My husband has gone through Madrid, London and Paris and never had any problems. I think it just depends - not to mention these "horror" stories they all tell are usually 3rd hand rubbish....

I know that for Spain they need a transit visa - even for the airport, and that's something I"m working on. So that's why I'm wondering if there are any problems, or is it just if the person doesn't have a transit visa (remember, my fiance doesnt have a green card, just a K-1 visa so far)......

My friend's experience was last summer, July 2007, when she (an American citizen) and her husband (Moroccan) had a long layover in the Madrid airport with their 9-month-old daughter in tow. There may have been a transit visa that he supposedly needed, but they weren't even leaving the airport, just changing terminals. Her words to describe the experience with the authorities and airport personnel were exactly this:

"we had a layover in spain, which sucked. you were right about spanish and their treatment of moroccans. i felt like we were treated like animals; seriously."

She feels like if she hadn't been with him, he wouldn't have even made it through to Morocco. When her husband came to the U.S. on the K1 in 2006, he came through Frankfurt and on to Houston with no problems. Like Nagishkaw said, safely and with minimal hassle should outweigh cost. This is a big transition, and you want to make it as smooth as humanly possible.

Whatever you do, good luck.

brni - not to say it NEVER happens in most of the cases where i've heard/seen it's been passed throuh the telephone, story changed, hyped up and made worse than the actual story. not just in this case but with many stories of how they've been treated, things that have happened etc. Obviously if you don't follow the rules and get the visa you need to leave or whatever your SOL. Just like embassy CO's ppl in the airports are doing their job, and that may mean that some innocent ppl get treated unfairly because of other people's actions. I'm sure Central American people transiting through Houston/Dallas/Miami run into similarly suspicious airport officials.

Again I think this is an exception not the norm.

try to use Moroccan air lines they are the best and very understanding. but when you get to JFK try not to use Delta they always have delayes (hours).

you will probably pay an extra $200 with Moroccan Air lines But it will save you a lot off time and Headech.
