[shady28 0]

hello vj members, i have a question and i'm kind of worried about it and i need your help and advice and i will be greatful to ur responses. i am from egypt and i and my fiancee are preparing to send the k-1 package soon and my concern is about the current job in the biographic form and the forms i will receive from the embassy later to fill inshallah as i'm working in a trading company now for the past 6 months and in my id and passport the profession there is my graduation degree and not my current job and as you know the situation for the papers in egypt they wont change my id to my current job unless the company approve to give me papers to change my job from my degree in the id to the company work and i tried to speak with the manager and they kind of refusing to give any papers or to do insurance. so my question is will it be a problem in the papers or in the interview later regarding this matter that my passport profession is just my degree and not stating the job i'm doing right now do i have to change it to other occupation or just leave it as it is and it wont be a problem later. i would appreciate ur help and ur experience in this matter.

thank you in advance

No, it will not be a problem. My husband's id and passport both say he is a student. By the time we applied for his visa he had been finished with school for 6 years. He had already had 3 jobs by then but never had his id changed to reflect his occupation.

My husband is also from Egypt.

You're welcome!

We've been married for 8 years, long before the revolution. He's been in the US almost 7 years now.

I feel like processing goes through phases. When we went through immigration it was taking a long time to process for some people. Then a couple years later it was going faster. Now it seems slow again.

My fiance was worried about that too and went to a lot of work to get an updated ID and updated passport before we turned in his paperwork. I didn't see why it was a big deal, but it's done now. I think it's probably more of an issue for visitor visas than family visas.
