Fiance had his interview at 1pm on Friday 3 February. At the interview there was him and 5 other men and one woman.
He was called second. He said the guy who interviewed him was an Indian guy. His interview was in English.
His questions were
--Why didn't you get married in Morocco?
-- How did we meet? When my fiance said we had met online (not on a dating site) he asked why he was trying to meet girls online. He said he was not we met on a language site not a dating site.
-- Why didn't you get a woman in Morocco?
-- When did you first start talking?
-- When will she visit you again? My fiance said I was going the next week and went to get my flight documents/AirBNB paperwork and he said that the official said "when I ask you a question, you answer the question, you don't show me papers. If I want to see papers, I will ask for papers"
My fiance got very upset that the official would not allow him to show him any paperwork we had spent time getting together. My fiance was told that it was "not normal" for us to be together with a 17 year age difference and said to him "what do you see in someone with a child?"
We got the white 221g Administrative Processing paperwork and it has been 5 weeks now without any update at all from the consulate. Every email gets a generic pre-printed response. We are the same religion, speak the same language, and it is very frustrating to see others with large age gaps (12-15 years) get approved where we did not get approved. My fiance knew the female at the interview, they had been corresponding on a Facebook group for K1 visas in Morocco - she went last and she got her visa approved with a 24 year age difference but my fiance and all the men who interviewed that day all got the AP.
There should be a better way of conducting interviews. Sometimes everyone gets a visa, sometimes no one does. I feel it should not simply be at the discretion of the individual conducting the interview but there should be an appeal process or some other way of securing who is in a valid relationship. This is our life at stake and it's completely unfair we have to put everything on hold because a consulate official wouldn't give me fiance more than 5 minutes and seemed to doubt him before he even opened his mouth.
