Middle East and North AfricaHappy Hump Day (Wednesday)!!!

Oh well that's great then! How's it looking for tomorrow? Another day off or back to work? Or are you taking it off anyway because your husband is coming? I'm so excited for you! As for our NOA2...I got the email on Monday night that we are approved! :) I still haven't received the actual letter but I am so grateful to have that notification and can't believe it happened as fast as it did because there's still a lot of September filers on Igor's list that are waiting. I'm just so grateful and hope everyone else gets that approval soon. It's an amazing feeling...I'm sure you remember. :)


I am so happy for you. I had probably congratulated you about it on Monday and just forgot because my mind has been going crazy preparing for hubby's arrival. We do have school tomorrow and I am going to go the whole day and then head straight to the airport afterwards.

I wish you a super fast journey through NVC.

Middle East and North AfricaInternational calling cards
QUOTE (MouadsWife @ Oct 12 2009, 08:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Can someone do a recap of the MagicJack with me again? I read it a while back, but making sure I understand it completely before I buy it. Im thinking of sending one to my fiance in the next week or so. Someone told me that when I get the majicjack to set it up with a U.S. local phone number. 1. Can I choose the number myself? And so when I send it to him he can call me by just dialing (example) 318-555-5555 and thats it???? It is that simple? Im thinking ahead of time, of him being approved and giving it to his family so they can call him anytime. So if they can call him here in the U.S., and the call a cell number,.... there are NO fees that his family would pay by calling a cell number? Just want to make sure.. know we been over this before but I swear I have the memory of a gnat!


I'm thinking magic jack too. Any calling card is going to be expensive any way you go. I just want to know the best way to get it to him. All boxs have been opened my customs i have sent. So far he has recieved the things i have gotten him. I am think the post is not the best way to send it.

Middle East and North AfricaInternational calling cards
My question is very off subject, but being my fiance is in Morocco, you guys would be the ones to answer me. I am looking for a international card for my fiance, not me. The telephone rates there are so bad. If he gets my voice mail on my phone that is it, his money on his phone is gone. And becasue he is not working at this point in time he can not even call me, just can not afford the 15 dirhams a minute. And recently the phone comp has not been running any deals. So I was wondering if you guys know of any international calling cards they can use in morocco to help be able to call out of morocco and not cost so much. I have looked but not been able to find what i am looking for, besides a AT&t calling card. What do your fiances and husbands do while waiting to come to the US and call you???? Should i just get a magic jack, i know that is a choice.

hello
pls let me know about my intervew will do 24 dec but i dont know what i will do and what i will bring with me same paper and how will intervew s quistion and all thing of intervew


The most important thing is to make sure you and your girl are going over interview questions. I have a list of questions i can give you if you like. When my fiance went he took a small photo album of pics of when i was there with him, and recent proof of relationship. He never got to show them any of this, but he had it if need be.

They will ask you several questions about your girl. My fiance got hung up on the romantic question, but my senator is finding out there was not a real reason for his denile. I will tell you this, if you do not understand in what reference the interviewer is asking a question, ask them to explain. Do not answer any question that you do not understand. And if you answered a question that you thought you knew the answer too, but they ask it again that is a sign of you did not understand, and do not answer them. Ask what do you mean by that, or they are using it as a trick question. Unfornatly only so many are aloud into the states a year and some very good men might be denied. So have your girl call her senator a couple of days before the interview and see what they will do if you get denied. I had only 1 and half days to try to keep my faince's petition in Morocco and the only senator i could get ahold of was not willing to call the consulate. I wish you luck and let me know if you want those interview questions.


real sorry to hear that...have you tried congressmen as well? sad.gif


NO i have not tried congressman, at this point the petetion is back and all i can do is let uscis do the review. I have one senator working with me on the review and the other one is ready for the interview they said they will call and inqury about him before the interview. So I got my duckies in a row now. I am gathering everything i can think of that will be proof of our relationship. My file is very thick already and that is not printed chats yet.

So if the translator is not on this list ..... the translations that have already been done will not be accepted???? there were no translators listed in my So city.. he has one that is certified and we have all the stamps and signature that are required.....

Just one more thing for me to worry about ..... we have already sent one document translated with our I129f.... still waiting on our NOA2!!!


Thanks for the listings just in case we need to change ....


From what the consulate told me it has to be one of the translators on the list. Majid is going to go to one of the translators when he goes to Casablanca for his medical appointment. What in your 129 pkg needed to be translated?


Approved doctors and now approved translators. I am not sure my fiance use one of the approved translaotrs. But they had no problem with his translations. I think most men are going to go to the nearest translator that can translate english.There is some cities that do not have english translators, so some men will have to travel to even have this done. How was you able to get the consulate to let you know this info, when i call they never seem to want to help with anything.

Middle East and North AfricaVisa for muslim women with american man
QUOTE (Aya&John @ Nov 29 2009, 03:57 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I am an Egyptian Muslim beneficiary and my fiance is a USC Muslim revert of one year. We filed for our K1 last June and my visa interview is on Dec. 13th. It sure is an uncommon case but we do have a true relationship and are hoping for a non-biased interview. We are planning on having a civil marriage and a religious marriage in the 90-day period and planning a beach wedding on our next anniversary.

Cases like ours are uncommon but they do happen. I read a few times on VJ that if the male petitioner converted to Islam, the CO usually asks for any proof that he really converted and sometimes the embassy contacts his parents to make sure they know and approve of his conversion. The couple should be prepared for that. It would be nice if the fiancee has a close relationship with the fiance's family, since usually Muslim families will not give their approval of the engagement...

Good luck and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me!

Thanks for the info. My fiance's best friends, sister is trying this and they want to be prepared for everything. I have no idea if the man is muslim or not. But Morocco is a high fruad post so things will be hard.

Middle East and North AfricaVisa for muslim women with american man
I have a question. My fiance and I was talking about what would be the requirements for a muslim women doing a visa with a american man. Can they even do a fiance visa. I know when it comes to a women that things are very different, cuase they have to marry a muslim man. So is it possible to them to do a fiance visa. Most states here do civil cermonies and not recongnize a mosque Nikkah, except in one state. So do they need to get married in Morocco or can they do a fiance visa. I already told my fiance the man will have to prove he is muslim too. And i have not seen this come up a lot. So any answers will be apperciated

QUOTE (Kenza @ Dec 7 2009, 08:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I suggest getting married and then doing the CR1 visa...


I asked the lawyers about that, and they said that was a option. But if we get married, and for some bad reason we was denied again then we would have to wait for our review, which takes a very long time. So they said it was easier to just start over with a k-1. With the right proof and a good interview there should not be any problems. They also said that if we married since there cahnges it could be seen as deperation from the first denial. And who knows how they think there at the consulate.
Angel Eyes YuseefFemale02009-12-08 09:00:00
Middle East and North Africafrustrated and wondering if there is more i can do
I'm not sure where I should post this. There is no forum for what i am trying to find out this time. So I came to where i get the best answers. Ok 2 months ago our visa was denied. For unclear reasons.

So I have been reading through all post posted here on VJ to gain insight and figure out what is going to happen and what are my next best steps. I have also talked with a couple of lawyers. When I first started this journey i was pretty much told I did not need a lawyer, because a K-1 visa was a simple visa. But after denial i decided ok i need a honest opinion. The lawyers said they have seen a trend in Morocco's Consulate that it is becoming harder to get a visa. I even followed the guide I found on VJ to put together my packet.

I also know that many women do call the consulate to try to make it clear there applications are on the up and up. And many men in Morocco believe this helped in there approval. Well I did call the consulate and this was one of the questions I asked. Does it help to call. The man I talked to said not really but you can call and email all you want. That he did not have acess to our applications to note we called or could not tell the interviews, becasue he would not know which interviewer we would have. That makes sense. I have also heard of some women calling so much that they were told to not call or email anymore or it could delay there application. So no i did not call the consulate while waiting on the interview, as I was not sure what was best.

Also I have learned that it can take 2-3 months for a returned application to make it back to the states and get in the system. I have tried calling NVC and USCIS. But so far nothing. I also know NVC will know first since they track all applications. And calling USCIS is pointless as you are calling a call center and they can only answer you with common questions and not give direct information. But there is no direct number I have found to call USCIS. So the waiting continues.

I was advised that I had to wait a year before starting a new visa. And that starting a new visa would be faster and easier at this point because a review could take 16-18 months. And there was a good possiblity my fiance could be here before a review could be done, if they even do one.

So I really want to make sure i'm doing the right and best thing this time with a visa. I also know that the more proof I have the less questions my fiance will be asked at the interview. So i need to know if i need more then what was advised to me. I was advised to send in phone records, chat logs, printed chats, emails, snail mails, affidivates from family and close friends and written statements from me and my faince. Besides the basic passport copys, and boarding tickets and passport type pics. Any thing else. Also how did you get your men ready for the interview?? I had basic interview questions. But is there a cetain way to answer these questions, certain answers they are looking for. I am just trying to make sure all goes good the next time.

Also i know that different times of the year can get you approved for your NOA2 faster. Just because it is slower. I really wished i could filed now, becasue it would be faster. But that is not possible. And the hardest part about being denied is you feel all alone and you just see everyone else being approved it is so hard. It has been very hard on my faince and sometimes he does not think i am doing anything about this. And it is only because he does not understand how this system works. I have tried to explain to him several times. But still i think he thinks i should be able to call these agencies and they will know that i care very much about him and wham all things will happen. But that is not how it works. Once i know they have our returned application it will be easier cause then i can track it. But untill the application returns or Febuary comes there is not much I can do except keep calling and checking. If there is anything esle I can do,please let me know. I will do anything to be with the man I love. And I will do anything to ease his pain. of hurting and show him i am not sitting doing nothing.

Middle East and North AfricaAirport changes in Morocco and customs

It's no different than in the United States, you go thru customs at your POE. It's different for people who are just transferring to another International flight, but you are staying in Morocco whether in Casa, Marrakesh or where ever. Morocco is your destination country and no matter where you enter, that's where you go thru customs. If you were to fly directly into Marrakesh, then you would go thru customs there, but because you are entering the country in Casa, you will go thru customs in Casa. Like I said, you will have to go thru customs, get your bags (if they arrive) and depending on how much luggage you have, pay someone to roll them upstairs for you to check in for your next flight. Whether that's the way it was in the past or not, that is how it was when I went in March '09.



This is scary, because i was told two different things now. A lady that has been to Morocco 13 times said that she has not ever gone through customs in Casa. That she always did that in Agadir as that was her last international airport and she flew into Casa too. So now i am really confused and I will just ask when i get my boarding passes.

Middle East and North AfricaAirport changes in Morocco and customs

I went in march of last year. You will have to go thru customs, get your bags and then go upstairs to recheck them for your next flight. I went from Atl to Paris to Casa to Marrakesh by myself with a baby. Good luck!!


Thanks, I asked in another group and they said they have not ever had to go and claim there bags and recheck it in. That they always went to there connecting flights and and had no problems. Did you go through customs in Merrakesh too??? That is a international airport too.You should only have to go through customs once.

Middle East and North AfricaAirport changes in Morocco and customs
I feel a little stupid for asking this, but i want to be prepared. I am going back to Morocco this friday. Except I will be going from Casa to Oujda another international airport. I thought that you did not have to go through customs till you reach your last fianl international airport. But today a friend told me that when i come into Casa i will have to go through customs and get my bags and recheck them in to get to the my connecting flight. I pretty much told her I did not believe her cuz when I went last time my final destination was casa. But if that was true then all people on my flight would of had to go through customs, but many had connecting flights, and they went past customs. And even though i seen this and know that the last international airport is where you go through customs, i am a little edgy on this and wondering. So any of you all had connecting flights in casa and did you have to go through customs before catching your next flight.

I just want to be prepared, cuz on my way back i only have 50 mins to get to my connecting flight.

as for the time lines, they are a rough estimite for processing times, just because it says 6 months don't mean squat. i gave u long ago at believing any estimate for time is even remotely close to accurate.

I didn't know where to post this, and sorry to be a downer, but I had to get this out.

My husband's dear uncle died tonight, Allah yer7amo. Understandably, Ahmed is having a very difficult time. His uncle was a very good man and he was the closest thing Ahmed had (other then his sister) left of his mother, Allah yer7ama, who also passed years ago.

Since I am not there with him it hurts me knowing I can't take away the pain he is feeling or at least ease some of the heartache. I have to be strong for him, but I just want to cry, but I won't....at least not infront of him. Tomorrow, they will have the janazah prayer and then lay his uncle next to Ahmed's mother. Oh boy, here come the tears...my heart is really hurting right now.

WE was approved on June 26, and had been watching the timelines. So we half way excepted a fast interview like everyone else. But when I called NVC we have to wait for 3 months, October 7. So I am wondering if maybe Ramadan could cause a delay in these interviews. Opinions wink.gif

Middle East and North AfricaDoes anyone else feel this way?
I use to go to the Dainel Pipes Blog and that is a dis-hearten blog. I just stop reading them. The sad thing is there is many scamming stories and there will contine to be these stories. Most of these stories have red flags, and they did not know or was scared to confront these issues when they should of. Most of these sad stores come from divorced women, and we must remember even though some of us are divorced we carry negatives from a last relationship to a new one like lack of communication and confortation. Some are use to abuse as in verbal and physical and accept it as normal. And some just jump into a realtionship so fast that they do not come out of the honey moon phase of it before marriage or visa's and then they are hit with the reality. Time is always a good thing even though it is hard. But then the easy stuff gets you in trouble, wink.gif

I agree, why do things you are not going to benifit from. That is why it is so important to talk about certain issues before the visa process. If you screwed up chalk it up to a life experince and move on and do not repeat.

Really, he forced you to give up your paycheck to pay for a home in Morocco? What kind of a brain dead ding dong are you if your husband can bully you into buying his family a home that you're not going to get any use out of? They never heard of the word "no"? Don't blindly hand over all your hard earned dough then get on a FB group and biitch about it. You're the dumbass who handed it over. Duh.

Oh hai everybody...smile.gif

Middle East and North AfricaTrash in Morocco
It is sad that these people have been hurt and lied to and abused. Unfornatly we only here about the bad. When I told my family I was with a Moroccan man I was sent negative blog sites. I was honest yes these things to happen. But that does not mean that mean everyone is like that. Honestly I do not have to look outside my country to find these types of things, there here already. We should make positive blogs about our experiences with forgein men.

Middle East and North AfricaNeed advice before trip to Morocco

Hello, this may not be the right or best place to post this, but I am hoping that both men and women in successful and unsuccessful relationships can help me out. I am American and about 4 months ago I met a Moroccan man. My feelings for this man are growing deeply, and I know I am falling in love with him. I have read many posts on here of successful relationships and that gives me hope, but I also hear a lot of the bad relationships and that worries me. Unlike some on this site, he as been to the US before, and has lived her for years while going to school and also working, but returned to Morocco to be close to his family. From the very beginning this man has told me that he views the distance between us and a barrier, and over time he has expressed he has feelings for me, but does not want to promise me anything that he is not 100% sure he can do or give. He has not come out and told me he loves me, but again, has expressed that he does have deep feelings for me. One of the issues is that he does not want to return to the US, he liked his time here, but he feels he needs to be close to his family. Another issue is that I have children from a prior marriage, which he says isn't an issue personally, and every time we speak he asks about them. Over the past 4 months we have spoken every day, sometimes several times a day, via email, instant message, or phone calls, and I know when we chat online he is at home and not at an internet cafe. I have suggested to him a couple of times that if this between us became serious I would consider moving to Morrocco or to Europe (he is trying to move to France or somewhere in Europe in hopes of finding a better life, and again, he has family in France), but he insists that this cannot happen, my children would not get the education there like they do here in the states, he couldn't support all of us right now, and basically thinks I'm crazy because he says Morocco is a third world country, and people try their whole lives to get out, and I'm doing the opposite...he said he couldn't allow it, especially since I have children to think about, and it would be selfish of me to ruin their lives for my own happiness.

I have plans to visit him shortly and I'm starting to get nervous, I hear of all these horror stories and it honestly scares me. I don't think he's using me because he's not looking for a green card, he has made it very clear he doesn't want to come back here. Also, he is going through some financial hardships over there and I have offered to help him and he has refused, saying that it would be an embarrassement to him, and he would feel awful if he accepted money from me. But on the other hand, he has not told his family or friends about me, and sometimes when we talk he can seem very distant and at others he seems very sweet and loving. Also, he is Muslim and I am Christian, but he has told me this is not an issue, although I have been reading up on Islam on my own and already had some prior knowledge of it. But I have heard some say that Islam does not allow men/women to marry outside of their religion, so this is also a concern for me. I have also heard that Moroccan men believe in having multiple wives, or they are not faithful to their wife, so any claifiication on this would be great.

Also, shortly after we starting talking he told me that if I found someone in the states that I should not wait for him, and although he would be hurt, I should move on. But if I'm not home he wants to know what I'm doing, and if he thinks I'm with other men he gets very jealous (which I'm not), but on the other hand he's not ready to make that committment, I don't understand it. Also, he has told me that he is still a virgin, as he was taught that you wait for marriage before you have sex, and I told him I understand and repect that, so I don't think he's having me come out there just for sex either.

So I have plans to visit him in a couple of weeks, and I don't know what to expect there, from him or the people of Morocco. And I don't know if I'm waisting my time, so I was hoping that some of you could give me some advice and help me understand what is going on here, and what Moroccan men are like, and in your opinion is he trying to gain my trust only to use and hurt me down the road. If you guys think he is being honest and sincere, what do you suggest I do to prove to him that this can work (like I said, after reading all the success stories it give me real hope)...do I tell him that I love him, or will that push him away, or do I take a step back and let him come to me?

Also, if I decide to go forth with the trip, what suggestions do you have as far as keeping myself from getting sick (i.e drinking the water, eating certain foods), immunizations the US requires for travel there, can I exchange US money for Moroccan money at a bank, do people in the airport speak english, and what is appropriate clothing and behavior for women there (I'm guessing shorts is not a good idea)?

Sorry for such a long and lengthy post, but this culture is new to me, and I know that Moroccan men are different from US men, so I know I cannot compare his behavior to American men. But I feel like I have met my soul mate, he makes me feel complete, but love is blind, and sometimes we overlook the red flags because we want something so desperately. Your feedback, advice and suggestions are appreciated. Thank you


I know this is a real fear for you. And it should be. I can only go by what you said in this thread. But he seems to have every excuss to not be with you or to comment. So what is the rush to go to Morocco. I would hate to see you fall for a man that does not want you to move there and does not want to move to you, how can there be a relationship. The other members have pretty much cleared everything else up. Just think about it and talk to him and see if you can get some of this cleared up with him. You should be asking him and getting difinate answers from him.

He did not say much about the exam it self. They did a chest x-ray, drew blood or poked his finger(don't remember which), and he got 4 shots which had to be the immazations. He talked more about he men he met there and there interviews dates. But it did impress him that she got all his results ready for him that day.
