Divorce in Egypt

[rc2008 0]

American that was married to an Egyptian and divorced in Egypt. Both Muslim. Married 2007. Divorced 2013.

Would the divorce be considered revocable? the divorce was done in the egyptian ministry of justice. But it was not translated into English.

The man in the court said it would be considered only as one divorce. Which means we could return.

We have a child together and are considering getting back together.

For the pruporse of immigration could we use our original marriage certificate?

When did the man in the court tell you that? In 2013, or recently?

In Egypt, don't you have to revoke the first divorce within 60-90 days, and if you don't then you would be considered legally divorced? In other words, you wouldn't be able to get back together without getting married again?

Under that scenario, you can't use the original marriage certificate if you are legally divorced in Egypt.

First to pursue any type of visa be it fiancee or spouse you must be in an actual relationship.

Now if you where divorsed its considered a divorse. I would re marry and show your previous marriage WITH A BRIEF STATEMENT....

In the US there have been people who marry divorse and re marry its not unheard of. I wouldnt think its a problem.

You can write a nice statement how you were married for what ever reason (i dont know which it was) you were divorsed but have since re kindled the relationship.

I honestly dont see it as a problem.

Thank you for the replies.

The man in the court said that in 2013.

Would it be better to call go through a fiancee visa or a spouse visa?

For the spouse visa I would have to travel to Egypt and do the marriage over.

For the fiancee visa we could remarry here.

Would the rule of having met each other in person within 2 years sitll apply? We had a bonafide marriage and lived together for 6 years in Egypt.

Yes you would have had to see them within 2 yrs from application date.

You'll still have to show proof of a current bonafide relationship- you can't rely on evidence from your past relationship. You have to focus on proving your reconciliation, and I would think that would include spending time together in person (post-divorce) along with continuing contact with one another. Looks like your divorce was finalized since it was so long ago by now. I don't know whether a fiancé visa would be approved in the long run since you've already been married to him before, but I do think you really really need to meet in-person and spend time with one another anyway in order to make sure giving your relationship another go will have different results than your last go-round with each other, so might as well meet in person and you could then get married and file.
