Is that a typo? $55k or $55? 

I was wondering this as well.   There is a demographic of men from certain countries who seem to seek relationships with older American women on disability

OP said she's only five years older. But if she would make $55k there would be no need for a joint sponsor probably.

We spent 3 months talking online and then I visited him for 1 week. Presented lots of pictures. I am working with my fiance to  see if he has something in writing.  Thanks so much. I. Think the next step may be I have to go back. And marry him there

 

We've only known each other for 3 months? For a place like Morrocco, which is a high fraud country, that's a very short period of time.

I am only 5 years older than he so the age is not a factor.  His brother submitted an 2nd affidavit of support as well because I only make $55 a year and I have to be able to support both of us.

Is his brother in the US? Did you met through him? What's his brother's status in the US?

 

If you've only known each other for 3 months or so, you've only spent a week together, and you also know his brother, then maybe the embassy thinks this is a way for him to be in the US with his brother. I don't know. I see how the embassy could flag this given that it's a tough embassy.

 

FYI I'm NOT saying I think this, I'm seeing that I see how this could be a problem.

u checked the CEAC site?

 

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

leave it at immigrant and type in your case #

 

another reason CASA denies is the intending immigrant has poor English skills,   and /or no idea what he will do when coming to the US/like work or study after getting AOS approved

I entered the case number and nothing comes up. What is a csb number

CSB are initials for Casa embassy that should be 1st 3 letters of your case #

Are u sure he had an interview

it should say "interview ready"  or

"denied" or 

"refused"  which means in AP

 

[JeanneAdil 6,498]

when case goes to NVC you get a new case number that starts with CSB then the year it got to NVC  so your case  # should look like this CSB2021xxxxxxxxxx

What was said during the interview?  What were the Consulate Officer's concerns?

One week of time is simply not enough for Morocco. I spent just over 2 months over multiple trips to visit my fiancé, we were approved. Age is also a big factor, particularly if you are able to bare children still, this is because culturally it is very important for moroccans to have children. So if you are older that might have been another reason. 

 

Your best path forward at this point is to visit as much as you can, marry, file a CR1 and apply again. 

 

Wish you both best of luck.

My fiance was denied in his interview,  what are our options

Was he denied or was the decision postponed to a later date?

Like others have said, a denial would come with verbal and written reasons for it.

My then-fiancee was not approved at the interview (not denied, just “not approved”) and they did not give any reason for that, just that they would contact us by mail. 
Two days later, the status online changed to “approved”.

They just were practicing “intimidation” - not to use the word “bullying” - like they did for the entire process due to a prior visa overstay and were just sending the message that her journey would not be typical and much harder and longer because of that.

All ended well…

If you get married, it can be done very fast in the US. Make sure he goes by the book when it comes to visas and length of stay. 
Good luck…

How are they going to get married in the US?

He won't get a B visa with a K denial, you know this, right?

Who’s saying he doesn’t have a visa already? The op did not say where they met and with what kind of visa. And who’s saying the op can go to Morocco? It goes both ways!

[Boiler 45,486]

She visited him once so why not again?

I think it is inferred.  According to the OP, they met online, and, after 3 months, she visited him for a week.  She also said "Think the next step may be I have to go back. And marry him there".  If he had a B visa, I would expect the question to be similar to "Can we marry while he is visiting me in the US"....

Anyway, I am still waiting to hear what was said during the interview and what concerns the Consulate Officer had.  Usually, the interviewee can give us valuable information.  Marriage doesn't cure all denials.
