Jason and Rania
Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
Was a horrible experience for us. First they gave us less then a weeks time to prepare, and we were scrambling to get all the paperwork together in time. When she finally went to the interview, she was questioned for hours about our relationship, and they finally put our case under review simple because the location of when I proposed to her was different from what I said. I said I proposed at the Pyramids, and she said while we were on a nile cruise... the only problem was that both were done on the same day, and the cruise was right after we went to the pyramids.
Anyway, they kept us without a response for 8 months, and did nothing with our case until we got fed up and hired a lawyer. Within three weeks of us filing for him to represent us, Rania got a call from the Embassy with more questions, mainly doubting that her parents were okay with our marriage, until they called her mother and spoke with her. Three weeks later, we finally get a call asking for her to redo her medical exam, criminal record, and send her passport to them and they were approving our visa. We haven't recieved it yet, but it appears as if after waiting for 2 years, we are finally going to be married! 
My advice to you is do NOT attempt to deal with the Embassy in Egypt alone. You will have a horrible experience.
