Welcome Jay

This is so transparent, it's laughable.

Your situation with Moroccan, waiter dude is like the prototype of all scammers. Sorry Jay but we're all familiar and have been warned about this lot.
He works in a tourist area, that's the first warning sign. It means he is well versed, schooled if you wish, in saying all the right things to vulnerable visitors.
Have you wondered how many other women he has tried this with? I promise, you are not the first and will not be the last. He probably has them lined up so he can collect from each.

You are not naive. You realize he is trying to get money out of you with all the stories. Obviously "the poor and working for a low wage" yarn did not do the trick. Now he has to turn up the pressure with his mom being sick. Haha! If I had a penny for every time I've heard this story.

He will suck you in, use you for a green card, empty your bank account, break your heart...because they don't know how to love. It's not part of their culture.
Don't trust his friends and family either...he might resort to bringing a family to plead his case. They are usually in on it because they will later benefit from the spoils and scarce benefits.

Please don't waste your time and visit this loser. You will regret it. There are so many more places to visit. This culture is not compatible with the west so I'd look elsewhere for love and romance.

You gut feelings led you here. Follow it.

Good luck Jay.
