you just ask with no stats to back up any claims but there are studies done and the following are the real stats What share of the immigrant population has a college education? In 2021, 34 percent (13.6 million) of the 40.2 million immigrants ages 25 and older had a bachelor’s degree or higher, a rate similar to that of U.S.-born adults (see Figure 3). However, newer arrivals tend to be better educated; 47 percent of immigrants who entered the country between 2017 and 2021 held at least a bachelor’s degree. Immigrants constituted 17 percent (28.6 million people) of the civilian labor force (166.9 million) in 2021, which comprises both employed and unemployed people. Immigrants’ share of the labor force has more than tripled since 1970, when they accounted for approximately 5 percent of the civilian labor force. What types of jobs do immigrants perform? Of the 26.8 million employed foreign-born workers ages 16 and older in 2021, the largest share (37 percent) worked in management, professional, and related occupations (see Figure 4). read the real studies https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states#:~:text=How many U.S. residents are,or 20 percent) from 2010.https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/frequently-requested-statistics-immigrants-and-immigration-united-states#:~:text=How many U.S. residents are,or 20 percent) from 2010.

For any of these people to inquire about your case , they need a signed document from u allowing them to do that i would say its a conindence

You must be performing work for which qualified workers are not available in the United States. You must meet any other requirements specified on the labor certification. TN worker is a professional https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/tn-nafta-professionals The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) created special economic and trade relationships for the United States, Canada and Mexico. The TN nonimmigrant classification permits qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to seek temporary entry into the United States to engage in business activities at a professional level. Among the types of professionals who are eligible to seek admission as TN nonimmigrants are accountants, engineers, lawyers, pharmacists, scientists, and teachers. You may be eligible for TN nonimmigrant status, if: You are a citizen of Canada or Mexico; Your profession qualifies under the regulations; The position in the United States requires a NAFTA professional; You have a prearranged full-time or part-time job with a U.S. employer (but not self-employment - see documentation required below); and You have the qualifications to practice in the profession in question.

this is a topic for a lawyer and your significant other is the USC willing to pay for the complete process with these time restraints (about 2 years just to get to interview) and then the CO can say "possible I 601 waiver"(another year or so) or just plain denied Denied K1 ;then what the process under normal conditions is not easy, cheap or fast its up to the 2 of u to consider and possibly to seek a good US immigration attorney USC should read about misrpesentation and /or fraud to understand what may happen and what they are getting into and consider the cost with the new fees that are suppose to increase https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-j-chapter-2

The moroccan stamp is put on after going thru security to verify a passport and / or visa it's not a control for verifying a relationship and the departure tax is no longer in effect the person must still comply with any covid restrictions of the country of designation if there are restrictions there

I was refering to the Mrocco community when saying "do not expose the relationship to the community" a Moroccan community seemed to know everyone else's business and its hard -very hard if they know

Normal practice in most states is the person seeking the divorce has to serve the other in the county (or parish) the other lives in Texas if u are still there has a 60 day waiting period and no fault divorce if u both agree and one of u must live 90 days in the county that the divorce is filed in but if no assets or children, going to Morocco is faster than a US divorce as it only takes a week to divorce divorce does not dissolve the I 864 agreement

it is from my reading of marriage in Islamic countrolled countries

Morocco will not stop u from leaving with an approved US visa but getting a visa approved when the Moroccan family does not know about the relationship is slim It's important that the family approves especially the Moroccan mother in any relationship for that country and that is normal practice as visas (in Morocco) have been denied when the family did not know about a marriage or a relationship was kept secret CR1 visa after a Utah zoom would be the way to go but the problem would be how to consummate the marriage when u can not do this in Morocco I would suggest reading the following post from Nolo law and think about hiring a GOOD attorney (not a cheap one that would tell u "what u want to hear") It only seems fair to let a family member know but its up to u DO NOT expose this to the community u live in but to a family member that may understand and be supportive and and keep your relationship confidential this is a hard one and the best to u and your partner https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/how-canmy-same-sex-fianc-attend-k-1-visa-interview-country-persecutes-lgbt.html

staging a photo means arranging the people and background to portray an emotion or event the sentence "the sentence the photos looked staged follows the line "no family was present at the marriage" even though they were staying with family" family did not have to be there as witnesses but they needed 2 people to witness and family would have made the marriage celebration after the marriage papers were signed with Henna 1st meal of dates and milk the Arabic dress(es ) even if only 1 day of celebration where are these photos ? these people decided to marry before meeting and WOW that's a scary scenario that's 1 red flag mentioned for Mena countries
