  1. The OP just wants to be with her significant other like all of us do. I feel that some of you are being too harsh on her. it's not her fault that her husband is from egypt and that they are different religions and that they got married while he was visiting on a B-2 visa. IF he was already a USC she wouldn't have to prove herself to immigration or to any of us. Most of us are in bi-national if not from different religious backgrounds as our SO's. We need to retract the claws a little bit and celebrate love. I hope everything goes well!

    Don't think anyone's criticizing her for that. Simply, that not all nationalities are treated the same in terms of immigration and so on, and that's why she got the harder interview.

  2. Hi Elchelle,

    Have you talked to a lawyer about this? Some give free consultations and they might be able to provide you with some answers as opposed to VJ people's opinions. There might be lawyers who specialize in these types of cases and can give you professional guidance.

    Best of luck on your journey! I hope that you and your love are reunited soon.

    Not necessary for now, could be worse if the lawyer isn't aware of the particularities of this post. And even if he was put in AP and such, lawyers can't do much about that. I think, better save that money for another trip together or something.

  3. .

    Thanks.

    I know AP means administrative processing, but what does that mean? What do they do?

    This is not meant toward anyone, it is my frustration, but people all over the world leave their spouses for other people everyday. After 20 years of marriage, my uncle left my aunt for another woman, whom he married. It happens. This "it automatically means he only wants a Visa" stuff is crazy.

    AP is essentially them researching this person more. Could take a few weeks, few months, a year.

    I really, really recommend you head over to the MENA forum, to talk to other people who are also dealing with the same consulate.

  4. To mimolicious and Ihavequestions, and BeccaBecca, and others, thank you for your responses. I know my relationship. I know what happens sometimes with fraud. Whether Muslim men can marry three wives or four wives in Egypt is really not relevant here. I thank you all for pointing that out to me, and I appreciate your knowledge, but I'm seeking advice on how to overcome the red flags. I am aware of the red flags, which was the point of the post in the first place. No one has actually given me any advice solid about what to do about it and how he can prepare for the interview.

    Evidence of talking a lot, meeting in person, spending time with each other's family. So, Skype logs, boarding passes, photos, maybe FB/email logs. IMO, I think even with this, with him being from Egypt and leaving his wife to be with you (looks a lot like he just wants to move stateside), you'll go through AP anyway.

  5. 1. Make money.

    2. Pay him back for damages.

    3. Understand he's a 78 year old man who is now forced to, for whatever reason, help raise a 23 year old.

    4. Move out.

    I'm surprised he hasn't kicked you out. 23, with some art/fashion pipe dreams, and wrecking his truck? Eek. You need to contribute somehow.

  6. Why is writing your US status on your resume a bad thing? If someone has a resume that is entirely made up foreign degrees, foreign work experience, etc... the company might think this person is seeking sponsorship to the US. At least in my hubby's field (IT) that is an issue.
