Casablanca Interview Date Change.

[Jamie & Izzy 98]

A week or so ego we got Case Completed, yay for that!

But Yesterday after calling the NVC we found out that my Interview date was October 29th ... 68 days after case completed, it was like a slap in our faces, we just set there not talking in shock for like an hour, cause right before calling i did some research and it looks like for Morocco from CC to Interview date takes like 35-55 days, so it really looks like the NVC is giving interview dates out of order .

So i wanted to ask if anyone having had an interview in Morocco had any luck changing their dates? This might sound silly now but we had so many plans around that date Like making Halloween costumes together (Star Trek), and going on a Halloween party with friends, my birthday and so on ...i was naively expecting interview around early October after getting Case completed.

Please let me know if anyone had luck changing it, how and when you contacted the Embassy for a date change.

Thanks in Advance .

Sorry to hear that. It just goes to show you really can make no plans until you have the visa in hand. So many things can go wrong. Like just last week, my fiance received her interview date. And we were SO excited because it was for next Friday! Just nine days away! We couldn't believe it was going so fast! So she quickly called the medical exam hospital and scheduled her exam for yesterday. She had TB seven years ago but had all the papers and x-rays she needed to prove that it was totally taken care of and she no longer had it. Well, the doctor at the exam told her to come back today to get the results. And when she got there, she was informed that they could not give her the results yet. They said they have to test her for TB again... which would normally not be a problem. Except the test they want to give her takes TWO MONTHS to complete! So now instead of a possible late September arrival date, we'll be lucky to get her here by December!

So disappointing. But, it's disappointing because of what our expectations were. Same as you - you expected it within 35-55 days. But 68 days is just 13 days more (if you look at it optimistically)! Good luck and I'm sorry that happened to you... I really KNOW how it feels!

I am really sorry to hear that this process is real torture!

I Hope your fiance gets this sorted fast, I never had TB i got all vaccines needed but i am still very nervous, this is so nerve wrecking !

Well it is normal to make plans, we did not buy tickers or anything, originally when we filled we thought we would be done in 7-10 months ... well it took almost double that time .

I really wished i had just stayed in the US after marrying and just adjusted statues as our marriage was not planned in the Us, but i went back home and we filled 7 months after we got married cause our plan was to move to Vienna back then, and that did not work as my husband did not get the job in the end...so many what if i had done this or that. yeah 68 doesn't seem like a long time but it is after waiting almost 13 months

Good luck to you and your Fiance !

My case was compeleted last Tuesday August 26 and in August 29 Casablanca schedule interview for October 8. I hope no change will happen because my case took almost 18 months to complete

[Happytobe 164]

Same thing happened to us last year. Hang in there!

18 month ! that's just insane

Same thing happened to us last year. Hang in there!

Hmm :S but this is really out of order... do you think it is a good idea to do it? i mean contact the Embassy once they receive it and get it changed?

[Happytobe 164]

You never know, they might get someone who cancels or post-pones one.... You could let them know you're interested, but I dont think I've seen anything about that being done on here. Do a search and see if there's anything here on VJ at other embassies. That might give you an idea if it's doable. Good luck

Thanks, i have read about other embassies getting it done just not Morocco, i see what i can do, thanks again !

Does your case qualify for expedite criteria? Other than someone cancelling and you getting their spot, expedite is really the only way to get a faster date. Although waiting just a couple months isn't bad in my opinion. We waited 5 months for Cairo to schedule my husband's. It's tomorrow night and our case was complete in March. Total case time is 18 months so far.

We got our date changed, but actually we postponed the interview, so made it for a later date.
