  1. From what you have shared, you have done everything right, so I agree with others that the probability of approval is high. The previous two K-1 denials may have had something to do with the interviews, maybe her answers were not believable to the officer. Having a sister and aunt in the USA was likely a red flag. I suggest that you help your wife to prepare for the upcoming interview so that if she is asked about her family in the USA, she has an answer that is more focused on you and your marriage relationship. She should know everything about you--past marriages (if any), your children (if any), all of your details including date of birth, place of birth, where you live and have lived in the past, your profession, where you plan on living together, her plans for work, education, starting a family with you, etc. Practice with her to make sure that she answers with confidence, and that her reason for wanting to live in the USA is to be with you. Sometimes people get nervous in the interview and the officer interprets this as not being truthful. Good luck!
  2. This could be an issue for a B2. Ties to home country typically include a stable job and income that would allow you to pay for a short trip to the US as a tourist.
  3. No disadvantage other than taking longer. If Frankfurt says no to the DCF request, the only other option for a spousal visa is to immediately file an I-130 petition online, and include a request to expedite the case based on your written job offer in the US. US immigration is never fast, even DCF if approved takes a few months. Regular processing via USCIS then consulate abroad takes 1-2 years.
  4. Are you willing to relocate to the country where she lives? That would make more sense given her dislike of the USA.
  5. As others have said, an online marriage is only valid for US immigration after you have been together, in-person, once married, or together during the online marriage ceremony. The other challenge you face is that Morocco is well-known to be a difficult embassy/consulate that scrutinizes relationships because of fraud. You will need to spend lots of time together, in person, and submit documentation of those visits/time together whether you choose an I-129F petition or I-130 petition for a K-1 or CR-1. Meeting once before filing a petition is very likely to lead to a denial in your case, and it has nothing to do with a same-gender relationship. Multiple visits, in a third country if Morocco is not possible, is the only way this will work out. You may want to consider spending a few months together in a third country after you get out of the military, to make sure you really want to marry this person and to show US immigration officers that the relationship is bona fide.
