Rating:  | Review Topic: K1 Visa
My finance is from South Sudan and we were directed to the consulate office in Egypt. My fiance arrived in Egypt 4 months before we were finally approved. After many letters and emails he was finally given an interview date. Letters were written by my local congressman here in the USA and for months the only response received was that the case was pending. Thank God the Interview came when it did, I don\\\'t think my finance would have made it another month in Cairo. At the interview, he stated the the consulate was very nice, asked him about our relationship and details of my last visit to Cairo. Fortunately, my husband and I met in Sudan 2 1/2 years prior to the interview and had seen one another on various occasions After the interview with the consulate, he was told that he would get his visa and to have a seat. When he was called back up, he was told by another lady that he was being placed in administrative processing and that he should begin checking the website after 30 days. This was a big blow, because we thought he would get his visa immediately. After several more letters from the congressman and emails from me, we were finally told that his Visa was approved and we should be receiving it shortly. After two weeks we demanded his passport back so that he could await the Visa in another Country at that time we were told that his passport and visa had been sent two weeks prior to Sudan. Wow, what a mistake, at no time did he request that his visa be sent to Sudan. After tracking down the Visa, we had it sent overnight back to Cairo and my fiance was on the plane to the USA the next day. Three days after arriving in the States we were married and he has taken his Biometrics for employment. We have been told that it will take approximately 4 months for his Green Card. The entire process too one year and one month from the date of application for a k1 visa. It also cost approximately $10000.
