Not sure if you have seen this but here is the information on the Casablanca Consulate's website:

Does your wife have a Moroccan residency permit? According to the link she will need to provide one in order to qualify for DCF

just provide proof she has resided there for 6 months.....lease agreement, utility bills, bank statements, etc. Yes, if she has no income from the US when she files her affidavit, she will need a co-sponsor. The co-sponsor can be a family member residing in the US. They must have adequate income that is 125% above the poverty guidelines. The amount they must make should be the number that corresponds to their household number, plus the immigrant, i.e. if your co-sponsor has a household size of 2, then their income must be 125% of the poverty level for 3 people.

It's not as simple as that. If you read the link I posted above it clearly states that in order to qualify for DCF the US citizen "must provide a valid Moroccan residency permit issued by the Moroccan authorities. A valid Moroccan Resident Card is the only document considered proof of residency in Morocco."

As she is the petitioner of your visa she has to be the main sponsor and complete an I-864 form regardless of whether she has an income or not. Since she has no income you can consider one of two things:

1. If you have enough assets (I think the requirement is 5 x 125% poverty limit) she can use those to meet the requirement.

2. Otherwise you will need to find a joint sponsor whose assets/income can. The joint sponsor must be a US citizen or legal permanent resident.

I understand what you posted, and I have experience with this exact situation. I am in Denmark, and the website, as well as written documentation from the embassy in Denmark says the same thing. HOWEVER, if you have applied but not yet received your permit, they will look at what documentation you have to prove you have continously resided here. I applied for my residency permit in December, I am still waiting, yet the American Embassy in Denmark stated I was eligible April 28th to file DCF based on the exact documentation I mentioned above. I gave them a copy of my lease agreement, utility bills, and airline ticket showing my arrival date, and they began calculating the 6 months from the date I arrived in Denmark and began "residing" here.

Many other people have reported the same thing from other embassies as well.

If you have any assets you can use that for affidavit of support.

Your wife fills ONE I-864

the cosponsor fills ANOTHER I-864.

The I-864A is only if your cosponsor will use the income of household members to qualify.
