Same-Sex K1 for Egyptian Fiancé

[wcoskrey 0]

My petition for the K1 has been approved, and we are about to schedule his interview, but some Egyptian attorneys have told him that he may encounter problems when he tries to leave Egypt with the fiancé visa stamped in his passport, because the visa will show my full name, making it obvious that he is emigrating to marry another guy.

Does anyone know of any Egyptian same-sex K1 holders who have left Egypt with no problems?

Thanks.

Ya the petitioners name is not on the visa, it is in the packet but that stays with you until you reach border control in the US.

I agree why would it have your partner's name on it? Whoever told you that is full of #######.

Actually I just checked my K1 and it has a line labelled petitioner and then his full name is listed.

If Egyptian authorities don't ask, then don't tell.

Also, don't forget to get stamped off clearing him of leaving the country by the Egyptian Military.

Not sure what you mean by "get stamped off clearing him of leaving the country by the Egyptian Military." Is that something over and above the examination of his passport by Egyptian Immigration as he leaves?

Just checked my Wife's K1 visa issued September 2015 and it is only her name on the visa.

Mine had my fiancé's name too. It said something like "K1 to be married to (fiancé's name) only".

My name was on the visa in my wife's passport - also a K-1.

Why are Egyptian attorneys involved? There is no need for them.

that he may encounter problems when he tries to leave Egypt with the fiancé visa stamped in his passport, because the visa will show my full name, making it obvious that he is emigrating to marry another guy.

By whom? Airport personnel? For sure not at POE here in the States.
