Can you claify... take her 'back' to Egypt? As in she's in the US now, and they applied for a K1?

Its not exactly clear what you are asking. But you can cancel a previous K-1 petition and file a K-3 visa. As far as speed, its not really any faster. The disadvantage is he would now have to start over.

The answer is yes. However, this will cost time, not save it.

It is not clear to me just who is the fiance. Are both parties already in the USA? If so, wouldn't they both go back to Egypt to get married? The'll marry sooner if they go to Egypt to marry. The fiance will have a visa sooner if they let the K1 continue.

For example, let's say they filed the K1 petition April 1. It's moving right along at a snail's pace but they decide to go to Egypt and marry May 15. The US Citizen then returns to the States and files an I-130, say May 30th, waits for NOA1 and files the I-129F for K3 about June 15. They've lost the time between April 1 and June 15.

What is the priority? Is it early marriage or being together in the USA together permanently?

MichaelGhabour,

What you describe is quite acceptable. My wife and I did it.

Except that getting a K-3 or CR-1 out of Cairo might be difficult if you aren't already married!!! Notice this latest info posted on the consuls website regarding getting married in Egypt!!! The Egyptian government is apparently having a problem with the paper that is given out by the U.S. to prove that the USC is eligible to get married:

Yep. According to the Cairo U.S. Embassy website, Americans cannot marry Egyptians in Egypt at this time. He may be better off waiting out his K1. Just takes patience.
