I didn't get the chance to read all of this thread, but something I saw made me wonder - is it possible for those whose marriages have lasted to contact someone to let them know there ARE successes? I'll never forget the ###### he (we) went through when he first got here (PHL) - all the grilling, and then the lady called me into the office to tell me that she 'hoped' I wouldn't go there in two years crying about how he left me. That was in addition to telling me that I didn't have to marry him - I could send him home without getting into trouble, but if I 'had' to marry him, to wait until the last minute to have time to change my mind. How Moroccan men were notorious for finding "women like us" (older, overweight, unattractive, but with some money - yes, she really said that. I'd like to see ANYONE look good after spending two days in the airport, waiting for a flight, by the way), marrying them, getting them pregnant, beating them up, taking their money, and then running off. I'm not saying we've had the longest marriage or anything, but we're almost at 3-1/2 years, things are even better than before, and he's had his 10 year card for a while now. And with all the outside-of-the-relationship problems we're having (my ex, financial issues, things I don't want to post online, etc), most people we know are amazed that he's staying with me through it all. They all agree "he must REALLY love you". Ok - I'm impressed too - I know he loves me, but ....GEEZ .... (I'm really happy about it, though!)

Anyway, I wish all of you the best of luck. And if anyone really does know a way to let them know over there that there are successful, non-fraud marriages (since it sounds like they don't think there are) between American women and Moroccan men - please let us know! We'd love to help out.

I imagine that you can call and tell them during their one hour phone opening everyday....or send them an e-mail. And actually....maybe if they do hear a success story every now and then....maybe it would make them feel better about granting one or two of our loved ones visas. I have to say their denial rate definietly is an indicator they haven't heard anything positive in a while. I'm just sayin...

I'm a day late and probably a dollar short on this aspect of the discussion, but thought I'd throw my two cents in here anyway. I've seen a lot of couples go through Casablanca. And to be honest I've

Hi Everyone, I know if my husband reads this he will get mad. He really tries to discourage me from posting on VJ for reasons of this very topic. He feels that most of the couples on here (most, not

First and foremost, I'm not here to denigrate anyone and telling it like it has always been my style on VJ. Just sayin'. The sad part of immigration-based relationships is perception. Everyone from

I 100% agree...they need to hear some good news over there...maybe we should start a topic for Moroccan success stories & then send the link to the embassy :) Any little thing might help.
