Sponsoring husband from Morocco

[hoping75]

You are very welcome Becca,

This is such a painful process, and I know it helps a little to have more information about what everyone else is experiencing also.

We don't feel so alone that way.
There is nothing more difficult than not knowing.
I will post if anyone gets calls this week.

I really believe that you will be getting good news. Keep your faith.

Good luck and God bless to everyone.

Hi Everyone,

If you've been on this site awhile, you may remember my husband Karim posting back in December. Things haven't been going well for us since then.

To give a little background:

- Our application received in Rabat June 8, 2007
- He was called for initial interview Dec. 6, 2007
- We were asked to provide more documentation (which they already had - err) Dec. 21, 2007
- Acknowledgement that he was in the security check phase Mid-January 2008.
- Medical Expired February 29, 2008 (no acknowlegement from imm)

We have heard NOTHING since then. Emails are going unanswered and the phone's not ringing. We contacted our MP awhile back and she was only able to confirm he is in the security check phase.

I'm applying for the CAIPS right after the long weekend, but aside from that...

Is there ANYTHING anyone can think of to help move this along? Can anyone give me any hope that this process will be over soon?

In 7 weeks it will be one full year since we've seen each other. I don't know how much longer we can do this.

Hi Raven,

Thanks for your reply. So have you received your CAIPS notes? I'm very curious to see what kind of info is on them...Has anyone ever found anything useful/helpful on them?

I heard from someone that is part of their process to let the medical expire. Which is frustrating. Why make us go through the hassle and cost in the first place?!?!

Speaking of hassle and cost - for the additional documents they requested from us, we ended up having to courier papers around the world (canada - morocco - canada - philippines - morocco), only to have them say "turns out we DID have them - oops". There seems to be little or no respect for people's time, money and energy.

Sorry for the rant - I'm at the end of my rope - and this seems like one of the few places where people will actually get what we're going through.

Hi

No new medical yet. In the last communication with the embassy they advised me that he is under security check still so if we get our new medical it's "at our own risk".

I kind of want to move forward on it because its one less thing we have to wait for...but its also a non-refundable $200.

tough call.

Hi Becca,

I just wanted to let you know that someone who had their interview on the 22nd of April received their call for their Visa today. They had not been given the decision either.

Things are still slowly moving along. Keep your courage. It will be your turn soon.


Good luck and God bless

Any idea when the pick up date was scheduled for? That is a longgggg wait.

Thanks

Seems that each case is different. The spouse of a friend of mine had her interview on April 28. They got the call one week later for visa pickup the following week.

 

[hoping75]

There are people still waiting from January, February, March, April and May , for a call for their Visa.

I don't understand why some get calls in 2 days and others in 4 months or more.

I really wish everyone the best of luck.

My Husband and I are still waiting for his interview call.

Happy Bird, Hoping75

It seems that women's cases are processed much quicker than men's for the most part. The women have much shorter interviews as well.

Hoping75 -- thanks for checking again for me. You singlehandedly keep my spirits up. Fingers crossed he gets a call next week.

Thanks again and take care,
Becca

I think the amount of travelling outside of morocco they've done and where they have gone also impacts the length of time as well.... my husband lived outside of Morocco for a number of years so security checks take a loooooooooooong time.

You are very welcome Becca

The person who received a call today was a man.

I will keep you posted every time there is any news.

I am so happy to be of any help.

Have faith, you will hear good news soon

 

[hoping75]

Hi Lois Lane,

The Pick up date for that man's Visa is May 28th


Good luck everyone

 

[Lois Lane]

Thanks Hoping75

My hubby had his interview May 13. Today the website shows for the first time Decision Made.

I thought I would really be excited and that all the stress would be lifted off my shoulders. But instead I'm feeling more anxious....what is the decision G*d D*m it!

Thanks Penny for starting this thread it's great!

The best of luck to each and everyone!

Hi Mariana,

I really hope you get good news.
The waiting and not knowing is torture I know.
This just waiting for my Husband to get his interview is starting to make me very anxious. I will hate it is it takes a long time to get the answer after the interview.

Let us know when you get the anwer.

Good luck
