What is the proper visa to apply for.

[Blackstone 0]

I’m an American. My wife is Moroccan and we have a son who has his US passport. I want to get my wife her ASAP.

 

What is the best way? Visit visa or K visa? Once here I’d like to apply for her immigration visa.

 

For either, do I apply for her here in the US or does she apply at the embassy in Morocco?

Neither the K-1 visa nor the visitor visa would be correct. You will be applying for the CR1/IR1 spousal visa. The petition that you (the US citizen) will complete is called the I-130, Petition for Alien Relative. You can file this petition online. Eventually after your petition is approved and you go through some additional documentation steps, she'll attend an interview at the US consulate in Casablanca. I'd say the average CR1 process time from start to finish accounting for the backlog in Casablanca is about 1.5-2 years.

As said  by RJandHamid above CR1 is the only way to go

you can not get a tourist visa with intend to adust status in US and stay / that is illegal

 

Follow the guides above on the steps to file the petition or the USCIS site

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/family-immigration/immigrant-visa-for-spouse.html

 

check the income level on the poverty guidelines site to understand what income is needed to sponsor 125% for the NVC 2nd stage of the process

https://uwc.211ct.org/federal-poverty-levels-4115-33116/

 

You do not have a local office for this process and she will interview in Casa so mark the 62 a ,   and c as Casablanca ,  and Morocco 

 

be sure to list all children  of u and spouse even if they do not live with u

 

and please,  when u file,  create a timeline on your VJ profile page

Is DCF an option in Morocco?  He did say "as soon as possible".  

 

And he needs to wait on filing the I-130 online if he's going to try and do DCF?

He said "Get my Wife here asap".  To me, that implies he does not reside in Morocco.  I could be wrong, of course.

DCF is not an option in Morocco unless it is an exceptional circumstance.

You have asked this question many times over the years and been given the same answer each time, might be worth going back and having another read of your previous threads? Nothing has changed. As you were advised back in 2015, she cannot go on a visitor visa with the intent to stay permanently, that's immigration fraud. 

 

So you need to apply for a spousal visa and then she can move once she has that.

Topic moved from K3 forum to IR1/CR1 spousal visa forum as, from what it looks like, that is the only option available.
 

@Blackstone creating threads asking essentially the same question as years previously is considered spamming and is a TOS violation. Please don’t do that. Answers haven’t changed from when you first asked about this in 2012. Thanks.

So,  did u apply in 2015 and what happened?

if u had applied then,,  she and your son would be here now and he would have US education 

the change for him to leave his Moroccan friends and family and to adjust in the US is going to be hard as he is now 15 

[HandmadeTurnip 150]

I have a feeling the OP isn't going to respond to this thread and will be back in a year or two to ask the same question again.

Wow, the wife could be a citizen by 2017 at the latest and somehow nothing has been done yet!

 

I am counting the days until naturalization so it does not compute that other people just...don't do anything!!!

[JeanneAdil 6,568]

2009  you asked this question i (married 2006) son born in 2009 / u were working in Iraq

u say born in USA

in 2012 u asked again and say son is 2 not 3

2015 son is 5 as u say married 7 years when u would have been married 9

2016 working in Kuwait and u asked the same question / now for the 4th time

2017 u say son is 6   /  he would have been 11 

2018 working in Saudi ask same question

2020   same question  u say married 10 years when it would have been 14

 

I am not sure why a natural born USC would work (not say stationed ) in Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi

and why u can not keep track of how old is your child and how many years u have been married 

and why u didn't return to US as stated in 1 of your earlier posts

 

there is no help as u asked same quesiton each time and did not follow thru OR YOUR WORK HISTORY WAS SUSPECT TO CO 

and i can not help as your numbers do not add up

 

this subject should be closed
