Questions about K-1 Interview in Casablanca

[frazzled 0]

I am a newbie to this great site. I can't believe it exists, but it shows you how much trouble we are all in.

My fiancee has her interview in a couple of weeks. Finally. We got notice that NVC had sent it to the embassy on July 1 and a letter from the consulate that she would have an interview shortly. However, nothing happened. I was in Casablanca a few weeks ago and finally went to the consulate and they told me we would get a notice shortly. She got it the next week.

We have known each for 4 years and been engaged for 1 1/2.

I have a couple of questions for you experts out there.

1) Certificate of Celibacy. She has been divorced. She has a copy of her divorce decree. We have been told locally in Marrakech that the divorce decree is a substitute for the Certificate of Celibacy. The Certificate of Celibacy is for those that have never been married. Is that true? If not, where in the world do you get a Certificate of Celibacy.

2) I see there are a lot of fiance's(men) from Morocco, but not a lot of reports about fiancee's(women). It seems that most of the fiance's have 212's done. Does anyone know if the fiancee's do too? It also seems that even if the interview goes good, it can take 2 weeks to get the visa.

3) In the 4 years we have known each other, we have been together 19 separate times. About every other month. I made up a book of pictures with a page for each visit. I also have made a copy of my passport with all the visa entry stamps. We don't have phone logs as we talk on Skype (free!!) daily. I also made copies of my ATM withdrawls from my bank statements. Do you think that is adequate.

4) Police certificate. The Police keep sending her to an office where they get a certificate from Rabat. I checked in with a couple of friends from other municipalities in Morocco and they say that is right. I want to have all the right docs at the interview. Can anyone advise me on this please?

5) A couple of people mentioned a letter from a Senator sent to the consulate before the interview which appeared to help. Can you advise me what the letter said and what you told the Senator to get the job done? Did you have the Senator send it directly to the consulate before the interview?

6) I will be in Casablanca for the interview. Will they allow me to go in with her?

Thanks for the help in advance. I plan to add our experiences to this site.

2.) My fiance had his interview at the end of July and we did not submit a 212--we were told not to when I emailed them.

3.) They didn't ask us to see anything except the photographs--it seems like you have more than enough!

4.) I emailed the consulate regarding this issue as well, and they told me that it's correct that the police reports go through Rabat.

6.) They did not allow me to go into the interview with him (I waited outside across the street). I have heard on this forum that they do sometimes call the fiance in, though.

That wasn't the case with us.

Good luck!!!

How long did it take before they gave him his visa after the interview?

Thanks.

casa is hard to manuve thru, if the interview goes well and into the checks the times vary on actually getting the visa from (next day, weeks, months) just depending on the case. If you are there at interview just let her take in your passport to show you are actually outside (if needed) good luck

hi friend ,

i was reading this answer from you : emailed the consulate regarding this issue as well, and they told me that it's correct that the police reports go through Rabat.

i want ask you caus am confused, am going threough my interview in few days and i got my police record from the city where i live, so what police record from Rabat are you talking about ? do i need aniother one from Rabat too ?.I appreciate your help.thanks much.

No don't worry, what you did is right! Every local police station sends the request to Rabat, then Rabat issues the report and sends it back to the local station where you applied. The reason I emailed them was because my fiance has lived in many different cities in Morocco and I wanted to make sure he didn't need a record from each city. But since everything is centralized, and the report only comes from this centralized location, only one report is needed, no matter how many cities you have lived in.

It took him exactly two weeks, which is what they told him would probably happen at the interview. However, as others have pointed out, this can vary greatly depending on your situation. From people who have posted on this site, as well as people my fiance talked to at the consulate, it seems like most people are getting their visa between 1-4 weeks in Casa right now.

This site has information on the kinds of security checks they might do and how long they can take. http://greencardlawyers.com/answers_for/Vi...ritychecks.html

As for the Skype calls, here's the method we used to get a spreadsheet of all our Skype PC-to-PC calls. I checked the download link just now, and it still works. It takes some time, mostly just wait time while the program is compiling everything, and if you have four years worth of calls, it may take a couple hours to do that. But we ended up with a nice-looking spreadsheet...that the CO never looked at.
