Marriage in Moroocc

[HAJARMorocco 2]

I have been chatting with a girl for over 7 months and have known her pretty well, also talk with parents , brothers, sisters over video. I will be going to morocco in couple months to her and if I feel everything is right and my heart tells me to marry her then I would probably do it. I have heard lots of stories of people saying to be careful with moroccon women and I know what they mean and some of them are in it just for the visa but this girl is not the case...Like I said I will go meet and her family to see the vibes...

 

If I do get married then I can come come back here file for spousal visa..I have heard from people that K1 is much faster than CR1 but there is also a higher chance of K1 getting rejected so I dont want to risk it plus I cant keep going back and forth wasting time just for visiting..I want to go once and if all is well then I will go ahead marry her...

 

How long does CR1 take for a US citizen I have seen some cases in timelines completed in 7-8 months..How long does marriage take in morocco..what documents do I need to take with me from here...

CR1 is 12-18 months. 

I would recommend to not get married on the first visit. Spend at least 6 months together to get to know one another.

Filing for either type of visa after only one visit to Morocco would be a mistake with high probability of denial.  You will want to search the forums and read as much as possible about the Casablanca embassy.  @Jeanne Adil had several denial and can offer specific advice.

 

Even if you were to go through a low-fraud embassy, 7-8 months is not a reasonable expectation at this time.

Reasonable recommendation for people who live near each other.  Not so much when living half a world away.  Whether I would advise marrying on the first visit or not, depends on how long the visit is.  You may also find you won't have enough time to marry anyway.  Here's a link to the US Embassy's page about marrying in Morocco.
