Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
My husbands interview was at 8am on 8/17/16. He arrived at the consulate about 30 mins early. He showed his interview letter to the guard and was let across the street. He waited with others who were there for interviews as well. After he was allowed into the consulate he gave his passport and other papers to a Moroccan man. We were not required to pay any fees. He gave the affadavit of support paperwork to a female at another window when it was asked for. He then sat down and began the wait. Shortly before noon and after everyone else he had come in with was gone, a black female CO came to him and asked him what he was doing there. He told her that he was there for his CR1 interview. She began looking and realized that they had somehow misplaced his passport and had essentially forgotten about him. She told him to go eat some lunch and to come back at 2pm. After lunch, he waited a again, but only for about another hour. He was then called to a window where the same black female CO was. He sat down and she began to ask him questions about our marriage and our relationship. She asked the following questions:
What is your wife's full name ?
What is her ex-husbands name ?
Why did they get divorced ?
When did they get divorced ?
What is her daughter's name ?
How old is she ?
Where does she live ?
She asked about the age difference between the two of us (I am 17 years older than him)
She asked him why he married an American woman
She asked how long I was in Morocco and where we lived while I was living there.
She asked about our marriage
if we had had a party or any type of celebration
She also asked him what was his family's opinion of me and of our marriage.
All in all, he said the interview lasted about 30 minutes. At the end of the interview, she told him that because I had only been back in the United States for 6 months in 2015 and did not make enough during those 6 months to meet the income requirements that we would need to find a co-sponsor. She told him to go find a sponsor and bring back the information and he would get his visa within 10 days. She gave him a blue 221g form with the information that would be needed from the co-sponsor. She kept our marriage certificate and his medical paperwork. and gave him back everything else that had been sent to them. (I was told this is a good sign)
**Update, we found a co-sponsor the same day and I FedExed the paperwork to my husband which he received this past week. He dropped it off at ARAMEX in Casablanca along with his passport and the 221g form that the CO had given him. ARAMEX told him to call them back within 10 days.
