Casablanca, You made a big mistake! :'( (merged)

We are devastated.

Letter to my Senator, I will share with you all:

May 9th, 2914

To The Office Of Senator Tim Kaine,

This letter is in regards to the request for Immigration Congressional Inquiry.

My Fiance Hicham El Amri was denied a K-1 Visa at the Consulate in Casablanca Morocco. This decision is detrimental to our family, as we have been together for over 4 years, with 4 visits, including the last visit with my daughters Cheyenne and Rhiannon. Our wish was to marry during this trip with my daughters to be a part of it. Due to the inefficiency of the Moroccan government in obtaining all the necessary papers for this, we were unable to get married in Morocco. I requested that he be granted a K-1 Visa so that we could marry here in the United States in a much more efficient way that would not require me to take another 3-4 week trip which is a time-frame required to make a marriage happen in Morocco. I do not want to do this without my children being there. We are a family, and instead of using the internet as a way to communicate with Hicham, he should be by our side. I request that the petition stay in the consulate in Morocco and that Hicham be given a 2nd interview, or I be contacted for an interview. I provided more evidence than required to prove that we have a bona fide relationship, as well as all of the required documents and The USCIS has determined that we are eligible for this visa. I appreciate the work of the work of the USCIS and all those at the Consulate who handled our case but I do believe this decision made by the Consular Officer in Casablanca, was made in error, as it is a huge let down by my government to be sent on the path of a much longer wait to be together as a family, as well as the financial strain and time away from my children, work and my schooling, to marry in Morocco instead. When Hicham was denied his visa he was given no reason for denial or even acknowledged with courtesy when he greeted, and departed from the consular officer. I have also not been informed of the reason for denial, and I am requesting to have access to this information as well. I appreciate all the time and efforts given to me by the Senator’s office and all of those who take the time to acknowledge this inquiry.

Wow! I'm so sorry and so shocked! I don't know what else to say.... Best of luck in your journeys to come.

Morocco is a well-known hard Embassy for K-1s...It seems to be easier for CR-1 visas. Go to the regional forum for better, precise information. Sri to all but this is a typical determination.

OP, I hope you didn't use that date in your letter.

Why would they deny his visa since the relationship is bona fide. I dont understand it.

This is something we would like to know as well.

He would have been given a reason and you will be contacted eventually.

You know the OP and her fiancee?

[christeen 966]

Was he given a piece of paper (221)? What was the reason given?

It is so sad :'( We are so very much in love and so happy together, my children adore him and are devastated that he is not coming like we thought. My daughter Cheyenne broke down in tears and keeps asking me to do things like take videos of her soccer game so that her Chikin Nugget ( his nickname for her) can see her play when she starts on the new team in Middle School next year. It hurts so much already and then to see my baby so upset too... ugh... Of course we will not give up and I thought that this would be clear to the CO. In fact it was clear to the CO, so WHY make us go through all the steps of marrying there with all the time and money required, when it would be so much better for us as a family to just let him come marry me here at this point.

OUCH. :'(

Hi Sara,

They did the same thing to me, they actually denied my K1 two times no explanation just a 221G letter, but the third time, i was not questioned at the interview and i was given again 221G but three days later they called me and ask me to bring my passport and i did next day i had my visa in hand. just be patient, and we contacted the senator congress... and they couldn't do anything, because Casablanca embassy kept the file and they did not send it on time, we they finaly send it , it was too late and expired so USCIS requested to file again. So we file three times. last time took only two months, between approval notice and interview data.

and we never knew what the cause of denial, technically it was a denied visa, but not giving visa, that's what the 221G stating we couldn't deny or give you a visa.

Sometimes i have to wonder if they randomly do this ####### to make money
