Well after talking with our lawyer and her going over the paperwork from the consulate and making a few calls, everything has been decided. I am leaving in 3 weeks for Morocco to get married, and then we will just file directly through the consulate. Right now I am in the process of getting everything wrapped up here, and soon I will be with Ali again. I wish everyone the best here.

Glad to hear that you are going to be able to go and be with Ali and get married in Morocco. Enjoy your trip and wishing you all the best with your trip and upcoming marriage. (F)

Hi, we married at Morocco too but I wish we did the DCF as you. Be prepared to be there once he has been scheduled for his interview unless you plan to be there throughout the filing process.

Good Luck!!

Thanks, yeah I will be staying there until his visa comes through. I can't wait I only have 3 more weeks.... Right now I just have some shopping to do, and I just have a few more things to do, and I will be on my way. :dance:

Ali is so happy, a few days after I get there he is taking me on a trip, it's been so long since we have been alone, we have a lot of catching up to do. Plus his family knows people so the paperwork for me has been taken care of.

Good luck to the steps of getting married in Morocco. It took us 3 weeks to get all paperwork complete but to be prepared beforehand is a blessing.

Info-Pass officials will say only that "other authorities" are handling our case; we eventually got our Senator's office involved
Spring 2009: A letter arrives, saying his 2005 fingerprints have expired and need to be updated. We head down to Indy and get his prints redone.
June 2009: We FINALLY get the AOS interview letter just shy of FOUR YEARS since submission of AOS application...

July 2009: after the interview, his 10-year Green Card arrives. Alle-freaking-luia.

Application in progress, 2015. We divorced in 2012 but are still good friends. E is helping organize H's application for Naturalization... fingers crossed!

Best wishes to you!
