My fiancé (Morocco) and I (US) want to get married this summer in Morocco and honestly I have no idea where to start. I’ve read a lot of the government stuff but it’s a little confusing and overwhelming. And then I read through some things here and find out little tidbits of info that add to the confusion. So I hope I’m in the right place to ask some questions?

 

My questions so far are:

 

- aside from the documents listed on the US embassy page, what are other documents the Casa embassy sometimes asks for? (like paystubs, work letters, military papers, proof of relationship documents?)

- I’m from Indiana and my local police station sent me to an online portal to get my “records” but it is basically just a page that says there was nothing found on me. Is this acceptable as the police report for the embassy or am I just asking the wrong thing of our police station?

- how many passport photos do we need in total (I’ve read 2 and 4)?

- does his family/family member need to accompany us to these appointments so we are not alone? for example can it be me, my fiancé, and his mother? (I read that in Rabat you cannot be alone together for some of the papers, is it the same in Casa?)

- how long should we expect this process to take?

- once we are married, if I want to stay and live there for a while, will this cause problems? I won’t be working, and will probably not have a job in the US but I’m worried if we decide to stay that applying for his visa to the US later will be more difficult.

 

I know this is a lot but I really appreciate anything and anyone who can help and point us in the right direction! 

Have you even met face to face yet?   Getting married on first visit isn't always a good idea.

Take time to know him, his family, Moroccan ways, and having a stable life-job in US would be good also.

 

Getting approved is difficult there, take time with him, the more time, better the chance of an approval.

Yes I said previously this is not our first times together.
