Sharra if you were smart, you would know when you marry a Moroccan or a foreigner, you can't just get on a plane together and head home to the US. What do you mean a woman claims to be married and you say it is TWISTED. Nothing about separation is twisted Sharra. Its called IMMIGRATION process of waiting at least 5 months for the USCIS just to open your case, another couple weeks for them to fwd it to national Visa Center (NVC)and a week to send it to the embassy in Morocco and another 1-2 months waiting for the interview/medical exam at the US consulate in Morocco so maybe 8 months if you are a born US citizen filing a petition for alien relative (spouse).

Sharra, do your homework. The married couples are not separated because they want to be. The Us women have jobs and families and also you can't quit your job and you should make close to $40,000 a year to be safe on the government allowing your husband to come to the US depending on how many people you claim on income tax returns and it is according to the US Poverty guidelines. If I quit my job and wait abroad for my husband to be approved, I would lose my job and how would either of us return to the US ? Also, the women have to file and sign off on an Affidavit of support form which says until your husband can work and pay 40 credits in, you may be held responsible for him to keep him off government assistance. That is equal to about 10 years. Do you think if I had any doubts about my husband I would be so stupid to do this Sharra? My husband is a good man. I would bet my life and kids life on it. I am this sure Sharra.
