K1 visa possible redflags

[Ril 0]

Hi

I'm sorry to bother you but at this time I really need some assistance

I was wondering if some of you who have dealt with the K1 visa before could help me figure out if there are any red flags or anything i haven't considered

I would be very grateful if you could grant me a moment of your time and assist me through this

Rila

So here's my story :

I'm the beneficiary and I'm from Morocco. My fiancé ( the petitioner) and I met when I was doing my master's in the US ( 2012/2013). We have been together for one year and he popped the question one month before I came back to Morocco. We have been together in the US during a whole year spending most our time together. I used to study abroad for years and my family has enough means to support me. My fiancé is still a student but his mom who meets financial requirements is willing to be a cosponsor. He's one year younger than me.

Could you please tell me if you can see any red flags or anything that we should consider for our application.
I may be overthinking all this, but well I really need to be with him again and start a life together !

I really appreciate any advice or comment any of you guys may have

Thank you in advance

Everything looks normal to me. However, some consulates do not accept co-sponsors, so just be sure Morocco is not one of these. I have no idea if it is.

Salaam Ril,

I've been seeing your posts for a while now and finally I had some time to check on this issue for you.

I don't see any red flags in your case and about the co-sponsor. In Algeria, the foreign man seeking to marry an Algerian woman would typically have some problems at the interview stage if he was of a different religion due to cultural and familial concerns. I'm not sure if this is the same in Morocco! Anyhow, as long as your family is on board, you're good to go!

I checked the Morocco portal and found a K-1 case with a co-sponsor, which was approved.

Review Topic: K1 Visa

My fiance's visa was approved on Monday. Our overall experience was fantastic, thanks mostly to following the good advice of this site. Everything's here, every question's been asked and answered and that's really incredible. So thanks to all the people who've helped us!

My review will sound a lot like the previous posters - it was a very positive experience and almost directly mirrored what's already been posted this week and last. The only big differences are that we live together in Morocco and our co-sponsor qualified on assets (more on that below). I have to say, I called the consulate a few times and the guy who works in the Immigrant Visa office was so incredibly nice and helpful. In fact, he even asked about me when my fiance arrived at the Consulate.

Our interview was at 3pm. I didn't even try to go in with my fiance because they told me on the phone I wouldn't be allowed. So, I gave him my passport with instructions to flash it around and waited in the cafe across the street with our bags. He went over at about 2:45. I gather they'd already let the other fellows into the consulate, because he was the last in line.

First step was to hand over the important papers to the lovely Moroccan gentleman. He checks everything and tells you if there are any problems. My fiance also stressed the importance of correctly filled-out and organized papers. I gave him too much, including too many years of tax history for myself and my parents. They just wanted the last year. I was stressed about this because of old reviews and I guess this illustrates the need for continual updates and reviews on our portal.

Anyway.....

The CO talked to my fiance for a few minutes (he says somewhere between 5-15 minutes). He said she asked him different questions than the other guys, which he thought was mostly due to our living together.

She asked him:
How long have you known your fiance?
Where did you meet?
Have you ever lived together?
Have you been travelling together outside of Morocco?
Have you met her parents?

And then she asked some questions about the financial papers and our co-sponsors. Because I live in Morocco and have lived here for a while, I couldn't sponsor him myself. Our co-sponsors qualify easily on assets and she seemed a little surprised by that. My fiance explained that she said something like, it should be fine. Then she gave him a paper about what to do if he has problems in the US and a pink ticket and told him to come back in a few days.

My fiance's advice: Make sure you have the correct papers and know your fiance well. Then the interview's no big deal.

I do want to point out that she never said he was approved directly. I called today to confirm when he should go to get his passport and was told on the phone that he was approved. I probably won't stop worrying until the visa is in the passport! I'll update this review if anything changes.

No problem!

Good luck with the process!

You're good for the co-sponsor...I think Manila in the PI is one of the few that don't. Most MENA countries do but I was told make sure the other sponsor makes above 125% and not just barely topping it.
