Hello Everyone,

My fiance is from Egypt and we are trying to decide if we should be married there or should we file for a K1 visa and get married in the states Which one of these would be better for us. Of course we want to be together as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your help.

If it's the same guy, which we assume it is since it's been like 3 weeks, then please read your own post and think about it.

Yes thank you everyone! I believed it to be fake! I will admit I did a lot of stupid things with him because I was in love! No I definitely do not want to be with him! I am ashamed for sending my passport to this man, who obviously just a scam artist! Yes I think he chickened out on me at the last minute.. But to his gain he received money for a hotel room and other things.. Again I am more than embarrased that I was taken in by his false promises and obvious lies!! I am glad to know this is a fake document. (No I was not there to give it to him, the fingerprint it is obviously someonelse. So given it is a fake I feel that there is nothing he could do.. Examples being he and his family could emigrate to the US.. Thanks so much for all you input and advise!! Just as help to anyone else who faced this, I am reporting him to the Western Union Fraud department for falsely promising me a hotel room for my stay there!

Bottom line I learned a difficult lesson and will never do that again! Thank you everyone
