Casablanca K-1 Passport stolen 2 weeks before interview (merged)

[Azrael23 1]

Hi this is an oddly specific question , I just wondering if anyone had something similar happen. My fiancée had a stroke of bad luck, she rented a car to go to Casablanca for the medical exam and on her way there a group of people were fighting in the streets and eventually stole her car with all the papers and passport. Police report was filed . She filed a new passport, id etc. they told her it would take 15 days for the passport which would make it October 18. The interview is October 15.. Casablanca embassy is notorious hard to get ahold of.  If the passport does not arrive early before the 15th of she went to the interview with all the paperwork would there be a chance? Thanks for any and all input much appreciated.

So sorry this happened, I’m glad she’s okay. I would still go to the interview and bring the police report to explain the situation. I believe they can still conduct an interview but will put the case on hold until they receive the passport.

What happened was she went to the interview and they called everyone who standing in line who didn’t get their medical exam to step out. Her an and a few others stepped out. They told my fiancée and the others that they can not do the interview without the medical

exa being completed. They took her number down and said they will call

to schedule another appointment after the medical exam. I was furious. The medical exam has since been completed 11/1/24 and no call. I have been emailing the embassy to reschedule and no answer and everytime I call they are closed even though it is during their posted open hours. So now I have no idea what to do, when she will

come. I have already contacted a senator .

Hi I am lost, I tried searching couldn’t find anything regarding it. My fiancée was the victim of a crime and her passport got stolen before the medical exam. So that got rescheduled to 11/1/24. We were able to get an expedited passport replacement before the K-1 interview 10/15/24. When she went with the police report, they told her and several others that unless they had the medical exam completed that they could not do the interview and it would need to be rescheduled after the medical exam being completed. They took her number and said they would call to reschedule after the medical exam. I was furious. She completed the medical exam 11/1/24. We have not heard from the embassy to reschedule her interview. I have send numerous emails to them requesting a new interview date. I try calling during the scheduled hours but they never answer and the recording says they are closed smh. I am so lost right now. I am contacting my senator, but beyond that I don’t know what to do. We waited so long for that interview just for it to be taken away . Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. I will ofcourse update when I have any information.

unfortunately,  u do have to wait for Casa to reschedule the interview

Senator help is more than likely useless but if he/she is Repuplican (and will remain in office ),  make an appointment to meet an assistant in his / her office to sign a  release statement so they can inquire and perhaps push Casa for a new interview time.  This would be 1 of the easier things for the Senator to assist with.

Sorry this has happened to the 2 of u

but keep sending emails to the Casa office and bug them to death.  make it their problem

Just an update. I contacted the senator who contacted the embassy and got us a new interview 11/19(today) . 
 

My fiancée went to the interview and they asked her a bunch of questions of my ex wife , who she doesn’t know and never met, we have been divorced for 6 years . They denied her visa ,  gave her a letter which states the denial was for some documents. They requested she give her orginal divorce certificate, she had a certified copy but they wanted the original. Then it also says administrative review. 
 

She will be dropping off the letter, her passport and the orginal document tomorrow at the drop off location. So I’m just very on edge this has been such a long process. Has anyone been through this? If we send the documents will the visa be issued?

She will be in AP.  It will likely not be fast.  Sounds like you have a number of red flags.

What red flags? I am genuinely confused. He have thousands of texts and pictures, my mom wrote a letter stating the relationship is genuine, neither of us have any criminal history nor drug use, I didn’t meet her on a app we met through my friend in graduate school. We are the same religion, speak the same language.  I don’t understand what red flags? She has never applied for a visa before, I have never tried a K-1 before. I can’t understand how there could be any red flags?

Did you bring the first wife over on an immigrant visa also?  There must be some reason why they focused on that during her interview.

No. My first wife we met here. I did not file an immigrant visa for her. The divorce was years ago. It was strange to me that’s what they were asking about. I was hoping that once we drop off the original copy of her divorce paperwork that we would be finally be done with this nightmare.

It is a very backlogged consulate, so even if there are no true AP type issues, I would imagine it will be some time for them to review the additional info they've received.   Good luck.

Just an update . We are still waiting to hear something. The documents were submitted right after the interview in November . It updated on 11/29 (no change to status) . I emailed them on 12/15 and they to my astonishment replied on 12/16. I attached the email. 
since then I have not heard from them. Nothing updates, nothing changed. I tried to email a week ago for any update and no reply . It has not been 60 days yet. But getting close . If I don’t hear anything after 60 days I will then contact the senator. I have had really good luck with contacting the senator. But we will see . Just wanted to keep anyone updated who maybe in a similar situation.
