would this be a problem

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but idk where else it should go. My fiance just returned to Egypt after working in Saudi Arabia because his work visa expired. The timing actually worked out great, because the embassy has received our case and hopefully we will have an interview next month. His employer has sent him an offer letter inviting him to come back and work in KSA. My fiance's father is deceased, so right now he financially supports his family. Now that the interview is approaching he is getting nervous that the visa will be denied or he will be put into AP (which for Egypt is not uncommon), and will be stuck in Egypt without a way to help support his family. So he wants to process another work visa for KSA as a backup plan in case something goes wrong (and if something goes wrong we can work on our next step while he's in KSA). I don't feel the visa will be denied because I have provided a lot of evidence to support our relationship, but I think he is just stressing about it all now that its getting so close. I know he needs his passport for the interview, and he would have his passport back in time for this, but I'm wondering if the CO sees he was just issued a new work visa for KSA if it will raise any red flags or be a problem. If anyone has any information I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

Since his family's support is rightfully his primary concern, IMO, he should probably go ahead with the KSA work visa in the time being. A work visa outside of the US shouldn't hinder his ability to get the K1, and it's doubtful they'll even know he's applied for one. If they DID ask about it at the interview, he could explain the situation, just as you have, and tell them that he was simply trying to be prepared for the worst, should you guys be thrown into AP for an indefinite period of time, and he be forced to continue working there, and this was his contingency plan. That is a reasonable answer and would show them the amount of responsibility he is taking for his family.

My fiance is going ahead and extending his work visa in France before interview. Better safe than sorry. How easy is to get a work visa in the KSA? For example my fiance got contract extension and he will get his visa on passport the same day he request it. Hope all works out for you two

Thanks, and I hope everything goes well for you too

I don't think its very hard to get a work visa for KSA, last time they had it processed and completed in 2 weeks or maybe even less.
