Hello Everyone, please delete if not allowed. I apologize in advance if it is.
I m a Military Service Member, engaged to my Fianc from Morocco. We have been together for over two years, from June of 2021 then broke up around October of 2023. We then reconnected in January of 2024 and it was like fate brought us back together. Like we are meant to be together and it s better than before.
Now since we are both gay males and me being in the military with travel restrictions, It s been difficult to just fly to Morocco and other countries due to their culture which I want to respect fully and then have trouble traveling to accepting countries due to my job in the military and the log process of routing up a special request chit to everyone in my chain of command. We talk all day, video call a lot, he has met my family and I ve met his nieces and nephews.
I was reading that there is a stipulation on the Fianc Visa meeting in person requirement if meeting would violate long standing culture and traditions which it would because we are both male and love each other.
I just want to know, which would be a better and legal route to go, Fianc Visa or Spousal Visa? Also what are the time frames for both and cost. As of right now, I m leaning towards applying for the marriage license in Florida online and then doing an online wedding then file for the Spousal CR-1 Visa.
Thank you for all your time. I appreciate any and all help. Have a great day.
