Yes, one afternoon. A hearing lasts around 4 hours. We have one month to prepare the book, to build our case as it must be received at least one month before the hearing date. You cannot imagine the roller-coaster of emotions I am going through now. And if we lose? How can I leave for Morocco? Better yet... if we win? It will be the most wonderful summer ever in Morocco!
Oh my Habibti! I can imagine the roller coaster!! You have a lot of proof built up to support your relationship. Wishing you the best!

So still waiting. We are officially past the 8 month mark now.

I have been so depressed lately... so concerned about what is going to happen. It has been dabilitating ... I can't eat and I have holidays coming up and I can't even imagine enjoying it.

What steps can I take from here now that we have passed 8 months. Should I email the embassy? Would they even respond? Should I contact immigration here? Would they know anything? I am sure I have seen it a thousand times here but my brain is so muddled at the moment.

I really hope that everyone is successful in either their appeals or in getting their spouses here this year. There is so few people that can relate to what I am going through. So I appreciate you all very much.

Hey Dair, we went by the time it said when we applied, which was 10 months. It seems to fit our waiting times. As for the medical...it took 42 days to hear a response from Rabat that they received it.

Its tough waiting and sure takes a toll on us.

I hope you hear something soon!!!

The problem is we don't have any idea when the Dr sent the medical and my husband refused to take the receipt to the embassy because in the letter he got from them it says to take the letter to the Dr that is doing the medical and they will fill it out and send it to the embassy and that is how they find out it was done. So I have no timeframe to go by. There is no specific date I can count from. Infact I have no idea if the medical is really sent yet or not. Though I cannot imagine he is still holding onto it as he IS a DMP on their list... so he must have some credibility I would hope ???

Hi djinna,

Yes I have received this same message from them. Basically it means that if you do not hear from them within 5 business days that you can find the information you requested on their website. This is just a form response that everyone gets when they email them.

I never ended up getting a response from them. They simply mailed the letter we asked about to my husband. Which is why I am frustrated with them... they could simply have said they sent the letter and to watch for it in the mail. Instead we sat there not knowing what to do for 2 weeks. So incredibly frustrating.

I have contacted my MP's office and they are going to make an inquiry for me. I don't know if it will do any good but at least it will show that we are not just sitting here doing nothing.

Here's hoping they are able to get some information.

ahhhhhhhh thank you, i didnt know that and i was so happy -.-
i hope we will get a positive answer very soon
usually morrocan say it takes 6 month . lots of people told me that and someone brought his wife in 6 month! if its more then there is a problem... i hope the agent will work and won't let our file sleep on the desk...... on the french forum site, someone had a call to give more proof and 2 month after he got his visa. i think he send his file on august or november... anyway we will have to wait... each case is different...

good luck :)

I am not sure where the 6month figure comes from but that is actually quite fast for Rabat and even though some have made it through that quickly.... the majority is longer.

It is a gruelling process that I don't wish on anyone.

hello All:

hoping someone can help me..
does anyone know how long it takes for the canadian embassy in rabat to offer an appointment for a temporary visa to canada? my boyfriend is in rabat and he is going to try to get a visitor visa. the website says that you have to send them an email to obtain an appointment and then you can go submit your application. but how long does it take to get this appointment? someone told him that it can take a month to just get an appointment to go submit your application??!!! and then the processing times?
that sounds a little too much, but i am not sure. is there any moroccan out here who has been through this? not sponsorship - TRV to canada, just to come visit.

any help is appreciated!
regards

Hello,

To be honest , getting a visitor visa is very difficult from Morocco.
Your boyfriend would have to show some very strong ties to Morocco that will show that he will return to Morocco after the visit. He would need a good sum of money in his bank account for several months, and the evidence of how he got the money, he would also need a really good paying job that he would be returning to, as well as a house that he owns would really help.
There are those that have all that evidence , and they still get refused because they are considered a risk of not returning to Morocco.
You can give it a try, but the odds are really against him I'm afraid.

Good luck

Yes, hoping75 is right I think. If I remember well, my husband in 2008 (we were not married at the time) wanted to come as a visitor. He had to have a great sum of money in the bank account, a steady job for the past 2 years or registered in a university... something like that.
