Dear CR1 applicants from Morocco and around the globe who received the DS 5535. Does any one have update whether you received your visa?

Hi Tangier Morocco;

 

In Casablanca the Ds5535 process takes 4 months to 6 months. the average is 4 months , 120 days.

We have a Moroccan whatsup group chat ( all moroccans who got ds5535), if you would like to join us, that way you can have an idea of who gets updates and who is issued a visa.

Let me know if you would like to join.

Currently the consulate in Casablanca is still processing August ds5535. 

A women just got her visa issued on December 15th after 4 months of waiting.

This one we currently use does not have active members. However the 89 page long forum is the only active forum on the DS 5535 issue.

When and where did your husband finish his interview? 

Opps! I just read that, you do not need to answer my question
