Got it!!! Thanks for the information. I'm learning a lot from everyone today. I would need to talk to her about if she has sole custody or if the father would grant permission to let the kids go.

Thanks for this information. So that's basically 3 filing fees and everything? Would filing for children be the same fees or something different? Also how long does it take for a packet that large? I was seeing on the site here that it's been an average of 2 years that people get fiancé and spousal visas approved. I can only assume that with adding kids to the equation would make it a long process.

I totally agree!!! I want to calm everyone's nerves and say I will meet her in person however many times I can with earned vacation time. I wanted to get as much information as possible to see what I'm getting myself into.

I totally understand. I need to see her in person but like I mentioned before I don't want to open up a big can of worms either and have a lot of big hurdles to cross.

Of course!!! I will meet her first. I just wanted to know what possible hurdles would be ahead if I went over to meet her and everything. Also yes!!! That international child abduction is serious from what I've read. Not trying to get tied up with those issues.

So would the permission from the other parent still be required though?

3. Yes. My son lives with me sometimes and then with his mom. 5. We haven't met yet. So even I would still have to have a lot of physical time together? What would be a satisfactory amount of trips?

Hello everyone. I am looking for some answers in regards to marriage to a Muslim woman I am interested in. Here's some background on both of us. I am 39 years old, Muslim, and she is 32. She has two kids(girls 11 and 13) and divorced and I have one kid. She has a job as a French and Arabic teacher in Casablanca and I work for the Division of Emergency Management in Florida. She does speak English as well. Here are my questions: 1. Is it possible for her to bring her daughters over or is that a special process? The father isn't in the picture if that matters. 2. Would the father have to sign off on them leaving Morocco? 3. If the children can come then what would be the income requirements? Would the household size include my son? 4. I see now there are online marriages in the USA and I see that Florida offers this. Would it be easier to marry online here, fly over and consummate the marriage, just marry in Morocco? I would like to file for the CR-1 visa if I decide to marry her. 5. Would multiple trips to see her first be b%etter and then file? 6. Is the mhar different because she's divorced(officially and unofficially)?
