband is 19 years younger than I am. We did the K1. He was a school teacher in Morocco for four years. I am also a teacher and I have two kids from a previous relationship. He has a couple of Bachelors Degrees from Morocco. His English was pretty good. At the time I sponsored him, we had known each other 2 years and I visited Morocco twice - once at Spring break, and once for a few months in the summer. His parents did not approve of us, which is why when we tried to get married in Morocco, it didn't work, as his dad took the family book. The consulate did ask about this. He told them the truth. I have never met his family. We only had some pictures of the two of us. It took about a year to get his visa. He had no problems at the interview - you could tell they already approved him while they were asking him questions. He has now been here for 11 years and has his US Citizenship.
  3. She is the one interviewed, not you, so she should not volunteer information. She should just answer the questions they ask. Make sure you and your fiance discuss all types of things ahead of time, like whether you will have children, whether they will be raised Muslim, whether you will get married in a mosque, what will she do in the US , will she work or study? Know each other well, because they will ask her things like what do you do for work, and things about you to see how well she knows you. If you are both on the same page about what you understand about each other and she answers honestly, coming across sincerely is the best thing. https://www-consulat-ma.translate.goog/fr/casier-judiciare-pour-les-etrangers?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc https://www-consulat-ma.translate.goog/fr/retrait-de-la-fiche-anthropometrique?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
  4. Also be clear about any community service or restitution or counseling or anything that shows that you did good on rectifying your mistake.
  5. If you still are concerned about it and you aren’t able to get anything (when I called the police department and clerk’s office, they told me my case was sealed and there was nothing they could provide to me), then I would think it would be sufficient to just explain what you tried to do to get the record, get a signature if you can, and just send that off. Then at least you know that you did your best and they are aware and you now have it attached to your case. Can’t believe a lawyer would charge that exorbitant amount to basically do the same thing.
  6. When I called Immigration and explained the issue of first time arrest for slapping my partner on the head that my file was permanently closed according to a law in my state that applies to this particular situation and I had no record, then not sure why they aren’t trained to tell you they can’t answer that. In fact, they specifically told me that I didn’t need to report this on my application and my petition went through without any problem. Would be curious what Immigration told him when he called. I was an adult and actually arrested, booked, and required to admit guilt.
  7. Here is US Immigration's phone number: 1 (800) 375-5283. They were very helpful in answering my question concerning a very similar issue.
  8. Again, there should be a number to call immigration and ask them directly to tell you whether you even need to do that or not. That is what I did. That could save you time and money.
  9. "I don't know why you are so defensive. My comment wasn't directed at you in particular. " You basically replied to the post within an hour or so of my post, so I got that notification thinking you were replying to me. If you weren't responding to me, I am sorry.
  10. Beloved dingo: That’s why I told them to call immigration. They can ask them directly because papers were already sent in and no one is saying “immigration won’t care and so they shouldn’t worry about it and wait to see. Repeat: I told them to call immigration, did you read that part? And based on what happened to me where I actually got arrested and didn’t provide that info, that took me to the conclusion that they didn’t even care I had that arrest and didn’t put it on my application. Read everything in context of what I was saying instead of picking apart my sentences and misinterpreting what I meant. No need for you to reply to this comment.
  11. You should call the Immigration contact number. I honestly don’t think they care about that offense and you will be fine. I called them because I was arrested for slapping my children’s dad on the head and he called the police and I admitted it because I am a way more honest person than he is. My case is not available to anyone because of a first time offense and I didn’t have to put it on the form to sponsor my now husband. Just for context, I was in the hospital for five days and no one in my family would take care of my children. I was forced to have him do it and he took the opportunity to move into my house and because of the law in Michigan once someone moved in, you can’t get him out and I previously had a restraining order against him for abusing me, so the slap was the accumulated frustration of me having to get through school to get a better job so I could move out of my own apartment away from an abusive partner again.
  12. But aren't the two brothers in the F4 category which has the date 22MAR07?
  13. I hope so too. How long did it take for your mom to get here?
  14. Can you share a link as to where we can see timelines for family visas?
  15. Can you show me where you get the information for how long it would be? Is there some link you can share?
