Hello!

I asked a question about my Egyptian fiance completing his military time before the K1 Visa paperwork gets to him in Egypt....now I have another question....

He has studied and filled out paperwork to be a judge in Egypt. Supposedly, this is a pretty high position there, and he is doing all this while I am getting ready to start the fiance paperwork. Will this cause problems with the screening process? I ask because he had to pay money to file the paperwork for the position as a judge. He says he is doing this so his family will not be upset with him leaving Egypt to come here after all his hard work and studies, and to me, it would raise a red flag to the process......because, why would he bother to file that paperwork and apply to be a judge if he is filing a K1 fiance visa? Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I asked a question about my Egyptian fiance completing his military time before the K1 Visa paperwork gets to him in Egypt....now I have another question....

He has studied and filled out paperwork to be a judge in Egypt. Supposedly, this is a pretty high position there, and he is doing all this while I am getting ready to start the fiance paperwork. Will this cause problems with the screening process? I ask because he had to pay money to file the paperwork for the position as a judge. He says he is doing this so his family will not be upset with him leaving Egypt to come here after all his hard work and studies, and to me, it would raise a red flag to the process......because, why would he bother to file that paperwork and apply to be a judge if he is filing a K1 fiance visa? Thanks in advance!

We are already married and are filing for a CR1 Visa, which for Egypt typically takes 6 - 12 months. I am unaware of the normal wait time for a K1 Visa; but I advise to take a two-pronged approach considering the big unknown as to what President Elect Trump will do in regards to immigration once he takes office on January 20th.

1. Continue to plan your future in the U.S.

2. He should go forward with his career in Egypt as long as he doesn't have to commit to a specific length of time for employment. This can only improve his employment chances once he is in the U.S.

Overall, I always go with my gut. If you feel this is going to hurt your chances you may want to speak to a lawyer on this particular topic.

I hope others will chime in on their experiences for you also....Good Luck!
