denied at casablanca

You rock charles!

Not that I thought they could do much anyways, but my senators were useless....Regardless of what I asked them to do, because the consulate said our case has left for the US, they won't do anymore inquires....I guess I don't blame them, I mean, what else can they do if the consulate says our file left already. Oh well I am just really disappointed my husband won't be with me when my baby sister gets married in a couple of weeks. Everybody was hoping he would be here for that

They refused all inquiries? Even when it reaches the USCIS?

I don't think so, one senators office told me she is closing our case, because they can't do anything anymore! I think that lady who works for the senators office is a dummy. The senator I had working our case last year was great, but he retired in december! My other senator is out of the office until thursday

But, when I called that other senator on friday to tell her I got a response from the consulate, she made another inquiry to see when the file actually left. I think I want her to follow my case until the end, because the other lady is a moron. My old senator, who retired, did follow up inquires on our case last year without us even asking them to.

i am so sorry.. this scares me now.. i have only visited him once in casablanca.. i have filed a I-129f.. don u feel mine will be approved??

[kristen_maroc 126]

Jamie... nobody knows. What we do know are that there are red flags: indicators of things that might set off the consular officers' radar and make it more likely. Ultimately, there is no real way to PREDICT.

For example:

- How did you meet? Online is sometimes but not always a red flag.

- Are you the same religion?

- How much time have you spent together in person?

- How good is his English? Do you have a common language?

- Is there an age difference? If the woman is a lot older than the man in the couple, that is a red flag.

- Has he applied for a visa before?

- Have you been married before? Do you have kids?

- Is there a large difference in body type between the two of you?

I think most couples have at least a few of these... but this is the kind of thing that officers look for.

Ultimately, the best thing is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst: are you able to go and visit again before his K1 interview? If so, that can be VERY helpful. If your K1 is denied (lla y str!), are you willing and able to go to Morocco, get married, and file for a spousal visa?

Good luck.

I've been following this thread for awhile and there must be something that is causing this. As was mentioned a lot of times consulars have access to more information than you do. I would suggest combing through your case and seeing where any inconsistencies may be. I would also make sure to ask your husband a lot of tough questions. While you have been to visit multiple times there may still be things going on that you don't know about. There also may not be. However consulars don't deny twice for no reason. They do know something is up. Maybe it was something in his past? If you at least know what it is you can move forward and fight it.

I asked him tough questions after both denials. In the end, there is nothing that we can think of that would cause this. The only thing I think is, we really rushed into the "I love you's." We have been together almost three years now, so thank God our leap of faith is working out, but sometimes, I go and read some of our first emails, and have to laugh. We were two love struck crazies, and we included those emails, every single one of them, plus hundreds of pages of chat in our initial K1. I think we provided way too much info, and it probably does indeed look suspicious because we went in fast and heavy. That is why I understood the K1 denial. We thought it was good for us, because it forced us to wait, and get to know each other better.

At this point, even if there is a straight out denial, he will always be my husband. We have spoken a little about what our plans will be if he can not come here, and those plans include living the summers there, and visiting whenever I can. I guess the point is, it sucks to be apart, but what we have in each other is what makes us happy. Nothing can take that away. I have put in a service request today to the USCIS because they said I could after our petition had been there for 120 days. Either way, we have faith, and we continue to grow as a couple.

Wow. I just don't know how you do it. I think I might completely fall apart at the seams if my second one is denied. And it is so hard on the relationship too all the stress of everything. I wish you the best and hope for the best with you.

I'm a little embarrassed because I don't mean to come across as it always being perfect, because of course it isn't. But this is how we feel. I have a pretty busy life, and a 6 year old, so it helps the days go by fast. Hubby and I talk everyday, but it gets annoying sometimes having a relationship with our phone/computer LOL We just both agree that what we have is more than what we would ever find in anyone else. And besides, we feel this process just keeps making us stronger. Sometimes even we can't believe how we do it, or what we have already been through. Really, it amazes us too! I am praying for you guys also. I was just telling my hubby the other day about your case. I told him "we have it bad, but look at this, they still don't have their noa2..." We just always have to remember, things could be worse...even for you, because you will get your noa2...YOU WILL. Follow your heart, and have faith. I truly feel for you guys too, and you are never far from my thoughts. 4evermine is someone I think about often as well. I can't wait for the day we can all be telling the newbies about our harrowing journeys, but how we finally made it through

I am certainly hoping that time comes. You and I both started this about the same time and here we both are waiting for USCIS to make a decision again almost like it's right back at square one, it seems. I am hoping this last time goes quicker for us both and we both get through. I appreciate your kind words and your prayers. My husband is aware of your case as well. I do believe it helps to know we are not the only ones that have waited so long.

I have heard so many people say that actually getting the visa and getting the spouse or fiancee here is the easy part of the journey and that it gets harder once they are here and dependent on you for every little thing and making all those hard adjustments to a new life. That has not been the case for those second filers among us. I would trade the frustrations of adjustment for all this waiting and wondering anyday. After of this, I don't think anything will ever come between us again.

I'm so sorry to read your visa journey resulting in 2 denials and all of the time that you both have been apart. I see that cases are treated harsher in the middle east. I understand the cultural differences and the political climate but love happens and it doesn't matter who, what, when, or where. It's a shame that one person holds our future with our loved ones in their hands. I wish you and your husband the best of luck and hope that you two will be together soon....inchallah.

Please know, that the consular officers don't deny a visa on some willy-nilly bs. They deny based on the belief that there is fraudulent behavior by one or both parties. They might have some type of evidence in their files that demonstrates this. And yes, it its sad that people who are in love feel persecuted for whom they love, but these COs see so much fraud everyday that they'd rather err on the side of caution than to give the benefit of the doubt.

Sorry to hear about your denial ... but enjoy your time together when you go back

I was just there during Ramadan ... had a good time with my hubby and family
