Just wanted to let everyone know that a friend of mine in Canada married to a Moroccan lady has finally heard back from Canadian consulate. Rabat started processing his spouse application on Novemver 8. They get the call on April 8, and interview is scheduled for April 28. Cheers...

Thanks avryone its good to have friends :-)

Thanks for the good luck wishes.  My houbi just arrived in Rabat a few minutes ago.  I am hoping I will have some sort of news in the next 12 hours or so.  I am keeping my fingers crossed.  I will post more details when I know more.

Isabelle/Boubaker:  Congrats to Boubaker on his job and please wish him a happy birthday!!  And I am completely jealous of any garden plans.  I have a small balcony where I was going to do mint and tomatoes, but with my luck, my building is a leaky condo and my entire balcony is being covered and being redone.  So there goes any chance of a garden for this year!!!

Cindy and Raven/Boras:  I really hope the visas come through soon.  This is absolutely ridiculous.  Raven - I really hope you hear something soon from your MP.  I really thought they were really good at getting things moving.

Penny:  Were you able to find a place here in Vancouver?  Any bites on your house?  Please keep me updated.  I am hoping maybe later this summer, that I can host a friends of Morocco night - maybe at the Marrakech Express restaurant. And get all us BC people together!!

Take care,
Becca

I am sorry guys I do not have good news to report. 

My husband did the interview.  He had a short interview with the Moroccan woman, then followed by the canadian woman.  He said everything was going fine and the mood was fine and then everything changed, the canadian woman got all strange and then asked my husband why I paid for the apartment rental when I was there in January.  My husband pointed out our great wage disparity and said that he payed as much as he could for everything else.  Our apartment rental was $1800.  - the reason was that I wanted a washer/dryer/bathtub, I wanted to be in a really good neighbourhood.  These were my choices, but clearly my choices are being held against him.  All the other questions were as posted here in the past.

They kept all the paperwork that he brought with him.   They would not give him a response at this time.  They said that they will call him in the next week to let him know their decision.

I hate this stuff.  I have known my husband for 2.5 years.  This is not some flash in the pan romance.   If our relationship was not real, why would we be in it for 2.5 years?  That does not make sense.

So here I am in tears, not sure I can face the alternatives if we are denied.

I am sick about the fact they did not give him our papers back.  I am sick that they do not believe our relationship is valid because I paid for an apartment when I was there in January.  This is absolutely heart-breaking.   If I was a man and my husband was a woman and the man paid for the apartment, this wouldn't even be questioned.  I am sick that they can not see that our relationship is bonafide.  What did we do wrong?  What did the people who had their answers at the end of the interview do right?

Sadly and in tears at 5am in the morning
Becca

I'm sorry also Raven

I saw where Boras posted on the other forum asking if anyone else had a second interview.

I truly wish you both the best.

Maaaaaaaaan this suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks....(think 3 year old whining and stomping feet and that's me)

What's the hold up!?  Why make us suffer needlessly!?  I mean come ON!!  This is ridiculous!  Why drag on this last step for months?

Sorry for whining in the forum but it's about all I'm good for at this point.  That and mopping(spelling??) around the office like a sad puppy dog.  Yeah I'm pitiful.....but this SUCKS HUGE!

Just keeps going and going and no end in sight.   I know when the end isn't that's about it, it's not this week.  Not with a stat tomorrow.  :( :( :( :( :( And we thought we were sooo close to being together when he had his interview....

Raven and I should get together for a pouting session. lol

Cindy

Waiting too,

Good luck tomorrow. I'm sure everything will go well.

God bless

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh I wish I could give you all a Hug.... I pray this will change....soon!!!!!!!!!

Waiting Too

A biggggggggggggggggggggg Congratulatons.

I am so Happy for you.

I hope you get your Visa very soon.


Welcome to CANADA

God bless

Sorry it has been awhile since I have posted anything but nothing new to tell on my end still waiting.  Congrates to all that have finally gotten their interviews and to those that have recieved their visas.  I am truely happy for you all.  And I agree that all this waiting is getting bad and they just don't seem to care that they have someones lives in their hands when they are looking at our files we are all just numbers to them.  I can't believe what they are doing to some of the men in the interviews that is just crazy.  I just wish I could afford to go back and see my husband for a visit I miss him so much, this internet marriage just is not doing the trick when you want nothing more than to hold the one you love.  Good luck to all and my prayers are with you all.  Take care hope to hear more good news soon.

Hi Raven,

I'm sure you will get a call with good news any minute now.

Your Husband will be with you soon. I wish you all the best, and that Rabat hurries up to Give your Husband his Visa

Welcome iqualuit

My Husband's papers started in Rabat on Dec 12th so we are close in time.

The question about waiting to pay the PR fee, it said in the application that it can delay the process by 2 months if it is not paid up front. I remember reading that and saying that I was not willing to have to wait one more day than I had to. So I paid it at the same time.

My Husband has not received his call yet either. Your Husband should get his call in May according to the current tomelines that I have seen.

Good luck, and I hope you hear good news soon.

Hi Iqaluit,

It would be really nice if they both get their calls at the same time.

A far as the MSN  conversations I sent between 10 and 15 conversations for each month with the application. My Husband also printed all of the ones that I sent, plus  10 to 15 for each month since I sent the application. The embassy really wants proof that your relationship has continued since the Marriage.

We also sent and have the phone bills, Emails, mailed letters, and more pictures.
We also have picture of the computer screen when we were chatting with each other.

Maybe it's over kill, but I would rather have too much than not enough. Some people send just a few, others take alot. I guess it's a personal decision.

You can just Email the conversations, and he can print them there. It would cost alot less because of the shipping costs.

I pray that our Husbands get their calls soon.

Good luck to you
