DCF in Morocco??

[Always+Forever 7]

I've filed for the K1 visa, but I'm just researching just in case of denial, since there seems to be a wave of them lately. I will be living in morocco for 6 months, and will be able to get residency to do the DCF. Is there anyone who has done the DCF? What are your experiences? Time from, etc?? I'm better be safe then sorry & want to be sure to have what I'll need before I go just in case we get denied & have to get married in Morocco And hope everybody is having a successful journey.

I asked a question similar to this and got a lot of good responses.. I think if you're worried about it, you should bring with you all the documents that you would need to marry in Morocco, just in case- the information is here:

I'm not sure how recent the police record would have to be, if you're there longer than six months, you may have to send away for a new one.. Maybe someone who knows could help you with it. You would have to plan on being there for longer than six months in the long run, because you have to be a Moroccan resident for a minimum of six months before you become eligible for DCF. I don't know if this is possible, with your job. I hope it won't even be necessary for you!

Oh...so u have to be a resident for 6 months...and u can't get residency till after being there for 6 months right? And yeah...i'm hoping not to need to have to do it, but figure if i know it & have the stuff i won't need to, but if i don't then i will need it

Actually, since you're going to be staying in Morocco for longer than the 90 day visa waiver limit, you will be required to file for an extension of stay at the police station closest to Hicham's house within 15 days of arriving anyway. You can apply for a residency card then... A caveat: you have to hold that residency for a minimum 6 months before you become eligible to file DCF. You will have to be there probably 8 or 9 months minimum for DCF- add the time it takes to get permission to marry, and then after filing DCF, there is still a waiting period, albeit shorter than filing through USCIS- and I believe you must remain in Morocco during that period. I wasn't sure if you'd be able to stay any longer than the original six months you planned for.. If you can stay another few months, it might be a good option for you if (God forbid it) you are denied a K1. Just bring all the items listed on the consulate's website as a back up..

I think that you should go with the K-1 and wait it out here first. Don't put your cart in front of your horse. Maybe you will sail through quickly without any problems.

You could always consider DCF if problems arise with the K-1.
