There is no way to speed up the process.  Casa is not an easy consulate for some.  The best thing you can do at this point is to make frequent visits to Morocco.  Evidence of time actually together is the best evidence you provide at this stage.

After I met him I’ve gone back three times, one of the times was for a month and the others were about 25 days, I’ve started filling out the paper work but they haven’t asked for any of that stuff

Evidence of time actually together can be used evidence of a bona fide marriage......You should read this guide:

Plan on spending time in Morocco.

copies of actual boarding passes of all trips, hotel receipts, copies of passport stamps, plus financial co-mingling, as much as you can do while living in different countries, send all this evidence with the I-130 petition

[RJandHamid 1,133]

You received a lot of good suggestions here about the importance of relationship evidence and what to include. Casablanca is not an easy consulate. While relationship evidence is not "required" when submitting the I-130 Form, it is important that you include as much as you can anyway. Are you filing online or will you be sending in the petition through paper mail? My husband is from Morocco, and although we did the K-1 process and not the CR-1, I know many others who successfully brought over a Moroccan spouse on a CR1 visa. There is no "fast" way of getting him here, but if you take time to study and understand the process, you can be successful.

You best investment is to spend a few hours reading on here, especially those with similar scenarios and than asking questions about anything you do not understand. 

 

Let us look at positives, you made several trips before marrying of reasonable duration so you are off to a better start than many. Other specifies of your individual case may or may not have an impact.

Absolutely what @Boiler said!

The folks here are so knowledgeable and helpful - through reading you will soon identify the most helpful and competent posters 🏆

My husband is from MENA region and we successfully worked ourselves through a 5 page RFE by reading here, and addressing some very specific questions that we couldn't find answers for.

I do recommend front loading the petition with evidence, especially for applicants of that region. We initially submitted some photos together (10 or so), some social media screenshots, and travel itineraries of 3 visits (which added up to 3 months total, one of them alone 2 months) but we still got hit with a request for additional evidence and at that point we sent EVERYTHING. Affidavit of me (petitioner) describing the relationship since we met, affidavit of him (beneficiary) describing it in his own words (- this is a fun exercise by the way because you realize how different things were of importance for the other person :)), affidavits of his entire family and a friend of mine who has met him, chat logs and call logs spanning the entire relationship, many photos in different places from travel, and with family and friends, statements showing him as beneficiary of my life insurance and 401(k), receipts of purchases together (such as flight tickets for him paid with my credit card), passport stamps and itineraries of 4 visits by that time... you name it.

 

It feels overwhelming at first, but keep reading and you'll gain confidence!
