Cr1 experience In Casablanca December 2011!!

[Mayarz 4]

Its the first time for me to writte in this forum since All I did before Is reading for hours...and I found some of the experiences helpful..

Im writting you today to share my experience in US consulate in casablanca..Dont know if it will help anyone since my case is a bit special but sharing is always good..

Im married to my americain husband for a year now..we met online and after 4 months he came over and we got married..He serves as an officer in US army..and we married from a first meeting as he was getting deployed to Iraq..Took me a while to convince my parents with our relation since its not very commun for an arabic girl to marry from the army..But love wins ?!!!

Anyway I had my interview few days ago...It was smooth and I Got Aproved..Even if i was very worried hearing how tough this consulate is..But apearantly they are not as I imagined..

At first I passed by a moroccan woman,who checked our paper work and asked for My court record...She checked Some of our pictures and asked if my husband is in the army..which I answered by yes...Our file had already a big aproved in it..so I was wondering if its the NVC aproval or they already aprove the cases before the interview..Then thats all,she asked me to wait till they call me again..

Then after 30 min, An americain young lady,,Very nice called me...The questions were pretty simple...How are you?? Then How did you and your husband met..which I answered with Facebook, and I gave her some details about how the chat started..Then she asked when the relation got romantic which I answered by Few months after that..she was friendly and nice !! She asked me Why we didnt have a big engagement party...My answer was that we have small family and my grandma was on stroke so she couldnt really handle noises..and her presence was important thats why we decided to have a small party at home, she asked if he converted and when, which I answered that he couldnt do it in iraq as he couldnt go out and he wanted to do it here with my parents and family;s presence and in a mosque !!!...she asked also when he first came and how many times we met : I answered that and that his waiting for me outside as he finished his deployement in september and came stay with me which makes it 4 months together..her last question was if I talked to his parents, I already had many chat logs with his parents, sister,cousins and Friends..and I answered by that..and Thats it !! she said Congrats, ur visa is granted and come back tuesday to pick it !! she didnt see any album or anything else...

Was that simple and Easy while I was really freaking out about it...Was worried about him being in the military and marrying the first time as Red flags..But Hamdulilah everything went smooth...

People tell the truth and Have faith in your marriage..God wont let you down,,for those who didnt Pass...I wish you Luck and Patience coz this journey isnt really easy on anyone..But it is worth it !!

Thank you so much for posting this, I have been so nervous for our interview scheduled for 1/24/12, and you made it sound as easy as it was for me to fall in love with my husband. Thanks again and CONGRATULATIONS!

Congrats on your approval and thank you for sharing. In Casablanca I have not seen too many women denied, I know it happens as I was preview to two cases during my visits to the consulate. You had two good things going for your case one your husband is an Army Officer and two you are a lady. I am sure not everyone will agree but it does make a big difference and lastly he is converting which is a plus. I too was an Army Officer during our journey and my husband had converted to Christianity so I completely agree it is not an easy process. Even with all things done right going through that consulate causes anxiety making sure we cross our Ts and dot our I.

Glad to hear you had a great experience it does happen in Casablanca glad to see they are still human..

God bless and Merry Christmas and if you ever have any Army wives questions feel free to ask.

Just dont Fret !!! I was all shaking when the moroccan woman was interviewing me But I tried to Hide it..and Even that I couldnt,,My stomach was making noises..It happens to me when I stress and I was all embarassed as people who were sitting next to me were staring at me..and I was like : Pleaaase stop , please stop !! Was Funny !!!

Thank you for your answer...Yes I was very worried...I know that there arent too many muslim girls married to US soldiars...People are Just not used to it..and somtimes they dont seem to Understand...But Im lucky I have a very supportive parents..Even thou they are religious,,But it didnt seem to be a problem for them..But only to some of our relatives..!

Anyway yes..Maybe him being in the army helped while I was seeing it as a Red flag,Plus (Marriage after 4 months knowing eochother and In THE first time..)I Expected a lot more questions than were asked..I made scenarios In my brains Every night and I stressed my Husband too..But its for no reason,

During my Interview,I saw other females Being aproved..as for the guys, They were interviewd in the other side so I couldnt honeslt hear what was going on..Most denials were for Tourist Visa..and I do feel sorry for guys here in the forums who got denied as I read many stories and It is sad to see some real couples suffering..

Thank you very much for your post..Being an army wife is not easy at all( I think the Co took that in consideration too )..especially in cases like mine..where I got married to my husband who had to go to iraq only 3 days after our marriage..and I had to worry all year and fret about him Staying alive and coming back to me...But finally I think it just made us stronger and more patient and tolerant with eochother.. !!
