Middle East and North AfricaIS IT EVER HOPELESS????
I think everyone agrees that it is the TOTALITY of what the relationship is between two people that speaks volumes. I feel that what lots of people have been trying to say is to take an objective step back. Look at your circumstances like a CO might.

Middle East and North AfricaIS IT EVER HOPELESS????

I want to also add that I would also question a more than 20 year age difference between a USC and a beneficiary (no matter the country or the gender). This regularly does not happen in most cultures.

Casa can be intimidating. However, they are trying to do their job with little staff and even less funding. If they truly question the validity of the relationship, they don't have the time or resources to investigate or even schedule another interview. It is much easier if the case is not laid out in front of them in the petition to send it back and let USCIS deal with it.



SO, one more question. If the case gets sent back to the USCIS, does somebody here in the USA decide the case? Does that mean we get to add more evidence before they decide it? And is the decision final or can we keep appealing it? Thanks for the info!! Debbie



ONE MORE THING TO ALL READING THIS POST: Hamid was invited by a friend who owns a business to move to England and this guy would sponsor him. But he didn't do it. His brother lives in Spain and wanted him to come there to be with him, but Hamid didn't want to leave Morocco. He also has a friend in Italy who wanted him to come there, but he didn't want to. Also, he would just as soon stay there and have me move there, but I can't do that due to health insurance and such. So, my point is, he has had more than once chance to leave Morocco if that was his reason for wanting a visa. Believe it or not... that is your choice. I am trying my best not to judge people on this site, and I would respectfully ask you to do the same. Yes, we have an age difference, but he looks older and I look younger. Go figure....People don't always fall in love with folks that other people deem appropriate, but only God can figure that one out. Thanks for listening! Debbie



I think people need to be realistic. It is NORMAL to question any relationship where there is a big age gap. I am not judging you. I am trying to help you realize that this will be in the mind of the CO and probably will be something that will need to be overcome.

As for Senators, we had to get one involved in our case because Casa never sent out an interview date or the package to my then fiance. In an instance like this, where we were getting no response from the consulate in any way, shape, or form, the Senator's office was of great assistance.

Middle East and North AfricaAvoiding red flags in our K-1 application

Hi all,

I just discovered this website and forum today. I just posted on the K-1 forum, and thought I should probably write an intro on this forum as well.

I am a 42 year old American chemist and my fiance is a 27 year old Turkish chemical engineer who went to grad school in the U.S. and Canada. We met through his music lyrics website in January. We are absolutely head-over-heels, madly in love. We have written over 550 long e-mails and have talked for hundreds of hours on the phone. I also correspond with his brother and sister, both Ph.D. students. I visited Sansal for 9 days last month, which is when we got engaged. We had planned to marry and settle in Istanbul after he completed his 5 month mandatory stint in the Turkish Navy in September.

I sold my house, started taking Turkish lessons, and was preparing to quit my job and move to Turkey. I went in for my annual mammogram two weeks ago, and they discovered I had breast cancer. So now I can't quit my job or I'll lose my insurance. I go for surgery next week and will then begin 5-6 months of chemo and radiation. But we're still as keen as ever to get married, bald or not!

We have two options. Sansal said I can come to Turkey and we can get married right now--before I start chemo next month. Then I can apply for a K-3 visa. Or we can apply for a K-1 visa and get married here in the U.S. as soon as he gets out of the Navy (late Sept.)

In my mispent youth (1990), I applied for a K-1 for my Costa Rican "surfer dude" boyfriend. Just 5 WEEKS later, he was in the U.S. He hated the U.S. and went back to C.R. after six weeks.

I had assumed that the K-1 visa for Sansal would go through in 5 weeks, and had actually been afraid of applying too EARLY! However, some Internet searching showed that it now takes around 7 MONTHS!

In addition, a friend of a friend who works in the INS heard our story and said we will be declined for sure. We have several factors against us:

1) My fiance is a Muslim AND a chemical engineer.
2) I am a chemist.
3) I have already successfully obtained a K-1 visa in the past.
4) I am 15 years older than my fiance.

Apparently #1-2 make us looks like potential terrorists, and #3-4 make me look like a "green card bride."

Have any of you on this forum run into the "terrorist" issue in your applications? Can they deny a K-1 based on our occupations?! Does it mean we'll have to wait 12 months instead of the already outrageous 7?

Also, does anybody have suggestions of what to do to avoid looking like potential Muslim terrorists? Should I send a photo of Sansal drinking a beer with dinner? ;) Do I need to specify very clearly that I am a chemist that studies the plastic in asthsma inhalers, and Sansal designs only big concrete storage tanks?

Should I avoid mentioning that he is currently in the Turkish Navy for his mandatory service? Will this make him look like a "trained militant" or something? What should I list as his job? The Navy? His old job he held until last month? (The same company has offered to hire him back after his service.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice,

Sharon in Missouri


First of all, welcome.

Secondly, I don't think it is a "given" that you will be denied. Muslims get approved. Age differences get approved. The main thing would be to show in your application as much evidence as possible to prove the validity of your relationship. You have things going for you (having similar interests in terms of music, profession, etc). You know what things you might have against you. Address them all. Be upfront about your fiance's situation. It is best to be truthful as fabricating some truth could cause him not to get the visa. I think the military service might cause them to do some administrative processing (further checking) but does not necessarily preclude him from a visa.

Best wishes!

tnh9479FemaleMorocco2007-05-14 15:49:00
Middle East and North AfricaWHY?

Admin Review/Processing is done after the interview because if they are found ineligible for the visa in the first place (based on the intervew), there would be no reason to waste resources to conduct such a lengthy review.



But why do people in Morocco have their AR/P done in about a week to two weeks on average from this board anyways and Egypt is on average 4 to 5 months? It makes absolutely no sense to me.

I do hope you get a response but the negative voice in my mind is telling me they'll just spew out some nonsense and not look into it at all.

It really makes me sick to think that it's going to take my husband another two to three weeks to complete his pckt 3 on top of everything else. Sorry just venting out loud here!!! It wouldn't bother me as much if I thought the AR/AP would take maximum of a month.



Like Laura said, much of what we say is only speculation, but my guess is it has something to do with the large difference in the number of visas Egypt processes compared with Morocco AND the odds of Moroccan names being less likely to get name hits in the database. I am sure its not that simple though and there are otehr components that are also adding to the differnce.


This is just speculation on my part, but I believe the consulate in Morocco does not have the manpower to perform much in the way of Administrative Processing or Review. Either the beneficiary is approved and goes through a final name check for the visa OR the petition is sent back to the States. Notice that very few petitions are sent back from Egypt. They go through a lengthy review.

Middle East and North AfricaCasablanca, Morocco CO

I am not sure if any of you have been to the embassy in Rabat, but this place is secure - it is just an option to speak about if it is needed - I am sure they are discussing it if need be - I do not think they would have to spend any money on securing Rabat for consular activities - they also do not need to do full service either and certain services can be scheduled for certain days - not every day of the week. You can very easily schedule these days - people and businesses do this all the time in America - you spend one day here and the rest at the other job site. There are several Consulate Officers and each week one could be the one to do services in Rabat. I have had to organize things like this before for government programs and they work very well. I just think that there can be temporary solutions to this instead of creating the amazing backlog that is becoming apparent. I figure they must do around 50 or more interviews a week and i am sure I am being conservative - the amount of time they have been closed now is creating an undue hardship on them as well as us - I would not want to be in their shoes when it is re-opened and their moods are going to be far from nice. The longer they take to make a solution, whether it be temporary or permanent, the longer the cases build up and then their jobs become enormous. I am thinking of them as much as us here. So I do not believe they would have to do a total re-organization - it is just a temporary solution that can be limited in the amount of time and staff.


To be honest, I don't think the Consulate really cares if there is a backlog. They will get stuff processed when they get stuff processed. All you have to do is look at the waits the Jordanian consulate had for a while. It is not a big deal to the consulate workers.

Miami would be great, but all of us here in South Florida are in a pretty bad drought (the flora is definitely NOT green). We are under water restrictions and they may be made more stringent if the rainy season doesn't come soon! (Come on afternoon thunderstorms!!!!)

I still keep checking and hoping that things in Casa return to some semblance of normal.

Middle East and North AfricaCasa update

Jen- talked to him and he told me that there was some guy outside the consulate who has an office nearby that was charging people to send an e-mail to the consulate asking for a new appointment. He said the guy was charging $3.00 to send the e-mail. Guess the con-men don't realize that they have us and we are already on top of this issue.


ladies i am so sorry that it didnt open today. inchallah next week it will open and they will do what they have been promising us for weeks, like opening or giving our hubbies new information as far as new interview dates. it doesnt feel like to me like they are doing their jobs i dont know about you ladies? bc instead of having them wait and wait they dont notify you at all that it will be canceled even though they say they will. well god bless ladies. i am so sorry. but soon everything will be on the up. :yes: :yes: :yes:
love natalie


Hubbies???? All of you filed for a K-1, correct? Be careful throwing that word around Natalie. If it happens to be in any of your supporting evidence and you are not married (which you shouldn't be if you filed a K-1), it could throw up a "red flag" to the interviewer and cause your petition to be sent back due to suspicion you are married.

On another topic, I keep checking every day and hoping for all of you that the security situation gets straigntened out and Casa resumes business.

Best of luck to you all!

Middle East and North AfricaThe ME/NA Welcome to America Thread

Two more months -- no new news. Still hanging on -- hoping we'll get his AOS before the 2-year anniversary of our application for it, come August.

Hoping everyone is well, :star:

Hi all,

Just an update, since it's been a few months since our last post.

We're still waiting on H's AOS interview/approval. The case was filed in August 2005, and he did went in for the Biometrics appointment that November.

In April 2006, an interview notice came (for May '06) but then a cancellation followed.

No further news to date. We've spoken with an immigration specialist at a local official's office, but the most she could tell us was that he must be stuck in some kind of FBI name check blackhole. We've requested reviews from USCIS/DHS twice since May '06, but no new info. For now, according to everything we've heard, there's nothing to do but wait.

At least we're waiting together!

I don't visit VJ very often anymore, but I'll certainly post an update when we get any news or action on his AOS case.

Best wishes to everyone else,

:star:

E


Wow! I can't believe you are still waiting!!!! The only solace, when he gets his green card it will be the 10 year type!

Thanks everyone. We'll be sure to tell you how it goes on Wednesday. Our only main concern is that we did not file the vaccination supplement. At the time, we didn't know he would need a copy of that record from the civil surgeon in Morocco (and they are so loathe to give it). So...we just put a letter in the AOS packet stating he had the vaccinations at the time of his medical and all that information was in the brown packet surrendered at the airport upon arrival. Besides that fact...I don't want my husband to have to get double vaccinated. We both believe in getting what you need...not anything more. We will discuss this if we have to. We never got an RFE from the NBC so we are praying all will be well. Worst case scenario...we get told to go get it done (I already have the civil surgeons in this area printed out and know which ones are even on our insurance plan.) Other than that, we have plenty of proof of our relationship.

No more updates lately! These consulates seem to be going on vacation / denial mode. :(

Also...I am waiting to see some other AOS interviews!

Middle East and North AfricaLatest from Casa

So now I just read an e-mail that says the target date for re-opening is the 31st. There is now telling how truthful that is so we will have to wait and see. Just thought I would let you know what I have heard.

what e-mail you read that in? was it from the consulate ? I'm sorry I just wanna make sure cuz you know ppl like to talk.
and I prefer hearing bad news than hearing false good news.I don't like to have hope and then be dissapointed.so please make sure the information is true before posting.thx :blush:




We post to find out the truth in the different information we hear. No one said it was 100% sure. The point is to bounce information around and see who knows what. You can always not read the thread which will keep you from getting false hopes because no one here wants to be dissapointed anymore or mislead anyone.


That was kind of uncalled for. It appeared to me that the person who replied just wanted to verify if this was an official email from the embassy or just word of mouth.

Middle East and North AfricaPersonal Attacks?

vj has lost a lot more than two people since I've been here.

There is JP, VP, mybackpages, bosco, Rahma, ..........................those are the only permanent ones I can think of so far but I'm sure the list is longer.


Please do not be naive enough to believe that the people who left did so because of personal attacks occuring. There is a lot more to it than that. Sometimes, believe it or not, people do have a life. They have moved on to a different stage in their life and VJ does not hold that position it once did.

For me, the middle-school mentality of a lot on this board, and in MENA in particular, is a HUGE reason to back away. What is the point of talking to people who refuse to take out their earplugs and remove their rose-colored glasses? I don't believe in "blowing sunshine up someone's @ss" either.

Middle East and North AfricaSpecial Registration for Moroccans?
Here is another link from ICE. This program looks like it is targeted at people who come from the select group of countries on something other than a K visa (like a student or employment visa). Just my two cents.

Middle East and North AfricaSpecial Registration for Moroccans?

We filed for AOS today and the interviewer asked if Ahmed was registered for some special group/status because he is from Morocco. Of course, we answered no, since neither of us had ever heard of such a thing. She said it may delay AOS approval because he will have to register towards the end of the process and we would be rcv'ing additional information on it via post. Has anyone else heard of this?


I've never heard of it, we didn't have any problems with AOS. She wasn't more specific about the special group/status?


NC- somethingorother. I asked for the full acronym, but she couldnt seem to remember it or find supporting documentation. I asked it it was a 9/11- related law/group/rule, she said no, just that certain countries' immigrants must be specially registered. They are given a special ID card showing they are registered with the group. She said it's been around since 2002, but had little other info. Really frustrating woman, I felt like we were on trial for murder or something. :wacko:


I believe she is talking about this. (Scroll to the bottom to see the most recent history.) However, I think a lot of this was put into place before the photographing/fingerprinting that happens with everyone at the POE.

Middle East and North AfricaThey all miss the TV, don't they...?!
Thanks for the cool sites everyone!

We have had Dish Network Arab and French line-up for quite a while and really enjoy it. It was cool being able to watch the Real Madrid game yesterday. That made my soccer-fanatic husband so so so happy.

Middle East and North AfricaIP address issue
This is all a load of #######. I personally know Peezey and know she would not spend the time to make up another account to post what she thinks. That being said and Peezey's account been restored, I think that the issue brought up is how the care needs to be taken in addressing these issues (and not simply going by rumor -- which in this case was inaccurate).

I happened to be reading the US State Department warnings about foreign countries the other day (I was doing some research on a country I had heard about) and saw there was an updated warning about KSA on June 14th. I immediately thought of you. Take care.

Middle East and North AfricaPosting personal pics as avatar/signature

I love showing pics of hubby and me. I really don't care what site they end up on. (not like brittney, i got on my knickers ;) )

Jackie (F)


You may not. I personally didn't either. But for my husband (and maybe some of yours...unless you ask...you do not know) it was not the same. He was not very happy about it.
tnh9479FemaleMorocco2007-06-25 20:01:00
Middle East and North AfricaPosting personal pics as avatar/signature
I have seen a lot of people putting personal pics as their avatar or in their signature. I did it too until last summer, when "she who shall not be named" decided to come to this site, take our pics and information and post deroguatory information about a few of us from MENA.

As I see this becoming more prevalent in MENA again, I thought I was give everyone some forewarning that yes, it could happen to you as well.

It appears the H visas have been mostly worked on and that they are back to I-751's a little bit. We are just hoping my husband conditions get lifted before December.

I have strayed away for a while and step back to pretty much the same old same old. At this rate, the twins will be born before my husband gets his LOC.

Thought the VSC people should know about this post on Kez, a fellow VJer and VSC filer:

Has anyone else who filed in December / January received a duplicate receipt notice? My husband got his originally in January and got another one in the mail a few days ago. The date on this was April 10th, and still has his old priority date. Across the main part of the letter you could see faintly see duplicate. Are they sending out longer extensions? We are kind of confused as to why they sent him another letter 3 months later.

Wow...way too many TSC people on this list (old and young).

My husband just went for his biometrics today. They were BUSY but still managed to take us in 15 minutes early and have him in and out in 5 minutes. This must be the only efficient part of this process.
