Might have something to do with poverty levels. May not be as many guys looking to get out of Tunisia. Just a wild guess.

Economics tends to drive immigration even in the family class, even when no fraud at all is involved. That tends to drive immigration even in the family classes of visas.

But Morocco has also been a more popular tourist destination for Americans, too, so that's probably most of it.

or perhaps lack of internet along with it not being a popular tourist destination. i've been to tunisia, it's certainly nothing to write home about.

Yes she is a Philippine national living and working in UAE. And thanks! I am sure she will be fine, but this is going to be the longest 24 hours of this whole wait!

morocco is a beautiful country but there are not a lot of jobs! lots of college degrees with nothing to do with them (this is a problem in all me/na) can't blame them for wanting out.....but it would be nice to see people try to change their own countries instead of running from it. (wishful thinking)
