married... but not legal

[A&D=<3 0]

A friend of mine is afraid to ask this question.. and this is STRICKLY for EGYPT!!!

What if you married your habeby........... with the Egyptian Ministry (legal court) not private or civil ceremony... and, you were not divorced for 90 days as required by Egyptian law. However you hired lawyer ($5,000 EP) and you realized... later the marriage license says you were never married.. (the wife) but., she was... and of course the whole 90 day thing............. then you file FIANCE visa........... because you know the marriage license is not valid.............

Does the Egyptian embassy have the capability to see if your "habeby" is married to you?

Gawd I feel for this girl.......... she is freaking out... and I have no idea what to say to her..

As always............. any advice is greatly appreciated!!

well i'm kinda confused do you mean that she got married with the egyptian misistry of justice in egypt

which mean she went to the usa embassy in cairo and she got the marriage form and then they went to the egyptain ministry of justice to get married?

#2 to get married in egypt please note that if you are a female American citizen previously married, you may only remarry in Egypt at least 90 days after your divorce or 130 days after the death of your former spouse. If you are pregnant, you can only remarry after the birth of the baby.

so she was divorced and remarried before the 90 days yes?

i have been thinking if she went to the usa embassy in cairo and she got the marriage form and then they went to the egyptain ministry of justice to get married so why the marriage license is not valid ??

The US Embassy was not issuing the Marriage "form" that is why they hired a lawyer. They were married in the Ministry's office, and the lawyer told the ministry she was never married, and in reality she was divorced, but, by only one week. (I guess she was having trouble getting the divorce)

yeah thats what i thought

we had that problem when my fiancee was here in Egypt last time .

the USA embassy was not issuing the Marriage "form"

and the only way to get married (legally) for the USA embassy is by them (the form)

and i know how Egyptian lawyers used americans to get thier money they just care about money .

i really don't know what to say

its illegal marriage and she can't file for k3 visa

so the only way is k1 visa

but if the USA embassy find out that she was lieing she would end up in jail so sad to say that just want to be honest .(remember thats what they will tell you when you will file for the visa )

i don't know if the USA embassy have the capability to know if you are married or not

but i'm sure they are not stupid there and they are so smart

and yeah i remember something

there is a couple here in visa journey and they were married like your friend

and the USA embassy asked her fiance (are you married her when we were not issuing the form?) and he said yes . and then the guy who was interviewting her fiance said well .ok. i just want to make sure that you say the truth and it wont affect on your k1 visa and he got his visa and now he is in USA

good luck and best wishes for her and for ya
