Fiances packet 3 not received...lost in mail maybe...

[MouadsWife 161]

My fiances packet 3 was never received. Embassy in Casablanca said they mailed it to him on September 25th. After I emailed the embassy to find out the mailed date, they stated that if he did not receive the packet he would have to come to the embassy in Casablanca to pick it up there. They did not give a specific address or location to pick it up at, and did not state what papers would be required to pick up the packet. Does anyone know how this works? Would he have to take a copy of the approved petition with him in order to pick up his papers? And the place that he would go to pick this up at would it be the same place his interview will be held at? I realise I can probably email them again and ask these questions, but did not want to bombard them with more questions, and thought it would be easier to get a reply here. Thanks for your help!

Hey there! To be honest, I would give it another week. Sometimes the mail in Morocco is slow, sometimes fast....even more so depending on where he lives. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking he would get it sooner than later because he only lives 1.5 hours from there. But I will give it until mid next week and see what happens. I hope he gets it soon. I assume you cant just want up to the embassy and say "hey give me some papers".... they must need something.

I would think he needs something too. From what I understand, unless you're a USC you have to have something that allows you to go into the embassy. Maybe they will put him on a list at the door or something.

Just FYI, my fiance hasn't gotten his packet either, and we interview a few days before you. I haven't checked yet, but that's my plan for next week too.

Well , if he deosnt live away from Casablanca that s tooo long for the mail to come , if i was in his shoes i will send them an email explain to them the situation and what i should do , and i will ask them if they want me to come over there what will be the right time/day for that ! coz that way they will put his name on the List and he will ne able to get his packet .. people that working there are nice and they are so understanding , just take a try and dont worry ,

good luck

I believe you are talking about the Consulate's office in Casa, not the Embassy. I know for us, all paperwork was handled out of the Consulate's office. The Embassy is in Rabat.

You cannot walk up to either location without specific paperwork stating that you have reason to be there. I know for Casa, you have to wait in a queue line with a guard who will look at your paperwork before you can even approach the outside window. Casa has definitely become more of a fortress after the bombing in '07.

Casa is fairly responsive to emails. I emailed them several times over the two-three year period we were dealing with them.

You need to email them and get a specific address for picking up the packet. Have him print out the email as confirmation and take it with him.
