You can get all the information you need from the British Embassy website in Morocco. Don't take any notice of what 'Dubb' posted on here. It is is ridiculous and not relevant to you, epecially as he /she has given no explanation, and also seems to have had some problems convincing the the UK authorities that a genuine application was being made.Not surprising, as there are millions of people trying to get into the UK by any means they can. Many think that marrying a UK citizen can get them them in, but they are wrong. Marriage alone will NOT get them in to settle here. For example, If a British citizen marries overseas,the first question the UK authorities might be interested in, is why they can't stay where they are, in the country of the foreign spouse.
However, you have not stated whether you want to visit, or whether you want to move to the UK permanently. If you want to visit, you will be no different to millions of others who visit the UK every year. You will need to prove that you have sufficient funds to pay for your travel, and the whole period of your stay in the UK. You will also be expected to provide evidence that you have a good reason to return to your own country at the end of your visit. For example, that you are employed there, and have a job and home to return to. That can be in the form of a letter from your employer.If you are independently wealthy, you will have to prove it. Either way, it is not difficult.
If you want to settle in the UK, that is a different matter entirely, but you can still find all the information you need on the British Embassy website, together with links from which you can download the official application forms for spouse and children. For settlement, you will need to show that you either have SUBSTANTIAL cash funds, enough to cover your family costs in the UK for at least a year, or alternatively that one of you has a firm job offer in the UK, evidenced by a signed contract,and that the salary is sufficient to maintain your family without you or your family becoming a burden on the UK government. The stay of the foreign spouse in the UK will be temporary for a period(at present) for a period of at least 5 years, and possibly longer. If you have been legally married and resident abroad for a period of longer than 4 years, you may have an advantage, because there is a provision for the 'temporary' residence to be waved in such cases,and permanent residence granted immediately.
Your children are entitled to British citizenship if one of their parents is British. If you have not registered their births at the British Embassy or nearest British Consulate, it is not too late, and the British citizen spouse should do so immediately. All that is needed is the local birth certificates, and the British spouse's passport and marriage certificate. The Embassy/consulate can then issue Consular birth certificates, and you can apply for British passports for the children, which would of course mean that they could enter the UK freely at any time.
You do have an alternative.The British spouse could return to the UK, find a job and somewhere to live, and then sponsor the foreign spouse to immigrate.
As I wrote earlier, this is the PRESENT situation, but the UK government has already announced its intention to introduce new rules to severely restrict immigration into the UK. In fact it already has done, with respect to non UK/EU citizens working in the UK. The responsible government minister has also announce the intention to put an annual limit on all immigration categories including those for settlement. As the annual limits will be only a fraction of recent annual numbers, once the annual limit has beeen reached,even those approved for settlement will have to go on a waiting list. To prevent a sudden rush of applicants, the UK government will impose temporary limits until permanent ones can be decided.
So if you are elligible to come to the UK, I advise you apply as soon as possible, or you may have a long wait.
