Middle East and North AfricaMENA AOS/EAD/AP Filers

Somehow I think that USCIS likes to use a sigmoidoscope for all interviews or at least it feels that way. :lol:

Middle East and North AfricaMENA AOS/EAD/AP Filers

Thanks! :D I didnt have any doubts about it and figured we would get seperated based on what I read about AOS interviews. That seems to be pretty normal at a lot of the offices. There was another couple there before us and the husband was waiting outside alone waiting for "his turn". I guess thats how they roll in Louisville.

You had a "stokes interview". Congrats on the approval :thumbs:

Do you live close to a airport? Try the food service companies at the airport, always hiring. It's not the best job but it's a start.

Sorry to be blunt but you sound desperate. You see it as love, he sees it as his ticket to America. Get to know him first, visit him a few times.

Honestly, I don't think i speak English well or maybe i underestimate myself.. also i have no friends around to speak English with which it makes it hard for me to improve my skills in communication.. i love reading and it helps really..


My husband spoke English very well while he was still in Morocco, he read English books very often.

I have to admit that I am happy the way things worked out for my husband and I. Being that we were denied the first time around really helped us learn more about each other. I could have re-filed immediately but somehow I just was guided to file 3 years later(perhaps extreme) but I saw that my fiance (then) was always by my side. Now if his intention is fraud then I can say he's a real good actor and should be up for an Oscar lol. So far things are better then I ever imagined. The dust has settled in and he's become more adapted to the culture here. I have not seen any red flags from him. I always remain positive, never showing him any doubt but I guess that would go for any relationship I was in. After all we've been through nothing seems impossible at this point.

Yup, they should question why there are so many denials. We are one of them. I've contacted everyone from Obama on down. Anyone reading this should send their story to WAFIN.COM. It's a Moroccan on-line newspaper with support
as well. It is disgraceful what this consulate is getting away with.



No matter who you contact nothing ever changes :no: Just keep going strong, there is a light at the end :yes:

Middle East and North AfricaThe hoping not to be denied at Casablanca thread

He wants to do it in Casa. I think this is because I'm living in Rabat and so we can work on paperwork together before the interview for the proof documents instead of having to do it from a distance. All the translation from Arabic to English is here, all the police records (do we need those?), etc. are here and he has a permanent address instead of a dorm.

Even if Casa is notorious, I think it's better to have access to resources (and each other) and it feels like the right thing to do.

*shrug*

He will need police records from Italy too, dated within 6 months of the interview.

Hubby and I are hopefully finishing up with NVC by the end of the month....we were denied our k1 last january.....was thinking about going to morocco this time for the interview....what do people think of this? I know they don't usually let usc into the interview, but have seen that some have been in the interview. Is it possible to make things worse by being there? I want to see his family again anyways, but really want to go to give hubby support. Thanks all for the feedback!

I totally recommend it if you can. Very supportive. Best feeling when your hubby will come out telling you "approved"!Then go celebrate at Oliveri's Ice Cream Shop :)

On the K1 application you have to answer yes or no to have you ever filed a visa application? He filed a visitor visa 3 yrs ago. When the CO asked him about the visitor visa, she said "who were you going to visit?" and my fiance told the truth.....he was going to see her. So that led her to other questions about her and their relationship.

don't be sorry, happy to share!!!


I'm really amazed that they even gave you the reasons of denial. Thanks for sharing :)
moroccogirlnyFemaleMorocco2010-10-30 16:44:00
Middle East and North AfricaThe hoping not to be denied at Casablanca thread

SORRY my computer went crazy LOL

anyway, I got an email on Thursday with the specific reasons for denial. "denial due to your fiances pattern of establishing relationships with American women , his inability to describe his relationship with you, and his inability to provide basic details about your life." OK he did have a relationship with an American woman 3 yrs ago which obviously did not work out, they never filed a K1 or any visa together. And as for him not providing the info....he had appropriate pics, emails etc, and if the CO felt his answers were not sufficient, well then isn't that subjective? I may interview someone and feel they are full of ####### while another person may interview them and not have any issues. THIS JUST ISN'T RIGHT. I do have my congressman involved. I also emailed the atty who is filing the class action lawsuit. Also, I talked with Mark Ellis. I spoke with him before I knew the specific reasons for denial and at that time he suggested I marry in Morocco. As for the diplomatic pouch, the number they gave me is not in the system according to the guy that answers the phone. So is it in a pouch sitting in Casa? Who knows???!!!! On Monday I plan to call the chief CO and see where I can get. My heart tells me to get married there. Maybe that will satisfy the above reasons for denial....? but you never know with CASA. I do not know any of you personally but I feel so connected to you all from reading your journey. I have all of you in my prayers!!

How did they know of his past relationship? Sorry, just curious.

Great. Thanks. Was it anyone in Casa? Do you know the name? Or probably any agent would be comparable?


He went some place in Kenitra, I'll ask my husband if he remembers. I heard through some others that there is a agency in Casa with good rates as well. Also now with the summer here and Ramadan in about 6 weeks the rates are higher.

For the ladies who are starting to make arrangements to come home with their husbands (and for those who have gone through this in the past) what's the cheapest place for getting the one way ticket back? Does anyone know? Going into the RAM offices there? online discount airline sites? Anyone?

my husband went through a local agent in Morocco which was less then what I got quoted online.

Well, Vanessa1 has her interview for CR1 in the morning, I'm gonna go down there and sit with her while she waits for her husband in the consulate.. And then my fiance has his interview the next day.

I've decided, since I've been here for 4+ months, not to include a stack of old chat logs, since I sent some with the petition. I'm just sending him in with his forms, my passport and our daughter's passport along with boarding passes to show we've been here, a small book of good family photos, our daughter's birth certificate with his name on it, and I added an Evolution of Relationship letter, like what they suggest at the Manila consulate, to address the fact that I failed to provide much info about how we met online in the original petition.

I really hope it's enough evidence. I don't have much more to offer them. I've grown to feel that loading them down with too much stuff as evidence can give the appearance of over compensating, and that's just as bad as bringing nothing at all. I want him to stand on his own honesty and sincerity, and God willing, we'll be just fine.

I'm so ready to get all this overwith and go home to see my family again.. And have some Maryland crabs before the season's over. And some Ben and Jerry's. And a Whopper. With a Mountain Dew. :wub:

I didn't get the chance to read all of this thread, but something I saw made me wonder - is it possible for those whose marriages have lasted to contact someone to let them know there ARE successes? I'll never forget the ###### he (we) went through when he first got here (PHL) - all the grilling, and then the lady called me into the office to tell me that she 'hoped' I wouldn't go there in two years crying about how he left me. That was in addition to telling me that I didn't have to marry him - I could send him home without getting into trouble, but if I 'had' to marry him, to wait until the last minute to have time to change my mind. How Moroccan men were notorious for finding "women like us" (older, overweight, unattractive, but with some money - yes, she really said that. I'd like to see ANYONE look good after spending two days in the airport, waiting for a flight, by the way), marrying them, getting them pregnant, beating them up, taking their money, and then running off. I'm not saying we've had the longest marriage or anything, but we're almost at 3-1/2 years, things are even better than before, and he's had his 10 year card for a while now. And with all the outside-of-the-relationship problems we're having (my ex, financial issues, things I don't want to post online, etc), most people we know are amazed that he's staying with me through it all. They all agree "he must REALLY love you". Ok - I'm impressed too - I know he loves me, but ....GEEZ .... (I'm really happy about it, though!)

Anyway, I wish all of you the best of luck. And if anyone really does know a way to let them know over there that there are successful, non-fraud marriages (since it sounds like they don't think there are) between American women and Moroccan men - please let us know! We'd love to help out.

This is what they have on their website at Casa:

Internet Romance and Marriage Fraud

Many Americans befriend Moroccans through Internet dating and social networking sites and these relationships often to lead marriage, or engagement. While many of the marriages between Americans and Moroccans are successful, the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca warns against marriage fraud. It is not uncommon for foreign nationals to enter into marriages with Americans solely for immigration purposes. Relationships developed via correspondence, particularly those begun on the Internet, are especially susceptible to manipulation. Often, the marriages end in divorce in the United States when the foreign national acquires legal permanent residence (“green card”) or U.S. citizenship. In some cases, the new American or permanent resident then remarries a wife he divorced before, around the same time as entering into a relationship with a sponsoring American citizen.

Some of the signs that an Internet contact may be developing a relationship with an American in order to obtain an immigrant visa through marriage are:

• Declarations of love within days or weeks of the initial contact;
• Proposals or discussions of marriage soon after initial contact;
• Requests to the American to visit the foreign national’s home country soon after the declaration of love or proposal;
• Responses to messages from the American friend are along the lines “I love you/Sorry I missed your call,” or similarly one-sided conversations;
• Once engaged, married, or an immigrant visa petition is filed, suddenly starts missing scheduled appointments to chat or call.

While chat rooms, dating and social networking sites are great ways to make friends across international borders, the U.S. government urges Americans who meet foreign nationals on the Internet to take the time necessary to get to know them well before considering marriage keep in mind the signs noted above. Entering into a marriage contract for the principal purpose of facilitating immigration to the United States for an alien is against U.S. law and can result in serious penalties, including fines and imprisonment for the American citizen and the foreign national involved.

Sorry, was distracted when I wrote that. I meant "profiling that she is American and he is MOROCCAN" not Muslim.

It goes the other way around too...many Moroccan women marry American men and come to the USA and just vanish from their husbands. My Senator had seen many cases like that.

It depends on which city you marry, who you know and who you pay off . It could take anywhere from 1 week to 1 month. Your fiancée needs to be prepared regarding paper work. She can look up the information on the US Consulates website.

Hi Big Deal OP-

I don't believe your relationship is real. You haven't even bothered to claim that you love her so much, can't live without her, etc.

Dude, I know Egypt sucks right now and you wanna get out. Find a woman your own age, or pray that your "hun" doesn't have kids, because if some 24 year old punk was pushin up on my mama for a greencard, I can assure you he would WISH he'd stayed his @ss at home.

That is all, good day, folks :whistle:
