Mary, That's awesome news. It sounds like your senator's office pulled the right strings and got the action you needed. I'm thinking somebody might be coming home with their man in tow!

Is it possible that all the fuss that's been being raised about the Moroccan consulate has caused enough heat over there to start to scare somebody?

I sure hope so!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Mary!

I know! I think the interviews need to be done by first come first serve. Not just whoever they feel like pulling out the pile this month!

jenn,

I have to agree with you. but, let me post this question. do you feel the same way if you got

an interview date it was say 3 months OUT. wouldnt you think its ok or not

for the embassy to make your interview date closer? example what if you got an interview date

for AUG. do you think its fair? of course not. do you think the embassy should step up the date

because you said so? I think that would be more fair - do you agree? I think thats why

the embassy has the option of pulling this and that case. I think ALL of you should havine your

congressman and sentators bust their tail for YOU!

No pisses me off they can just pull out who ever they want not even go on application or case complete date. I have a friend their case was complete about three weeks before me had a February 7th interview. My senator is lazy wont do anything unless i call her. She wont reply to me emails the only way I get her to do anything is if I actually have to call her then she is willing to do something. So its annoying no one cares then I heard that I was annoyed! The senator didnt even know anything tried to tell me the National Visa Center schedules interviews for K1 and K3. I know im just person going through their little game to get a thing in my husbands passport but I know more then she does apprently.

Im not sure I can take to wait to see my husband I want to be at the interview! But my stupid job has all these critical days this summer and if I dare miss one they can fire me over it! And I can probably get time off and he has time off next month. So i guess Ill have to see.

I can take this wait just to see my husband again! Makes me wish i would just of stayed my first time I was there almost three months probably could of did the direct consular file thing and got him here faster!

im just annoyed my case has been done for two months and not even been touched since. The case is still sitting there. Just collecting dust! I thought u had a interview date already?

Jennie,

To answer you question, I had heard from my lawyer that the Casablanca, Morocco Consulate is one of the smaller consulates. And the same staff that handles K1 and K3 Visa's also handles all the other Visa's throughout the week and they only typically handles ours once a week. I also heard through my husband from people in the consulate and what he's seen personally when he is at the Consulate, they are working on the Lottery visa. On Feb 21st he said it appeared to be full of lottery appointments and on Feb 28th the day of his interview he said he was the only interview like his, and there was like 30 lottery visas. He said only 3 of the 30 got approved, and he had to sit through this experience of seeing all these other upset people when they finally took him last that day. Luckily his interview went well. One more thing I am pissed at his on the lottery visas most of the people being denied are because they don't have the bachalor degree. I guess this is a new requirement from what my husband said. But why didn't they make this clear to these lottery visa applicants and why did they send them a letter saying they have wrong the lottery visa to take their money ($700) my husband said to only deny them. Sounds like they know they are going to deny them and are taking their money and they are only slowing down our interviews. Is this a way Morocco is trying to get their budget???????????????????

My husband talked to a couple of the guys that worked at the consulate and earlier he talked to two contacts through people he knewl They checked on his case in the consulate and got back to him a few months ago, i f this tells you who my husband has been talking to.

All I know is Morocco seems to have their priorities messed up and it isn't just with K1 and K3 Visa's. They should handle these first come, first serve and not lie.

My other complaint about Morocco is everyone is trained to tell you as little as possible. This is for anyone getting denied to even the ones getting the Visa and they have to wait first for the security check, or when they are called to drop off their passport. I guess they went through "me can't tell you anything training".

Sorry I guess I am venting when I just meant to answer your question where I heard about the lottery visas and why slow.

Maryandatif.... wow what a turnaround.... really this sounds so promising !!

Insha'allah all these returned cases have raised BIG questions about what's going on in Morocco... and insha'allah they will clean up their act.

Hoping and praying for you, Maryandatif.... and for everyone who has had their cases returned or is dealing with this craziness out of Morocco. I want big Visa Victories for all of you !!

That is real crappy if they changed requirements and are still taking all that money from people. I think the whole lottery thing is horrible. Yeah...if you give us enough money we'll consider you...for like a minute.

Wow you found out alot!! I heard it might be because of the diversity lottery people! I wounder if they are still behind? I know 3 out of 30 people getting approved isnt right but they have a point if you have a higher degree of education when you come here you can find a job much easier usually. But still I see your point and its alot of money to anyone to lose.

I was so pissed today when my senator told me they just pull any people from the Morocco waiting list for a interview every month. They dont care how long you have waited or anything just anyone! I think Morocco has their head up their something!

I want to go and see my husband but I so want to be at his interview! But if we get a summer interview I cant go they will fire over it! And he has time off in April so it would work out fine!! Im annoyed and miss my husband so much! What type of visa did your husband have a interview for before?

ohiobuck you made me feel a little bit better reading that! Now I think we might have half a chance to get a date. Wish I could go now and later but I cant!! I just cant wait to see him again!

[kerewin21 2]

I just got an E-mail from Atif............the consualte called him and told him to be there tomorrow at 9am and to bring his passport.......What's this about I wonder????

Mary K.

I'm praying for you that this is some kind of good news and that they just typed the wrong thing on the paper they gave you. Let us know as soon as you know something!

ISL embassy does things diffrently. they actully dont give interview a second time.

they typically call you in and issue the visa. we orginally interview back Aug 26,2005 for my husband

and I interview for his CR1 Sep 23,3005. so at this point they just need to issue. we are off AR.

according to the CO I talked to we just need to submit the packet 3.5 and we have all the documents

except hubby is gonna submit another police report. thats all we need.

[honeyblonde 0]

I think there is a little confusion about the requirement for the lottery visa. The requirement is a high school diploma, which in Morocco is called the Baccalaureate. Here that is a Bachelor's degree, so unless you've had it explained to you, it is natural to assume it is a college education. It took quite a while for Abdel to make me understand that.

This is not a new requirement there, or one that isn't published with the application. It was right there on the website where you had to go to apply. If people were stupid enough to waste their money to apply, knowing they didn't meet that requirement, then that is stupid people wasting the consulate's time, not the consulate wasting people's money.

I just got an E-mail from Atif............the consualte called him and told him to be there tomorrow at 9am and to bring his passport.......What's this about I wonder????

Also Talked to Senator Dole's office....he got 1 response that the 221g was for AR...but that wasn't what was typed on that letter....her office has also been in contact with the NVC 2 times regarding it too.......will have to wait until tomorrow to see what really will happen.
