any CASA updates?

[mybackpages 0]

i emailed last week, no response.

I'm not suprised. I worry for Mona's fiance to have to travel all this way to Casa. The embassy in Rabat is likely to say tothings- if they respond that is- 1) they cant comment on the reopening and 2) this type of inquirey is not handled by thier office. BUT Maybe if the email was worded carefully to request what to do regarding traveling to Casa for an interview date, they might be helpful. (I know BIG MAYBE).

Where is the e-mail for Rabat? I looked for at DOS and didn't see it. I called DOS yesterday and that was pointless. I am more than willing to send an e-mail asking for guidance. I'm still thinking they will open in time for our interviews. I just can't let that go. Not yet at least. But I am a bit worried about it.

this is the embassy address. I would CC the consualte in Casa too. Remember the embassy does not handle public services, so try to word your email in such a way that they can either answer your question or direct you to someone that can.

So today I learned that there is life at the consulate. I didn't get any sort of answer about reopening, which I didn't expect. But now my question is, "Is this a good sign that they are there working?" Or is this within their norm?

you know my fiance he went to his interview on tues and they saw him asked him what he was doing he said he was waiting for the consulate to open the guy told him it will not if he needed to contact them he told them to email them or call them he said that he did but they wouldnt open so he told me to call them i did this morning i waited patiently on the phone for 15 mins and finally got a guy he told me that he would call him or send him an email. i didnt have an attitude but he could tell i was a bt angry. so he did say they would try and contact him as soon as they open as well as try and ind another date for him to go. inchallah i hope its not too long

what a bunch of pansies. my poor sweetheart last day had his interview and had vigirous training from me answering every question right and properly and fast. i got a call this morning at 4h45 am (i went to bed at 3 bc i couldnt sleep i knew something was going to happen good or bad) he called me and said baby the embassy is closed today. i shot up in bed said a few chosen words and tried to calm down both of us. i started to cry (so much for calming down) then crying turned to sobbing and boogers shooting out of my nose. we talked for a little we were told to email them he did for me and it came back the same ####### as always we are unavailable bc the embassy is closed blah blah blah i am sorry the bombings were almost 3 weeks ago ( i think) and they are still closed. talk about lazy i understand but we were beyond ready he had everything set but now we have waisted a whole day and a very tired sweetie and i went into work so tired. it sucks working with the public trying to fix their equipment when i had a horrible call from my sweetie. well that is all said and done i am going to buy a phone card to call casa and get them a hello they never thought would happen.

ladies and gents if your finace is from morocco call before you think they have their interview dont email call. the email is lame and tells you nothing dial the number its on the embassy info you find morocco if you use a prepaid phone card its like a dollar a min(rediculous) but anyhting for my man. so call them before they have their interview if they have one within the next 2 weeks . I AM SERIOUS and keep calling until you get someone it took my 15 misn to get to someone but it was worth it.

love natalie

Has anyone heard any news today? The embassy is closed on fridays anyway right? do they re open saturday or sunday? maybe after the "weekend" they will reopen. I am praying for you ladies especially Patiently and Jen. Inshaallah soon - I will keep praying. If I can help in anyway please let me know.

Actually, my sister in islam's husband is from Casa, he has family there. If necessary I can ask him to have his brother go check it out so just let me know. ((( hugs ))) and hang in there!

Hey everyone! I just called the DOS and was told that the consulate has been sending oout letters to those who missed appointments and those who have appointments informing them of a new inteerview date and a location for that date. I have e-mail Casa to see if my SO's date or location has been changed. I will let you know what I hear back. At least we know now that they are doing something.

My e-mail to Casa was returned with an auto reply stating they were closed and will return all inquireis in the order they were received.
