Embassy Interview Scheduling in Casablanca, Morocco

[blessedblessed 1]

hello, all!

(hopefully i've posted this in the proper forum--if not, i apologize!)

our 5-month standard K1 wait will be official on January 30th, so we are hoping to hear something within the next couple of weeks.

that being said, i am interested in hearing from those of you who have interviewed at the Embassy in Casablanca, Morocco.

how far in advance was your interview? what was the amount of time between your NOA2 and interview??

also, i'd be sooooo interested in hearing any updated/last minute/random thoughts about experiences in this embassy!

who else is still waiting for their NOA2 with a SO in Morocco?

looking forward to hearing from you all.

Hi Jessica,

First of all Congrats on the NA02! Second to answer your question, when my husband had his K1 interview this past year, it took almost 2 months between the NA02 and the interview date...and trust me you will need all of that time to prepare! I highly suggest checking out the "Hoping Not to be Denied in Casablanca" thread in Mena. It is a big thread, but it contains some great advice for keeping it together through the interview process.

Good luck!

Our interview was about one month from the time the consulate received it. I also suggest you read the "Hoping Not to be Denied in Casablanca" thread. Casablanca is one of the most difficult consulates in the world, especially for K1 visas. You should prepare yourself. Good luck.

Hi Jessica,

Congratulations on your interview. I know how excited you are since my husband just had his interview on Jan 3. However, he was denied a visa on the basis of our marriage being "for papers and not real" which is absolutely untrue. Obviously, we are very saddened by this. We've known each other since 2005 with documentation and I've been to Morocco twice to see him. We were married there. Our red flag is the age difference. I would suggest anyone who has difficulties with the Casablanca consulate to go to wafin.com. It is an online support newspaper and they are interested in hearing from other people who were denied from legitimate marriages. I've contacted my Senator and gave him all the details concerning the unprofessionalism and abuse of my husband and he's doing an indepth investigation into the consulate.

From what I understand, when a Senator gets involved in a case, it's a big deal to the consulate. I am packing my things now and preparing for a move there and hoping to

straighten out this mess from there. If the riots in Tunis spill over into Morocco, I may have to rethink my plan but for now I am on "go". I wish you the best of luck with the

interview. If you have no red flags then you'll probably sail right through it. Please be sure to get us abreast of your situation.
