Hello we are Anne and Aimad. I am from Usa and Aimad is from Casablanca. We are engaged to marry. I am hoping to obtain a K1 fiance visa for him to visit in the summer of 2019 to Florida. In the meantime we will purchase a condo in zip 20250 near his job.聽 I have a few questions. 1) do you think we can be approved for a K1 finance visa more than 1 time?聽 For example can he visit me to date for a few years, like every 6 months? What happens if we decide to delay the wedding past the 90 days? The court fees to marry in my state is a few hundred dollars and takes about 4 days. He just needs his passport and ID. We are planning to have a simple civil ceremony for immigration. The religious ceremony and family reception will be in a few years in both countries. 2) has any couple purchased property together in casablanca? i have been shopping online and I see the 12% closing costs and also mortgages for moroccans. Should we marry first or can we be business partners?聽 I have 3 breaks from work per year like a teacher, spring, summer and winter and I have a flexable job schedule where I can travel for 90 days. I plan to visit for the 1st time in 2019. I am just getting my passport. We have been engaged LDR since 2016.聽 I sold my home and car, placed things in storage and have rehomed my cats. I have applied for an extra back up creditcard. I am waiting to save more money and loose some weight. I have lost 20 pounds so far. I am an older and he is younger, neither has children or a previous life partner. I want to start a small business one day in Morocco so I am looking forward to us sharing time between both. I can rent an apartment or hotel in the meantime (probably won't stay with his family overnight). I also have an option to stop over in Istanbul to save $300 on airfaire trip. I have a friend in Turkey so I can have lunch or nap or sightsee. But the 1st trip will probably be a direct flight. I want to marry in usa because the laws are different than the mudwala. I have read the family code. Will we be bound by Moroccan laws if we have a foreign certificate of marriage? Like how Adultury is criminalized? I assume we take our marriage from FL to an embassy or government building to have it recognised. I am not against marriage in Morocco, as a second option. I am Unitarian Universalist and he is Muslim. I will not be converting but I will attend Mosques and I listen to the holy quoran and prayers. I am partial to leaving in the 2nd wife option if we marry in Muroc because I am age 40 and he is 23. 17 years age gap. I don't really want children of my own. So, if we marry in USA does this preclude him from being able to take a 2nd marriage in Morocco? I would give consent, if he is ready for a family and I am not able. He is not interested in polygamy at this time. It's sort of like surrogacy and family planning like a nanny. We havn't discussed it in detail about how we would share time. If he has a 2nd marriage I will probably remain celibate and like a step/god mother.聽 I'm being personal because maybe someone reading has a similar circumstance. Aimad has a full time job now but he was working part time last year. So we have to save up for all the expenses of immigration fees and we will buy a new car in each city.聽 I offered to pay for the majority of the costs because I earn a bit more and I was the one who proposed. Eventually he should have his work permit and earn more in USA hourly.聽 So we will have some businesses that give us flexability. I am studying Arabic and French in my free time, Darija.聽 I joined fb groups and read MurocMomma. I google articles when I feel like it. Spirituality is important to me, to have a spiritual connection. Marriage is a risk and a leap of faith. So, I am nervous alittle about being an immigrant in a strange place. But I live in S. fL where people come from all over and they survive. So, I just want to stay safe. Aimad did raise his voice over the phone a few times but I was able to communicate like an adult with patience. He will need time to mature and gain experience. So, I am excited. He is handsome and smart and funny and fashionable. Love is equal to respect. We have talked out about a few of the cultural differences, like sexism and gender roles and dominance.聽 I'm willing to make it work. So far he has hung in there, waiting. We almost broke up once or twice for like a half a day hahahaha.聽 But I always find a reason why I am happier pursuing this. It's pretty freaking cool actually. In 2015 I had zero idea my life was headed to Morocco. It was a pleasant surprise. We met on facebook by accident. Pure coincidence. We crossed paths and I was in love at 1st sight.聽 I put aside the excuses and I asked him out. Hhhh. And everytime I ask him if we will marry he always says yes.聽 So, failure isn't an option.聽 I have found my inner happiness and peace alone, but he makes life worth living.聽 I have no idea if we will end up happy ever after with the 4 kids he wants hahahaha. I will settle on 4 houses and 2 cats and 2 kids hahaha. It's funny because when I call him he says "Which City?" and it's gonna be like waking up and checking what country we are in today. Hhh. We will go to visit NY and LA. I have been but I will take him. We will go to Paris. But mostly I want to know who is a good Imam who can bless us?聽 Because it won't always be easy.聽 I have a referral to a family therapist that is trilingual. We will have a coach because then he can have someone to talk with. I have had counseling.聽 Just to have something to do to keep us in good communication and trust. We want to buy a 2 bedroom condo. Eventually I will buy a house and a commertial retail spot. But we should start with a 2 room apartment unit. How much are you guys paying in Casa?聽 He works in zip 20250. His family is in Ain Sebaa. I would like to live close to the airport if possible. We are looking to stay聽 around the Hassan Mosque area. I don't plan to wear a hijab but I like scarves and caftans. I don't want to stand out and look like an american tourist. I am thinking about buying those translation ear pieces. The bluetooths that speak from an app. Anyway... Goodnite. See you around. Oh I am considering dual citizenship because we might want to buy agricultural or farm land. Anyway- I'm going to make some Trader Joe's Moroccan Mint Green Tea hahaha. I wrote a book lol. 馃嚥馃嚘 馃嚭馃嚫
