Consulate Review: Morocco Review Topic: Event Description Review Date : November 6, 2013 Embassy Review : My husband and I arrived at the Casablanca consulate at 7:45am. They started letting people in at 8am. While my husband went in for his interview, I waited outside for him. He went in and was sitting there and after about an hour and a half a man called my husband's name. Then he asked him some questions like: Have you ever traveled outside Morocco? What are your degrees? Where does your wife live? When did you get your High school diploma? What is your occupation? When did you get your B.A.? Then he gave my husband back copies of the papers that I sent of our packages and our original marriage certificate. Then he asked my husband to go back to his seat and they will call him in a bit. After about an hour and a half, they called him to a separate room. There was this lady there and she asked my husband to swear that the information on these forms are true. Then she asked him questions like: How did you meet your wife? where did you meet? How and when did your romance start? how many times did your wife visit Morocco since being with you? what does your wife do? Who is the co-sponsor? How is the co-sponsor related to your wife? That's basically it. Then she told my husband that she knows our marriage will be a successful marriage. She also said that they need some time for Administrative Processing. She handed my husband back his passport and she gave him form 221g. Advice: You don't need a lawyer for this process trust me! I did it on my own and with the help of Visajourney of course. Save the money that you will be handing out to the lawyer for a vacation when your spouse arrives. Overall the Casablanca consulate wasn't that bad. I mean we had to wait for about 4 months for the Administrative Processing to be cleared. I was about to go insane in those 4 months, but hamdolah everything went great. Don't give up! Rating : Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
