My fianc (Morocco) and I (US) want to get married this summer in Morocco and honestly I have no idea where to start. I ve read a lot of the government stuff but it s a little confusing and overwhelming. And then I read through some things here and find out little tidbits of info that add to the confusion. So I hope I m in the right place to ask some questions?
My questions so far are:
- aside from the documents listed on the US embassy page, what are other documents the Casa embassy sometimes asks for? (like paystubs, work letters, military papers, proof of relationship documents?)
- I m from Indiana and my local police station sent me to an online portal to get my records but it is basically just a page that says there was nothing found on me. Is this acceptable as the police report for the embassy or am I just asking the wrong thing of our police station?
- how many passport photos do we need in total (I ve read 2 and 4)?
- does his family/family member need to accompany us to these appointments so we are not alone? for example can it be me, my fianc , and his mother? (I read that in Rabat you cannot be alone together for some of the papers, is it the same in Casa?)
- how long should we expect this process to take?
- once we are married, if I want to stay and live there for a while, will this cause problems? I won t be working, and will probably not have a job in the US but I m worried if we decide to stay that applying for his visa to the US later will be more difficult.
I know this is a lot but I really appreciate anything and anyone who can help and point us in the right direction!
