Hello everybody,

 

i'm desperate right now and i need your help !

 

Im a senegalese living in Morocco. Me and my wife (US citizen) have been married on Jan,30th 2017.

we applied for the i130 in april 2017. Everything went good so far, the USCIS approved the petition on november 2017.
We applied for the next step on may 2018 and NVC approved the case on June 2018.
The interview at the US consulate of casablanca has been scheduled on July 31st.
I have been interviewed and i had all the documents they needed , i had answered to all the questions.
The C.O. had some doubts about the relationship because my wife's last name was Ndiaye like me (her mom has senegalese origin) but we are not relatives.
It's like asking if all the johnson in the U.S. are relatives, there are at least 2 millions "ndiaye" in 14millions of senegalese citizens.  But i told the C.O. to check at the consulate to be sure that everything is genuine.

On August 7th they called me back and the C.O. said that everything is ok ,. The C.O. said the visa is now approved and by 3 weeks i would get my passport back with the visa at the aramex office.

Since that day !!! NO MORE NEWS !!! i have been writting email , many many emails but no answers
My wife did the same , no answers

The immigrant visa unit never pickup the phone.
My job requires me to travel and with my passport blocked, i wasn't able to , i have been liying to my boss or simulate being sick to avoid missions abroad until i lost my job !!! IM UNEMPLOYED RIGHT NOW !!

This is not fair, at least it is my right to get my passport and use it until they finish their job.
I have no way to join them or talk to someone who can get things done.
I just want my passport back.

I have sent them emails regarding that point but same return : generic email saying that the consulate received my mail but no answers !!!
If someone can't help or give advice i would be very thankful

Best regards

To explain why

the embassy in Morocco does not want you to travel after visa interview  / that would require additional security checking passport and all the new countres to make sure no travel to areas deemed terrorists training camps 

they want u to remain put till you are approved

since it has been since July for 1st interview,  a new medical exam will be required 

all you can do it be patient and wait like the rest of us have had to do

since you are born in Senegal there is additional security they have had to do

this is checking criminal reports and birth certificate from there
