Consulate Review: Morocco
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : October 9, 2018
Embassy Review : He passed! Thats really all I care about and am happy about that. Praise God! But alright here goes a review to help you guys out:

Originally he was scheduled for August 23rd. The embassy was closed on this day, which had us very frustrated and worried. They then called him a week later (Aug 30) to reschedule the interview to October 9. The interview was scheduled for 1300, however as they were very behind, his interview actually happened around 1630 as he was the last one interviewed for the day.

Now for the questions they asked him...his consular officer asked him a lot about how we met, what I did for a living, my previous marriage, if I had any kids ( I have no kids). He also saw our engagement photos and kept insisting that we must have gotten married already, which my fiancé said no, thats the Moroccan tradition to have a big ceremony with the dates and milk. He thoroughly reviewed our relationship of evidence such as the ferry tickets, plane tickets, car rental receipts, photos, and he even sat there and appeared to be reading (to himself) some of our WhatsApp conversation transcript. Anyway, since our relationship is authentic, we have strong evidence of relationship and I believe that even if the guy was originally skeptical, that evidence overcame that.

So make sure to have thorough evidence (screenshots of social media posts, chat transcripts, tickets and receipts of trips/gifts etc, photos with them and their family). Because they will review it if they are skeptical. And it can be a deciding factor.

congrats! I have a question if you would not mind please ,regarding the case once it leaves NVC and is received by the consulate,what is the next step here ;did you schedule interview ,fill any forms and then the consualte contacted you with intervierw date and further instructions or did you just waited until they contacted you ? I need to know this ,since I m stuck at this situation I hear diffrent views from filing form DS 160 and such please inform,take care

We had to email the consulate a couple times per week to request an interview date before they emailed my fiancé back with the scheduled interview date, and list of required documents/approved doctors for the medical. As far as the paperwork, you can start gathering some of the stuff like relationship of evidence, birth certificates, and other documents to be translated into english. Other stuff will have to wait till 2 weeks before the said interview date (such as the medical exam).

ok thank you my friend ! you did not have to fill a ds 160 or anything to schedule interview?
blank avatar Nadia&Farouk on 2018-10-09 said:
We did, but you don't need to fill that out in order for them to schedule the interview. You DO need to fill it out before your interview, as well as bring the confirmation page and the visa fee money (in local currency) with you to the interview.

so i just need to wait until they contact my fiance and then fill the ds 160 prior to interview date ? i am just confused some poeple say you have to fill it then request interview .my case has been ready for interview since 08/15 .i just wanna know if i have to fill that form.in order to request interview .you see all this confusion woukd be avoided if they at least answer the phone or email back but THEY DONT!

True. Go ahead and fill it out to be on the safe side. And continue to email them to request the interview. The truth is they fell behind with scheduling and had to rescheduled a lot of people including ourselves. We were originally scheduled for Aug 23, but then my fiancé's interview date was rescheduled to today Oct 9. As we speak, he is in the consulate perhaps either waiting or doing the interview. I will update y'all with the results.

Congratulations! I'm very happy for you two. It seems like K1s are so rarely approved in Morocco so i'm sure you're very excited to be able to now get married and start your lives together.Thank you for posted a review so quickly. My husband will also be interviewing in Casablanca inshallah so we like to hear of others experiences.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
