Congratulations on your visa approval. We are very happy for you.

About the military, there is no rule that says an egyptian man married to a non-egyptian woman will be exempt from military. He will go through alot of investigation, to see whether or not the marriage is real. If they are not convinced, they will make them serve. If the wife lives with the husband from the day they get married, its ALOT easier to be exempt, because thats what they consider to be a real marriage. If the wife travels back to live in her country, they see it as a marriage to get out of military service, and they will make the husband serve.

Even if you stay with your husband, and do everything right, there is still no guarantee that he will be exemp from the military. It really depends on how satisfied the investigators are. And even if he is exempt, it will be a longggg drawn out process.

My husband was exempt from military. I lived in egypt since june 25th 2008, we got married on Oct. 13th. It still took him 6 months to recieve the actual papers exempting him from military. So prepare for a long ride.

Theres also alot of cases here on VJ where the husband has had to serve out his full military service. :( However unfortunate, it happens alot, and its something you should prepare for, especially if you cant stay in egypt with your husband.

This is what I thought you were saying, that's why I asked for clarification. I don't know where you are getting your information from, but that information is wrong. Egyptian men married to non-Egyptian women DO have to complete military service if they are otherwise obligated. This MENA/VJ family just witnessed Olivia's wait for her own Egyptian husband to complete his service. Go back to the person who told you this and tell them they are wrong, wrong, wrong because they are wrong.

ok maybe i am wrong .maybe u r wrong
