One denigrating post has been removed, and this thread is now closed to further comment. The OP has received acceptable answers and could have done research on her own to realize that interviews can be conducted in the beneficiary's native language.
The OP is on notice to think twice or more before starting any more new threads.

Seriously. At least try and keep it realistic. Lists of perishables... Oy.

My husband is also Egyptian and Muslim and I've met his family on many occasions. They are traditional as well, and we've all taken pictures together. Yes the hotel room is definitely an issue, but meeting family and sitting together isn't. This is typical in engagements in Egypt before marriage takes place. If you are meeting in Morocco and doing something that appears to be of issue with his family and his values, that is indeed a red flag because it makes it seem like and you are hiding something.

Terri. I'm going to be real with you.
Granted you may not like a single thing I'm going to say here, but here goes.
I don't really care if your story is legit or fake, okay? I'm not one to question whom one falls in love with and the differences they may encounter.
You have consistently posted misleading and evasively contradictory statements. As this is a site where people generally care about each other and want to help: there are things that YOU need to clear up or this will not continue in a positive manner. Help people help you. Or don't. If you don't then no one will be able to help you or continue taking you seriously.
I can guarantee to you, that the United States government does not care one iota about your hardships or difficulty, how good you think your photos are (real or photoshopped), or the circumstances regarding why you can't be in the same room or have to stand below a balcony with a person you say you want to be your husband. They don't care about roses or towels or love stories. They do not care how much you think you love him and how much you think you can make this work. They don't even care about the money you sent with your application either.
What they care about is fraud, people becoming a burden to their system, and the protection of their citizens.
Under the theme of fraud - many things you have stated raise red flags. Severe red flags, that I don't believe a person viewing your petition would be able to overcome positively without more information. Reality can be painful and harsh, but that's the way things are. The people who have sent petitions in here, and have been waiting for months and years to be with their loved ones, they have endured extreme hardships, painful separations, differences in cultures, and scrutiny. Don't think for a second that people don't understand the reality of hardship, because they do. This is something we take seriously. No one here wants to be hostile with you, but you're making it impossible for a person not to react that way.
I've had my say now, and I think what I've said is fairly reasonable and polite, if you are willing to calm down and actually start answering questions that do in fact pertain to if your case will be successful or not. Because trust me, it isn't about who's uncle ran off with whom right now, or even religious differences that you even need to be concerned about at the top of the list -- it's a whole host of other things. As it stands now, there is a high likelihood your case will not be successful. Sorry, but that's how life is.

Uh...
(clears throat, taking two steps forward)
because you started another thread stating you are Christian and he is Muslim.
*takes three steps back*

Egypt is also a HIGH fraud country, so the same rules apply.
Why are you so sure after "one brief meeting" when you "didn't stand next to each other" (you said these things) that he is not a fraudster like his brother is? FYI the rose and the towel and other fishy things are typical when fraudsters from third world countries try to make American women fall in love with them.
This whole story is surreal.

I think this thread is one of two things:
1. The OP is not happy to have received some honest advice to make sure that she gets to be with her love by making sure she has a very solid case because of her familial relationship to a person who has previously committed immigration fraud from the same country. Hopefully she will take the advice regardless and she will live the happy life that she wants.
-or-
2. A troll.

Terri,
Can we see the photos? I really am just dying to see them.

People are going "on and on" because of that very topic.
Your Egyptian relative who did a runner on your sister is going to cause major red flags in your case, as such, people are trying to HELP you by making sure you have adequate evidence to ensure your case is approved. There's nothing you can do about your uncle other than make sure you have a rock-solid case - hence the questions.
Because you have given confusing (and, frankly, peculiar) stories about the photos you have with your partner and your plans for marriage, we as mere readers are concerned that you a) don't have enough evidence, so bad uncle or not you're gonna have issues and b) don't fully understand the requirements of your application. This is a DIY site, we help people through to successful visas.

That's probably for the best.
It looks like you've decided what you want to do, and are trying to cover your bases for it; that happens around here a lot.

Trust your gut, it is very rarely wrong.

Exactly what was said above. If you go to one of the profiles of someone stil waiting for an NOA2 from April 2014 you may see they have not signed on to this site in months.
...thus "screwing up" the stats.

I want to become a U.S. citizen so I can:
1) Be taxed on my worldwide income.
2) Vote in elections already decided by moneyed interests.
3) Sponsor even more and ungrateful family/people to the U.S.
4) Die while pursuing the American dream that is increasingly illusive to the 99%.
Seriously though, I love this country so much I want to help fix all of the above.

Photo?

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!! There's hope after AP, keep the faith ❤️

@ Aversmom

Giving your passport back doesn't equal a denial so that's good. Sometimes when hey know it will be a lengthy review they don't keep the passport. Once the review is over they will contact you to bring the passport, then it will speed up from there
My case updated again today. I believe this is the final AP (the good kind) the case creation date updated to today as well and from the trends that I've seen on this site I could be looking at an "issued" status tomorrow!

Update!!!!
Our status on CEAC just changed to ISSUED!!!!!

Update!!!!
Our status on CEAC just changed to ISSUED!!!!!

Thanks guys.Finally i will be with my wife and son

See! Congrats

Typically the AP after Ready is a good sign. The next update should be Issued!

Nobody here can answer this question for you. It's a big decision that you will need to think hard about and make on your own.
Listen to your heart.

this visa is important for you and your partner. No lawyer, no site will be as productive as you folks yourself. lawyers / sites etc etc are there to earn money and not care about how important this process is for those folks who are going through it.
I have seen many lawyers / sites screwing people. better be safe than sorry .. Despite your tight schedule do it on your own. that's my 2 cent of thoughts
