Consulate Review: Morocco Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 2, 2010 Embassy Review : My interview was tuesday 30. I arrived to the ambassy at 7:45 as I was asked to.I passed security and arrived directly in a waiting area that is also where the interview are attended. to tell the truth I was suprised to see there was no intimity at all. we could hear all the conversations.. 30 later a dark blond american man came in the room and apologised saying that almost all the COs were stack in the street because of the massive rain we had that day. he said they will make it fast as possible. in the room we were 4women and 2men for CR1 process the rest were lotery or tourists. 5min we were asked to give our passports, appointement letter and pictures to a moroccan lady. and then right after that they started calling for interviews (women first ) I was the last one called first by a moroccan man that prepar the interviews for the blond lady that called me later. he took my medical, asked to see my album. I looked at every picture but realy quickly. he was filling some papers and asking me basic questions: -where and how you met? -Did you ever leave Morocco? for how long? -where you married befor?were you husband married befor? on the papers he were filling He were marking OK sign under every section. he finaly asked if I speack english? and he marked english in the front page. I saw him puting a green tiket on my passport (that was a positive sign for me at the moment) and asked me to sit until they call me again. this time a young blond and extremly nice american lady called me. she said she were happy to finaly speak english as the whole morning she was hardly trying to speak frensh her questions to me were : -how and WHEN we met? -she wanted to know details about how it went the first time we talked? -when our relationship turned romantic? -she asked when yusuf traveled first time to see me? -and how many times he came? -what my husband does for living? -what I plan to do once in America? she said I was approved and I have to come get my visa thursday (today) at 3pm.she gave me a peace of the green tiket I saw earlier on my passport. she wished me luck for the coming trip this was all. I spent 5 to 10 min with the moroccan guy and not more than 5min with the american lady. they didnt see any one of the tones of evidences I prepared :P I dont know if that can help anyone but I had the feeling that the decisions were made even befor we walked in the ambassy. the green tiket they gave me to have my visa today were on my passport befor even the lady saw me. the second point I want to make is that none should ever try to hide or lie on a point with them because all they ask they know the answers and they just want to see how you react face to every question they ask. the first woman that had the interview they gave her hard time. her husband went to American with the lotely. the day he had his interview he was married to her but said he was singl.they had no way to control that for him. but for her they compared the date of marriage and the date they issued the visa for the husband and she got an AP at the end. the two other women were approved. I dont know about the men but I was having interview same time as one of them and I can tell for sure that their interviews last longer and they gave them harder time asking about the details of the details. that is all about my experience, I am going to pick my visa this afternoon if there is no pb I hope this help some of you Rating : Not Rated

*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.
