You might want to try contacting the Moroccan consulate in New York, they might be able to guide you on the next steps. I found a section on their website regarding divorce in Morocco, but I'm not sure if it only pertains to Moroccan citizens. http://www.moroccanconsulate.com/divorce.cfm

Thank you! I just sent an email to them explaining the situation. I appreciate your help!

Hello,

I was married in Morocco in 2004. I filed for divorce in 2014, and the divorce was final in 2015. My ex went back to Morocco and was ordered to sign a quit claim deed so that I could refinance our mortgage in my name (he had no job or income).

I am trying now to go through the courts to have this process done without him (he has not been compliant), and suddenly he is sending letters to the judge saying that I never showed up for divorce hearings in Morocco (that if existed, I never knew about).

Is there a) anything I can do to have the Moroccan courts recognize our divorce? No children, no Moroccan assets that I want anything to do with (as far as I know, all there would have been were the $13K in life savings we had amassed that I let him take with him, while I took all the debt, so that he would leave me alone)

b) Do I even need to worry about this- I'm never going back to Morocco, and because of him, would have a hard time even being friends with any man from Morocco, let alone getting married to one again.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated- thank you all!

Thank you!

So far, I have contacted my Senators. I have not had much luck with contacting the consulate, however my husband was able to get through to the doctor after threatening the receptionist to sue them. The doctor was very nice to my husband on the phone, and told him the consulate had called asking where the file was-

This is the same doctor he used when he went through the process. He thinks the real problem is the assistant and not the doctor- I don't know though. I'm pretty peaved about her making mom sick.

At this point, she swore she'd have the file sent yesterday by 5:50 pm and it would be at the consulate within a couple days.

We'll see............

Hello everyone,

My husband and I have been skating through the I-130 process for his mother, which has been smooth for the most part. She went to her medical 8 days prior to her interview (the paperwork says go one week before) and her interview went awesome until.............

They said that her medical paperwork hadn't been received, but that as soon as they have it, she can come back and get the visa put in her passport. So.... we called Dr. Khadija, and got her "customer service representative" (for the sake of being OVERLY polite) who first said they wait ten days to send everyone's paperwork (odd since the letter from the US gov't says u need only a week.)

Now, 12 days after her interview, we call the Dr. back again, get the same sweet receptionist, who tells us that she needs a copy of the prescription the doctor gave to our mother (which she managed to do on a second visit so that she could charge an extra fee "just how they do it") before she can send the file. We had our brother go today with the paperwork that she requested (by the way the prescription ended up making our mother violently ill- and was for an infection that she didn't actually have) and the receptionist acted like she "would see' whether or not they would send the papers tomorrow.

Has anyone else had the same problem with this doctor?? Does anyone know who to contact to file a complaint against her?

Appreciate the help- hope everyone is doing well!

When I was going through the process to get my husband here, USCIS sent our paperwork to be "filed away as a finished case" instead of forwarding it to the NVC.

The only way I found out what had happened, or got it taken care of was by contacting my legislators. I used their websites and contacted both my representatives. One of their assistants contacted the USCIS and NVC, found out where our case was, and got it rolling again.

It's surprising that they are that willing to help, but they are, they want your vote

Good luck!

My husband received his citizenship in 2009, and we are petitioning for a green card for his mother. We are not ready to petition for his father. His mother did not change her name when they were married, and still has her maiden name.

Will a marriage certificate for his parents be necessary since there is no name change to prove for her, and we do not intend to apply for his father right now, if ever?

I want to have everything available ahead of time to prepare our packets and be ready. We used James's shortcuts for my husband's visa, which went quite well, and plan to take the same route this time.

Your help is appreciated, everyone! It's been a longggggg time

Everything at the oath went great. We arrived around quarter to ten, and after going over the oath letter we were led into the court room to our seats one by one. Our family members were allowed to sit in the back area of the court room to take pictures or record the proceedings. Cell phones were NOT allowed in the building at all.

The ceremony started at a little after 11 AM and was over at 12. We were allowed to take pictures with the judge afterward. After that I went to the license branch, and social security office, then to the post office to send for my passport. Now I am officially a new US citizen :dance:

Bye bye USCIS!!!!! :pop:

Thank you everyone at Visa Journey for the support and tips- good luck to everyone still waiting for the interview or the oath!

Hello all,
This is me silvershadow212 for some reason I couldn't connect to the site because I forgot my password. So i had to register again.

Anyway, i had my N400 interview last Monday it was at 08:00 am. The IO was nice so I thought I'm going to have a great day. She asked me 6 questions which I answered all correctly, then she went through my application then she made me sign 2 photos and the bottom part of N400 application. She asked for Selective service proof which I handed it to her, then she asked me for my bill of complaint for my divorce. BTW, I applied based on 5 years of continous residency. I didn't know that I needed the bill of complaint I only brought my divorce decree. Then she asked for my ex wife previous divorce decree!!! and her birth certficate!!!! She said she couldn't find them in my file!!! She said maybe the officer who did our 1st interview back in 2000 forgot to make a copy of my ex wife previous divorce decree (she was married before). She gave me the white paper saying I passed the civic gvmt history test, but a decision cannot be made yet!! So now they're asking me to provide them with her birth certificate along with her previous divorce decree. I don't have any contacts with my ex wife I haven't seen her since 2004. Today, they just sent me a letter asking me to provide those 2 documents otherwise they will deny my applaication and I have until august 19th. I'm so frustrated right now as I got very depressed. I mean we provided all those documents when we first applied for my green card!! Why are they asking me for them if it was their fault and lost them. Can anybody help how can I get my ex wife divorce decree from her previous marriage?? also, how can I obtain her birth certificate?? I have no contacts with her anymore, I don't know her whereabouts!! Please help me.

Thanks,

The only way that you'll be able to get the birth certificate is to contact her and ask her for it, which is unfortunate, however- I believe you should be able to get her previous divorce decrees and your current one through the courthouse(s) where the divorces took place, since they should be public knowledge. You may need to know her last names from the previous marriages for them to be able to find the files. You will want them to certify them as official copies- which usually costs $1-$2 per copy.

Otherwise- I would say hire an attorney to help, they have more resources, and the USCIS takes them a little more seriously than individual filers. They would also know how to explain to the USCIS that these requests are not applicable since you are applying based on 5 years of residency alone, not 3 with a spouse.

I wish you good luck brother- I hope this helps.
