Was the divorce in the absence of your wife i.e. you were not both resident in Egypt? If so, this could be the problem. Was your ex-wife properly notified? Officially?

For immigration purposes, you cannot divorce a US Citizen in your home country when you both reside in the US.  You have to file divorce in US Courts.  Therefore, they deem divorce invalid.

I strongly suggest you get a competent attorney to guide you and answer your questions. From your communication skills or lack thereof, I am of the opinion you’re not the kind of applicant who should be handling these things yourself.

People here can and will help, but we are limited by your lack of info in your posts.  It sounds like you have married someone in Egypt without having legally divorced your American wife?   

 

If that is the case, nothing can be done until you obtain that divorce decree from a US court.  There is simply no way around that, as bigamy is illegal throughout the USA.  

 

I agree that you probably need a lawyer - if anything, to help mitigate the language barrier.  Lawyers are expensive - there is no way around that. You may need to stay and work in Egypt until you have enough money to pay for legal fees.

I read through your post history and want to confirm- you filed the 360 and then had an interview in the US right?  And you did this divorce in Egypt prior to the 360 approval?  The main thing you need to understand is you can only live (be a resident of) one place at a time. You can NOT be eligible to file for divorce in Egypt because you are a resident there and at the same time be eligible for 360+485 approval in the US because you are residing there. Does that make sense?  So most likely you were NOT living in Egypt when you divorced but you were there as a visitor.

 

Also you stated you did not use a lawyer. An appeal to the BIA usually requires a lawyer and its unlikely you put together a compelling legal brief on your own. It also seems based on what you posted that you have no basis to win the appeal. An attny would have to review your exact dates and documents to see if your divorce was valid and if it was prepare a brief explaining why it is valid. People can do BIA appeals on their own if the denial was clearly incorrect and all thats needed to prove so is the BIA reviewing the documents. This is not your case....

 

I think you should forget about the appeal since it is most likely going to be denied and focus on getting a valid divorce done in the US.  Contact the clerk at your local court to see what you need to do to divorce, all courts have different requirements, you can also check your local courts webpage for more information . Do you know where your ex spouse is presently? If not there is a process for serving someone that you dont have an address for.  Do you know if she filed any divorce proceedings against you in the last 4 years that you may have missed? You can check with the local court where she lives to find out. (A person can only file divorce where they live). You may have to check with different courts if she has moved during the last 4 years or so. If there is no valid divorce then you need to get one and then marry your current spouse again. (you may even need to divorce your current spouse).
