US Immigration from Egypt

Hello guys , I need some help here about my story ,

in 2016 i entered the US with K1 visa , and stayed there for 1Month cause we had a problem together

in 2017 she came to egypt and we got married cause the consular revoked my visa and refused to give another one to enter the states again

we applied for a Spouse Visa and after we got the NVC letter to pay and complete the paperwork , i found out that i cant travel to USA cause i have school and Army urgent

Now after 5 years could we complete the case again and is it possible to get the visa she didnt visit me within this period ? and how my status will be? thanks in advance

I have a bit of a confusing issue, so I ll try to make it as clear as possible. I m a US citizen, and have been living/married in Egypt for 2 years(husband is Egyptian). We will apply for the I-130 in Egypt via online. The issue is, all my husbands documents, passport, marriage certificate etc have his old address on it, not the one we ve been living at. This is due to the fact most Egyptians don t update their address on all their documents when they move because it s a nightmare.

When I filed my 2021 taxes I put our current address not the address that s on all our documents. My husband received his passport June 2022(after I filed my taxes), and it has his old address. This looks fishy as the addresses don t match up with documents/ timeline of when we got married. I defiantly don t want it to seem like we re being fraudulent, but I feel it s going to send red flags. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Hello everyone,

I ve been digging in past posts and figured that the procedure was different than it is now, like

1- some people used to call it case complete instead of documentarily qualified, and you d get interview date even if your documents are not okay.
2- send packages before the interview of documents instead of uploading it before in CEAC where NVC revises them and make sure they are okay or send RFE

3- alot of people got yellow slips for documents that NVC now doesn t give you a DQ if you don t upload them.

Does that mean that some people used to have interview when their documents weren t really ready and wasn t revised?

And with the new system do we except better interview timing and faster process?

Hello all

Just wanted to share my situation and ask all you experienced folks on what to do!

Case:

- I m DQed in 30/6/2023, waiting for interview in Cairo Embassy for Spouse visa.

- My wife she s American and she s going to be there starting from August.
- She s pregnant and this is our first baby, she s 4 months now and her due is in Dec-Jan.
- She s going to stay with her sister and family, her mother has Parkinson s (stage four) so her sister will mainly take care of her mother.

- I ve sent an email to NVC to expedite the case, attached pregnancy reports and scan and her mother Parkinson report and we said that I need to be there to take care of my wife during her last months and during labor.

- They replied they can t expedite this case .

- Cairo Embassy is heavily occupied, people are saying i ll wait for more than 6 months to just get an interview date (currently sending interview letter to people who are DQed in Feb 2023), and Sudan Embassy cases I think have been moved also to Cairo Embassy.

Question; Should I push back? Send to the embassy asking for a reason? Send to the congressmen to seek his help?

Or it might frustrate them, like okay we ll expedite it but hey you re refused (during the interview) and i lose all hopes of reuniting with my family so better just stay quiet so I don t upset them with me going to other resources of help like the congressmen and so on?

Sorry if It s long, but I just wanted to make sure I did everything I could for my family.

I see a lot of people saying they are asked for a joint sponsor even when they are making more than the income requirements. I don t really have anyone I know that would be willing to be a joint sponsor in my case. Im not at nvc yet but I m just thinking ahead of what s to come. Im employed and work extra hours every month to assure my w2/tax transcript reflects enough to qualify for a sponsor. Will the consulate look at paystubs and take the extra hours into account? Or do they just look at the tax transcripts? By the time we get to the consulate, the two most recent transcripts will be above income requirements but the third might not.
