Tourism Visa from Morocco

[Dave F 0]

Hello everybody!

I am 19 years old, and am completing a college internship at Disney (long story) Anyways, I met many fabulous people. One of my co-workers is from Morocco, and we became really good friends. We go watch movies, and she cooks for me and my co-workers all the time. Anywaaays, I was ignorant about the whole Visa into America thing, because I have personally traveled into other countries with just a passport and thought it was the same for everyone in the whole world. Sometimes when I'd come over she'd be skyping her family and we'd all say hello, blah blah blah and it was all good. Other times she'd be skyping with her cousin, whos the same age as me! During one of these sessions, she went to take a phone call and me and her cousin just started talking, and we hit it off instantly. That was about 6 months ago, and we've kept in constant contact, skyping eachother and emailing. She even sent me something for my birthday! I've always wanted a friend from another country and it's like having a really cool penpal or something.

So anyways, me and her are pretty close, and I want her to come visit me when I go back home to Hawaii! We're strictly friends, she's engaged and everything, but she's never been out of her country and I want her to see mines! I've researched it a little, but it seems to be very hard for people from that country to get a tourism visa to visit here. Her cousin is here because she won some type of lottery or something (i don;t really understand the concept) So knowing the background story, do you think it'd be very difficult for a Visa to get approved for her? Should i just travel there?

Thanks for your time!

Yes, it will be difficult. But not impossible

Simply being young and from Morocco makes it difficult

She needs to apply on her own and present her own ties

Good luck

Why does she not apply and find out?

There is always a chance but as has been said, a young, single woman from Morocco won't have an easy time, especially without strong ties to her home country. What does she do over there? Does she have a good job that she'll need to return to after her vaccation? Enrolled in university? When does she plan on getting married- if it is soon, getting a tourist visa after would be a bit easier, as she will have a husband to return to.

Worth a try for a tourist visa, it is not that expensive if she can afford it. You going over there is easier though.
