How long does the process take to petition your alien spouse from Morocco to the States using the I-130?

Assuming the petitioner is an American citizen, the IR-1 petition can take up to a year from the time it is filed in the US through USCIS, to the time it goes through the National Visa Center to the US consulate in Casablanca, before the interview takes place and the visa is issued. There are lots of variables, including how long it takes the petitioner to respond to the NVC's request for an Affidavit of Support and how long it takes the spouse to fill out the forms sent out by the consulate and get the police clearances and other things.





Assuming the petitioner is a legal permanent resident, the petition isn't valid for at least 5 years, then you would have to add the processing time at the NVC and the consulate.How long does the process take to petition your alien spouse from Morocco to the States using the I-130?

It takes at least 6-8 months to a year or could be longer.





The process is the same as for a citizens of any other countries. You, as a US citizen spouse, shall file the I-130 with the appropriate USCIS Service Center in the USA. When it is approved (in a several months), they will forward it to the NVC. Then NVC will ask you for the affidavit of support. Then they will send the case to the US embassy in Morocco. As to how long it currently takes in Morocco, you can see at the appropriate US embassy's website.
Since his there probably 1 year or more. If he would have been here only 5 months.
