Adil & Jeanne

Depends on income and how number of people in your family

your income should not be low enough since it had to be 125% of poverty level to qualify for visa

you need to be added to spouse policy or buy obama care thru private carrier

But she is your wife and you will be adding her to your iRS tax returns

the penality will be small as she was not here even a month / there is a chart for this

A k1 would be denied definitely

we have (I think) the biggest age diffence on here more than 30 years

but we went thru K1 denied

CR1 spoouse denied

5 trips to his country

spending almost a year there

and our 3rd CR1 was approved

I jumped thru hoops to do this adding him to IRS tax returns, bank account using his ITIN from IRS and adding him with quick claim deed to my house (which is scary when the person is not in the US)

they will find out they have to do multilple visits and more than likely marry

the prrofs i did were normal for AOS not visa

In morocco they give all documents back to the beneficary after the interview but i would tell spouse to get another copy to bring to US just in case

we have 4 and 4 original birth certificates

Process is

1. go to US embassy in Casablanca and get paper of eligibility marry and pay $60

2. Get this and all your documents translated into Arabic (6 copies)

3. take documents to Office of Foreign minister and get paper from there

4. go to his home city and there will be interviews with police and judge to apply for marriage license

Documents you need:

1. Birth certificate

2. and divorce papers or death notice of former spouse

3. criminal investigation report (state internet site will tell you where to get yours) usually good for only 90 days

4. income statements from employer or IRS transcripts

5. passport

6, 2 x 2 passport photos (cheaper to get done in Morocco)

7. if muslim document from Imam to say this

423 260 0096 cell and whatsapp if you have any questions

Jeanne

you have to file CR1 spouse for husband / it turns to IR1 if married over 2 years

the entire process will take at least a year / normal time is a year

Service center may take 5 months as you said but can be longer and then the NVC stage if you get the documents to them fast takes at least 3 but they need 2 criminal reports from Morocco husband, affiavit of support, application for visa, both fees paid (before doing the affidavit and application), tax returns transcripts from IRS for last 3 years, and any other documents they are short on

after alll this is turned into NVC take (as they say) 30 to 60 days to process and then when approved, goes to embassy

interview will be scheduled by NVC when packet is sent

plan on a year at the least

prepare him well for interview making him aware of everything about your life and family

prepare him by telling him to be confident and serious in interview / no smiling as they have told people "you smile, you lie"

confidence and patience is what he needs

do not argue or fight in this time / encourage each other / try to just speak of good times, love and the future / never take your frustration with this long and heartbreaking process out on each other

incha allah

you will suceed

We are a little bit different as green card was issued on CR1 and processed after his arrival but we got it 30 days from his POE in Chicago

shouldn't take too long for you / give it 30 to 60 days before you call

Unforunately getting free bed and/or food even for volunteer work is considered compenstation /same as getting paid

when i volunteered with handicapped in Morocco i paid my own costs, flight, room and board (food) therefore i had no issues / i did all this legally thru the Morocco country site

you will probably be asked about this at interview and have to be honest

you may be lucky and never be asked by CO as your country (i believe) is not considered high fraud

find out if they issued a ban and the very best of luck

Think this is high what till you get to US

now, let me vent

applicant pays for application, processing fee for affadivit, visa application and cost of visa if granted, plus trips to meet you

i had to apply 3 times and took 6 years and USCIS said i came back right after marriage so i had to go back for honeymoon even thought the marriage trip was 2 months

5 trips, (one lossy lawyer for 2nd application) and all the fees 3 times plus his flight to come to US

try just over $35000

thanks for letting me vent

BTW all this i can show

Casa will not let you in to interview but they ask when financee visited last

it is always good to be there for emotional support and there is a cafe across the street to wait in

make sure he does his medical exam about 2 weeks before interview as travel time and visa is based on that

he will have to travel within 6 months of medical

photos:

send 25 of marriage celebration

25 of travel in morocco consider for honeymoon time

label month and year and people

important to have photos of not only you and him but you with his family

in your letter for application write a good explanation of how you met and time spent with him

there are many of us who went thru casa emabassy interviews

so, plenty of help here

Polygamy and bigamy are illegal in the US, but as the Utah "sister wives" show, it goes on anyway. Essentially they mean the same thing - someone has more than one spouse. More often than not, it's when a man has more than one wife. In some states, the law uses the terms interchangeably. There are some legal differences, though:

this article goes on to say the cast of the show may end up in court over this

it is not wrong to say refile

i appealed my NOID and i won it

court said marriage was bona fide and to refile

the appeal process took over a year and the refile took 2 more

please do not tell Morocco citizens what to do

the embassy is not like yours

we won the refile

so, anyone wanting to wait for NOIR or NOID waste time

you can refile and when the information comes as to why denied, you have a year to make it right for the new intreview

if you have not been thru casa embassy, you don't know what we go thru

SSNs are also used to file federal income tax returns. If you need to file a federal income tax return, but have not yet obtained a SSN, you can apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). For more information on ITINs,

this allows spouse to add you to IRS returns in the spring / spouse will fill out a W 7 / it can only be applied for at this time

information is on this site

https://tingenwilliams.com/2015/can-i-get-a-social-security-number-with-a-fiance-visa/2403

and at IRS site

No longer using K3

K1 is for financee only

Cr1 is for anyone married less than 2 years

the wait time after application is sent in is at least a year for the interview / many have gone longer to get one'

you have to wait as we all did / our journey started with K1 application in July 2009 and ended with visa approval in June 2015

it is hard when spouse is from high fraud country

you are going to have to prove your marriage is bona fide and you love this woman

They can reject for any reason

they can say the spouse's family would not approve of relationship because of age or religion differences

they can say the beneficary is not knowledgeable about the applicant

not enough correspondence between the 2

it is totally up to the CO

but it is high fraud countries that get most of the problems

or their systems were down

when my husband was approved he had to return a week later as even the computers were down day of interview

To clarify the reason CR 1 criminal background checks not done on petitioner for immigration is

we did one to provide to be married in their country

so, the background checks have already been done prior to marriage and immigration knows this

CO may ask if family approves of marriage at the interview / prepare for this expecially if you are not in photos with them

also, all he has to do is say oath to IMAM but he will need document to say he is muslim

Is he in the same country as your parents?

If so, i suggest he goes to your father and gift to your mother and asks for this permission to marry (taking paper of conversion with him)

He needs to convince them he is honest and not visa shopping and using their daughter

incha allah all will be ok

If friend is also Nigerian, you already know how to answer this

A K1 would probably be deinied especially when it is noted the friend tried tourist and was denied

it would be better to go straight to the marriage and CR 1 / be prepared to front load the application with plenty of evidence

and in the US sometimes when you transfer from state to state you have to start with learner's permit after passing the written test and take a new driving test

each state is different

most states in the US would have allowed you to drive on the Morocco licence for a month up to a year but you would have had to apply still for the licence in your state

this is no big deal

what till you start applying for jobs needing all your info / for instance in the US former military personal have to keep all their records and pass them to spouse after death for benefits

a lot of paperwork but this is the US

Actually apply to the college you want to attend and if accepted pay the fee they require to hold your place in school

colleges here use an immigration lawyer to help with the student visa

Since medical care is so expensive here, i asked my husband to be for a medical exam before i promised to marry as TB is very widespread in Morocco

not strange to ask but may be a personal female issue and embarrassing in that culture

tell her a medical is required and you need to make sure she can pass and in the US women keep nothing back / and you feel it is important for her to accept our culture as you will have to know and accept hers

compromise

hope this helps

i had to do 3 applications and have kept originals of all

this is the way i was taught and yes, you can print out from USB or CD but if they ever ask for originals from the foreign country, how long does it take to get them and can a relative get the original or would you have to apply for something in person?

i still have IRS tax returns from when i worked my way thru college (for example)
