I don't know if this help our case or not but I contacted my senator and had her on board. I know that they looked into our case and keep me up to date. There is a lot of fraud throughout Morocco and other countries. If anything I felt like this let the Moroccan CO know I was serious about this man. My husband and I, fiance at the time, found practice question and studied up on those as well. We knew each other well but felt like we wanted to know each other inside and out! We didn't want to fall victim to a game. How many times have you visited? Have you met his family? Do you have pictures of yourself with him and his family? Pictures of you and him doing activities together? They also asked my husband about my home state and the area. Then CO actually responded to my husband that my husband would be surprised how many men come in and have no idea where they were going (in the US). I set my husband up with a little packet: pictures from each visit, some conversations, letters, phone log, etc. The CO only looked at photos but at least he had it if they wanted it.

I feel like there is a point where you can be TOO prepared and there is a point where you are not prepared enough! Good luck and keep asking questions!

They requested to see his card - otherwise we do have it memorized.

When we do business that requires a SSN, we never pull out cards. We have the number memorized and write them in on the form or tell them verbally. We don't even carry the cards in our wallets. He shouldn't have a need to see the card.

Thank you for your reponses, we will get to our SS office this week and see if we can get that removed.

Thanks again

I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong forumtopic but we are currently in the process of removing my husband's conditionalstatus in his green card.

Yesterday my husband and I went to purchase another vehicle.While going through financing a company told our finance guy that they wouldnot give us a loan because my husband's SS card is stamped with "for work only…"and went on to explain that it was not a "full" SS number/card. My husband hasbeen in the US for nearly 3 years, when can this be removed from his card? Anyoneelse have experience with this or more information?

Thank you!

Your wife having a new job does not seem like a legitimatereason to not help with your case. You should not be doing it all. If there isa will, on her part, there is a way. She CAN help. I, in fact, did most of thework for my husband’s case or we did it together. I wouldn't have trusted himto do it all by himself! When workingwith the consulate they want to see exacts, but not memorization. Morocco is arough consulate. I also had chat logs but I only submitted a few pages fromeach month that we chatted along with a few pictures. Like another poster said,you have a lot of red flags but anything is possible. First and foremost youmust get your wife active in your case. Good luck and contnue to ask questions, there are many indivduals with VJ with outstanding information and experience.

I hope that you will receive good news soon. This journeyis a difficult one! Have you thought about contacting your staterepresentative? I did this during our journey, although not everyone does. Icontacted two but only one responded, they contacted the consulate and inquiredabout my case, etc. and I received updates from them. In the meantime I would continueto try and contact them - not sure what is the best way but I know I emailedonce and received a response a few days later. Good luck! Keep your head upthis is only the beginning to a longer journey.

For my pictures, I chose about 4 pictures from each event and printed them on a piece of plain white paper. I then stated who was in each picture and what was happening. I also made sure the date was printed on the picture. Please know there is no right or wrong way to do it! Another time I actually sent a 4'6' photo album with various photos. It is really at your discretion and what you feel is right and you are comfortable with.

My husband and I are going to be divorcing - he wants to leave right away but I need to know what needs to be done before he leaves. We have not acquired much as a married couple so I believe we can file for an annulment. Any suggestions?<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 253); "><br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 12.800000190734863px; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 253); ">Thanks

You can look many of the forms up online and he can start to fill them out now. I did that with my fiance before he actually received his packet. Also, your fiance needs to complete his medical exam before he goes... has he done this?

For Morocco, packet 3 has all the forms he need to fill out and take with him to his interview, instructions about the medical, (all of which we can get online), but most importantly, it contains his appointment letter, stating the date of his interview. In Morocco, the Consulate schedules the interview and then sends out the packet with the appointment letter. The only reason I even know when his appointment is, is because I called DOS.

(I guess it is actually like packet 3 & 4 together.)

It only took my husband a few days, if that, but he live in a very small village and never lived anywhere else - so it was quicker than if you have lived other places.

Hang tight, I believe they all do that!! Confused me too.

They denied your visa. What they returned to you was sensitive personal financial information of your sponsor. What they kept will be sent with the original petition back to USCIS. It has no bearing on your case. You went to an interview and you weren't prepared. At Casablanca, that gets you denied. Work hard to prepare for the next interview, and perhaps you may be successful.

I don't think this is completely true... I think someone can be completely prepared for the interview but the embassy has already made up their minds about an approval or denial.

Why would someone want to marry someone younger than them? This is a question that only the person being asked would know how to answer appropriately. It might be a different answer from anyone you ask.

a friend of mine from poland his fiance is older than him by 10 years so what is a good answear for this questions "why do you want to marry your fiance while she is older than u?" share us by your experiences and your answeares thank you for advance

I have never heard anything like this!!!

i heard that it is not allowed to travel with your fiancee in the same plane and same day is this true ?

All my husband needed was his birth certificate, in fact would get a couple copies to have on hand... when I checked into translations here - they are quite expensive, compared to the prices in Morocco.

My husband is just about as white as I am!! He checks Caucasian!

You definetly need to know why you were denied... and work from there. Getting married in Morocco is not a guarantee to an approval, it really it just a matter of what you want.

Those can help a lot!

I totally understand what you are saying and my husband and I are dealing with the same sort of things... working on differences and understanding each other completely is a challenge. I hope you can think back to the good times and the reason that you wanted him in your life to begin with. Give it to God and he will show you the way, the way HE wants things. <3

I would not make arrangements until you have the visa in hand! Even if you are approved it can take weeks or months to get your visa! Everyone's case is different... my husband got his visa within a week after his interview, but others have been approved and were still placed in AP and waited months.

You just have to arrive in America before your K1 Visa expires. Your 90 days (to get married) starts the day you actually step foot in America... so your time has not started yet. ) You will be fine!

When it is asking for my family name do they mean my maiden name or married name? This is for lifting conditions on a husbands residency.

I just wanted to update mine. )

Name: Teresa

Where you're from: Kansas City, Missouri

SO's name: Bijad

Where are they from in Morocco: a small village outside of Chefchaouen, Morocco

Anything else you want to add: Bijad has been in the USA since February 2010 and we were married on May 9th, 2010!! Having him here is the best thing in the world, not to say it's always perfect! )

How many times did you visit?: I visited Bijad twice before his interview. I would love to go back to visit sometime soon.

Would I want to live there?: Not sure... it's a wonderful place to visit. It's calm, relaxing, intriguing, etc but I really enjoy my American life. Maybe when I am old and can't keep up anymore. HeHe.

Are you working in Morocco or why the move? That's great.

Hey! Don't want to give too many details on here since I'm starting to get nervous. But I've been here in Morocco for 4+ years, met my fiance about a year ago, and cannot wait to start a life with him.

Ok, so that must be the DS 160 form? Did you completely fill out the form for your MIL? My MIL would not be able to read it or complete any of it. Also my MIL only speaks Arabic, do you think that would be a problem?

all tourist visa apps are now only done online

Let me be a little stupid and ask, how do you submit the application for them?

My in laws and 16 year old brother in law all got 10 year visas in 2 weeks. We didn't send anything, just submitted the application for them. You do have to pay the fee in advance at the bank. Good luck! I can't wait to show everyone around in June when they come over

It will be so different, obviously. My husband has been here for a little over a year and is sooo home sick. He misses his mother and father so much. He wants to visit as soon as he can. He is getting along fine now but he had some adjustment issues with getting used to the American culture and society. Keep an open mind and you will do fine.
