About to Start the K-1 Visa Process, but have some questions, someone help please :)

Hey Guys!

I was hoping someone could help me out here.

I am going to start applying for the K-1 Visa Process soon, but had some questions first.

My fiance is finishing up college in about a year or so, and will have to possibly go into the mandatory military service program.

Is it possible to apply for a K-1 Visa during this time? Any recommendations?

I would love all the help I could get.

Thank you so much!

i think in this situation it's still early to start now.wait like 5 or months and then start it

Thank you for your reply.

Might ask as to why I should wait, just so I have a better understanding?

Thank you again!

because if you apply now the visa will be ready in 6 or 8 months and then he need to leave Egypt 6 months after the day in wich the visa was delivered and if he doesnt the visa will not be valid anymore...you said that he is studying so maybe he will need more than one year to finish

That completely makes sense.

But, I am more concerned with the Military aspect.

Has anyone else had to deal with this, or have any suggestions?

Thanks again!

Would love all the help I could get!

i dont know how it works there in egypt in this bad situation but from what i know in Tunisia he can show them that he is student and then he will not be concerned by the military service

to help you better , I need to know when exactly he will finish his college , and what field he is enrolled in and when he is due to apply for the army ,this will give better idea for decision . Egypt strictly do NOT allow students to travel once they are in the final year in college. you have two options here :

option one ( spousal visa CR1 ) : this is a trail that might or might not work , but if it worked,you both will save the period he will spend in the army which may take up to 3 years. get married in Egypt as soon as you can ,certify the contract in Egypt ,this will give him a very big chance to be exempted from the army ( as being married to foreign wife ) if you want to do him this BIG favor, and he should owe you this all his life ,but still not 100% guaranteed. so then whether he got exempted or not ,go ahead with spousal visa (CR1) which takes a bout a year( if his service will be one year ,not 3) . thats my personal opinion.

the other option ( k1 fiance visa ) : you both need to wait till you know how long he will serve in the army (1 or 3 years) because if the visa issued,it's only valid for 6 months,then you should start the process a while before the end of his service and also because he will need to send his end of service certificate along with the papers in packet 3 to the embassy .

you can PM me if you dont wont to post personal info on here or if you need more help

good luck for both of you
