but at this time Morocco does have a quarantine and allow only morocco citizens in

and he could not do the marriage there as the embassy is closed to do the first step 

Cities that are now in lockdown

Casablanca 

Maracheck

Tangiers

Fes

Rabat

in order to marry in Morooc ,,  a person must get "eligibiltiy to marry" letter from US embassy in Casa , take it to Rabat to foreign minister and then get all documents ( meaning a major city trip) transferred to Arabic and then back to her hometown for meetings with police and judge

no way to get this done at this time

buses,  taxis and trains are not in service either

thank you very much..i had no idea there is something called 'eligibilty to marry'..thank you

Just a note that the issue is not how many visits so much as it is how much time spent together in person.  There's a big difference between visiting a few days and visiting a few weeks.  Be sure to have some significant time together in person, before filing the petition.  Note, I said before filing the petition, not before marriage.  Use your own judgment on that.

 

Also, while Casa can seem difficult statistically, that is largely because of non-traditional relationships.  If the petitioner is male, of the same religion and culture as the Moroccan bride, with a traditional age gap, things may well go smoothly for you.  Your issue now is to get there and accomplish getting married.  Start studying here.  https://ma.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/marriage-information/

i planned for more..but under the current circumstances i want to get the ball rolling for fear other measures will come forth.

The point is, there is no use in 'getting the ball rolling' if it only leads to a denial due to just one visit.  It is unfortunate, but that is the deal at Casablanca and many other US embassies in MENA and South Asian countries.

yes,  this is a document the USC needs to get from the US embassy in Morocco 

no big deal when the city and embassy is open

you fill out a paper saying you're not married and the the CO has you say an oath it is the truth,  pay the fee for this and they stamp it

this document is taken to the Office of Foreign Minister in Rabat for another document 

the hardest and most expensive part of marriage in Morocco is the translation of all documents (about $10 a page and 6 copies for both of you)

you also need a paper saying you are muslim from IMAM as a muslim woman can not marry outside the faith (Shari'a law)

The person posting that proxy marriages are not accepted in the USA, probably should have added "for immigrant spouse visas".  But....that...IS...the topic here.  Isn't it?
