residency and eventual citizenship thru our marriage. I think it is only fair
that I be able to do the same. (at least I would get something).
His rights and privileges that he has gained thru our marriage are pretty good.
So, I am deserving.
I would like to ask husband to do this for me.

You go girlfriend! You gonna get a whole bunch of rights in Morocco












BTW, as Ma Li Ka has pointed out, you know that you can lose your American citizenship. Whatever floats your boat

weird Because a Moroccan Husband CAN NOT transmitt Citizenship to an Algerian wife . MY algerian friend has been married for 30 years , in casablanca . she was Born in Morocco too. she is still Algerian. the other day he decided to check a college in France for his son , he had a visa to go to France , 3 kids too but his wife did not get a visa (no reason explained , it is a luck ) so she was stuck at home while they had a short holiday . i found that disgusting . because people stay in UK or Canada 5 years and they get the citizenship , but if you are Born in An arab country it does not count . such a shame .

That's odd. So your friend is married for 30 years with an Algerian lady.
That means the Algerian lady was born before 1965, right? If she is born before that year she may be eligible for French citizenship if her parents took any effort to get it. As you may know, Algeria used to be an overseas "departement" from France. Any Algerian born before 1965 was considered French. So she may want to give that a go and look into it.
I know a Moroccan Algerian woman from Oujda who got her French citizenship back in the late nighties when she found out she was entitled to it.

As for the citizenship, like I stated in the past (I am Ma_li_ka, I just forgot my password and my email@ wasn't valid anymore .. BUMMER! ), it is almost an impossibility to become Moroccan through "naturalisation". Personally I don't see the big deal when you are living outside of Morocco, because who wants that green passport anyway? I am happy I got rid of mine!
But when you are living in Morocco it can really be a hassle. Not so much for the example you have given, but more in a reverse situation. Imagine if the man would be Algerian, his kids would not be considered Moroccan while they were born an raised in the country. Basically you don't have much rights then.
But it is possible though: it just takes a long way and lots of money.
But I guess if you can travel with kids to France for a vacation, you have that kind of money.
