Moroccan husband joining a US pregnant wife!

[nomadnoor 29]

Salaam alaikum Younes,

Mabrook alik on your baby! 

Your K-3 should automatically convert to a CR-1 visa process.

As you haven't filled out your timeline on the Visa Journey website I can't tell you what to expect based on what stage of the process you are in.

You can once you get to the National Visa Center (NVC) attempt to expedite the visa process however not specifically for the pregnancy.

If you want more details feel free to message me.

 

Wa alaikum salaam,

Ally & Omar

First of all, please edit your profile and add Morocco as your country so next time you start a topic it will automatically be placed in the Moroccan portal of the forum. This would increase your chances of getting "opinions" and "advice" that's more tailored to your needs since more members experienced with the US Embassy in Morocco will be seeing it.

 

Second of all, I think that your chances of getting a tourist visa while having a wife and a future baby in the US are very slim, even if you have a business and 3 vehicles in Morocco. You're willing to leave that behind to come live in the US anyway, so must not be a very strong tie after all...

 

Third, K3 visas are no longer that active in circulation and your chances of getting one are even slimmer than getting a tourist visa. By applying for K3 you're just wasting time away from your wife and future baby.

 

Fourth, just apply for CR1/IR1 visa. That's the best and most probably the only way for you to reunite with your family in the US.

 

Fifth, no need to hire a lawyer as he/she'll just steal your money and either tell you lies and give you false hope so they earn more of your pennies. A lawyer would tell you the same thing we have told here anyway. Besides, the CR1/IR1 process is straightforward and most of us here have completed their immigration process just by following the guides here and getting help from fellow forum members.

Here's the CR1 visa guide:

Good luck!

R, are you sure a denied B2 won t affect his CR1 approval? Does t that look like he tried to go before??? I don t wanna get into the details of it, but I heard and read some who had to explain that denial. Does he want more issues? Please enlighten me. I could be wrong.

So long as the applicant does not make a misrepresentation, they are fine. The issue with some people is usually when somebody lies or is misleading in order to try to increase their chances of obtaining the visa (i.e. not mentioning their fiance/spouse as the purpose of the visit).

The CO may ask about previous visa applications, and both the DS-160 and DS-260 ask about them, but so long as you're honest it's not a reason to refuse a K-1 or CR-1 visa.

Putting Morocco in his profile will not make his posts go to the Moroccan Portal. It does not work that way. His threads and posts will go to the forum he starts a thread in or replies in. There is nothing in his question that needs tailoring, he wants an expedite because he wants to see his child be born. As much as every parent wants to be at their child's birth. It is not a reason to expedite.

There are plenty of people who apply for and visit on a tourist visa while their CR1 petitions are being processed. A B2 visa is a different class of visa as well (non-immigrant). I agree that if he applies for a B2 multiple times and is denied multiple times, then if may raise suspicion. As long as they are honest in their intention to use the B2 visa (even it was not approved) just to visit and not to stay, the CO will likely think little of it. It's pretty common for couples to have a B2 denial and still be approved for CR1 visas.

~~Moved to IR1/Cr1 from K3 P&P as the OP has confirmed with his wife she files for a CR1~~

Khouya Omar & Ally Chokran bezaf lah ybarek fik. 

I figure out with my wife that she filled up the (I 130) and not the K3 as I though. She called them and the answer was: the application didn’t get updated into CR1 and that will take between 6 months and 8 months counting from November. Inchaalah I’m willing to be with her for the delivery. If not I’m thinking to take another option such as a business visa to assist the tourism exhibition. It’s my baby and I will do my best & I HAVE to be there, you know how I feel Omar right? Some contributors on here won’t understand that, and that’s why they showed their disagreement of having a baby or judging us to have a baby in order to expedite the process even went so far to speak about my country culture won’t suit my wife !!! 

 

Chokran an Khouya bezzaf maykone ghi lkhir inchaalah !

Unfortunately, no matter how badly you want to be in the US with your wife for the birth, this will not happen.  Your CR1 process will not be complete in time and they will not grant you a visitors visa knowing you have a wife and child in the US.  Do not attempt to get a business visa in order to be in the US for the birth.  Lying about why you will be coming on a business visa will only hurt your chances for the CR-1 visa.  Then you could end up with a denied business visa and a denied CR1 visa.

 

If you absolutely HAVE to be at the birth of your child, the only way is to bring your wife to Morocco for the delivery.  Somehow you don't seem to understand that.  You don't have time to immigrate to America before the child is born.

No your visa will not be ready in time

Your petition will likely be approved in time but this does not account for processing time at the NVC or the time it takes for your interview

You can try for a B2 visit visa, although approval is very unlikely

That said if you have the time and money go ahead and apply, a denial for a visit visa will not negatively impact your ability to get a CR1 visa (provided you are honest in your application and interview)

[Etamkoos 100]

I think everyone needs a friendly reminder of the ToS, anyone have a link handy? .

 

OP: The posters are trying to help you, not passing judgement on your wife being pregnant, nor whether this was intentional to try and expedite the process.  If, by some miracle, you are approved and residing in the US with your wife by the time your child is born, please post about it on VJ as the information may be helpful to others in your situation.

 

I concur that the likelihood of you obtaining a tourist visa and being in the US in time for your wife giving birth is slim to none.

Maybe won't help now, but will help later when he asks questions about documents obtained in Morocco (police records, translations, medical exam...etc) and questions specific to the US Embassy in Morocco.

I’m tour operator and own a company in here + 3 vehicles on my name you think that will be enough to prove ties to my country? 

 

U will loose nothing to try get tourist visa.as what others before said ur chance is very very very low to have it.have u been overseas like Europe ? That will help and a very strong ties to Morocco.plan B is  for her to come have baby in Morocco maybe its not an option but u have very limited options.

Myself personally have a pregnant wife in Morocco  and will.have to go join her instead of her coming as they said its a very stressful and long process for CR1 visa .Im a March 2011 filler way before u filled .still not done.

Good Luck .

To be more accurate, it is true that...

 

1, people visit during their CR1 visa process.  Almost all of these do so on the Visa Waiver Program, Canada Visitor Privilege, or a visitor visa they already obtained prior to an immigrant petition being filed in their behalf. 

 

2. many apply for visitor visas after a petition has been filed in their behalf, yes.  However almost all of those applications are denied.

 

3. A denied visitor visa is not, in and of itself, going to have any significant impact on the immigrant visa process, as long as there was no misrepresentation in the application.

 

WHAT IS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT made bold in the quoted text above, because "apply for and visit" implies those who apply WHILE...are being granted non-immigrant visas when they have immigrant intent.  This is illegal under current US immigration law.  Such visas are granted in unusual circumstances only.

[kris&me 572]

we really do all wish you and your family and the baby to come the best

but do a timeline

tell us how many visits she has made and the length of time in Morocco together

many have gone 4 or 5 times and made multiple applications to be together with their loved one as the Casablance embassy is extremely difficult

they even denied an immigrtion employee for her husband

you have gotten some harsh but good advice here 

make sure you do not try for expedite by saying your wife can not work as she is suppose to have the income to support you

no one has said this but if this is your first application for spouse visa in Morocco,  there is a chance for denial or long (a year or more) in AP

 

to say good luck is not enough

God Bless you both

Very unlikely to be approved with a pending petition, USC wife, and soon-to-be child. And it could result in a permanent bar on any visa if you mislead the CO as to your true purpose of the visit (which they would easily see when you declare the child later in the immigrant visa process).

The only way to ensure this is to have the child outside the US. It's better to face reality now than to trick yourself into believing that you will find some loophole later.
