For us, they received my husband's application June 6/11...the interview wasn't until Jan. 19/12. But maybe because you have been living there for a year it might help with the process. Each case is different. You will have to be very patient.

Thank you FatimaZahra! like I said, the Embassy in Rabat received his application on May 6, 2012.I think it will help because I live in Marrakech for a year and haven't return to Canada in year and 2 month. my husband and my mother told me to be patient! and it will happen at the right time.

I always wonder what kind of questions to ask during interviews by VO at Rabat? so we can be prepared and ready. the idea of interview make me feel nervous for my husband. I wanted him pass the interview so he can have the visa so we can fly to Canada.

I will be there for him at the Embassy. I read that Canadian women is not allowed to be present with him during the interview, that mean Canadian women wait outside while husband is in interview.

Thanks!! The CDN Embassy in Rabat finally called my husband today and inform him that he have a interview appointment on October 18th, 2012 at 10:00 am which is on Thursday next week!!

finally about the time! I wrote all the questions on paper so my husband and I can look it over. I am really nervous and worried about the interview. I just want VO to approve him and issue the visa.

my stomach feel like many knots, it will get bigger when interview is approaching because I am really nervous.

I read many comments, some people got refused and some people get approved. I want it approved!! I came all the way to Marrakech from Canada to be with him--I love him so much. I stayed here in Morocco for a year already.

Oh my, we were so nervous also. They contacted us 2 months after the interview to give the date of issue for the visa.

Dani...you have been living there for a year, I am sure they take that into consideration. Keep in mind every situation is different.

Good luck to you both!! :)

For us, it's Wednesday! We are nervous and excited, I really don't know what they will ask him, what they might be looking for....but your right...slow deep breaths and the appearance of confidence :D The crazy thing is i just left Morocco, I was visiting there until Sept 30th, so it's hard to not be with him now! Plus this week I have to spend waiting in jury duty!! Life is a funny, funny thing! I really wish the best of luck to you! If he gets any pointers, I will let you know! :)
