Hi L, I will try and answer you as correctly as I know how. First of all, if the guy is bringing her here and he is not citizen, yet. He will have to wait before bringing her here. Not unless , the two of them apply for visa together. This for sure that there must be a sponsor in the country they are looking to enter, who is a citizen of that state. Willing to sponsor them or one of them.

There is possibility of her coming at later time after all papers are filed and processed. I do not think at this time that it matters about the cost of the wedding. Mind the cost of immigration papers. I think for him being the sole provider. It is probably hard on his family to see him leave. But at the same time, they are happy for him to probably find a better job and send them money. From what I know, most moroccan women want a man who has money. If this guy does not have money and her family does. It is rare to have this marriage take place. Their families might know one another, therefore, they will accept their daughter going to another country with him and living in conditions presented to her.

I do not know if I answered your question. I want to wish you well and hope all things work out for you. Good luck.
