  1. I have a bit of a confusing issue, so I’ll try to make it as clear as possible. I’m a US citizen, and have been living/married in Egypt for 2 years(husband is Egyptian). We will apply for the I-130 in Egypt via online. The issue is, all my husbands documents, passport, marriage certificate etc have his old address on it, not the one we’ve been living at. This is due to the fact most Egyptians don’t update their address on all their documents when they move because it’s a nightmare. When I filed my 2021 taxes I put our current address not the address that’s on all our documents. My husband received his passport June 2022(after I filed my taxes), and it has his old address. This looks fishy as the addresses don’t match up with documents/ timeline of when we got married. I defiantly don’t want it to seem like we’re being fraudulent, but I feel it’s going to send red flags. Has anyone had a similar issue?
  2. Hi Troy! Yes, I have residency to stay in Egypt for three years. As far as who will be able to sponsor my husband, I can do it if I decide to stay in the US and wait the processing period there. Or there is the topic of a joint sponsor that I'm currently looking into as well. Perhaps immigration will also have this question if I file while in Egypt and they see my Egyptian address? I'm worried it would cause issues, so I'm trying to figure out the best place to be before I file.
  3. Oh wow, I'm so happy for you! All in all how long has the process taken you so far? How long did it take for them to approve your 1-130?
  4. Hello all! Is it a bad idea to file form I-130 while overseas? Will this cause issues later on? I know I must show I have/plan to return and stay in the US, but with the long processing time, I want to stay with my husband as long as I can before I have to leave. My thoughts are: 1. going back to the US and stay for a month or so, establish myself (perhaps get a lease with family member) renew my driver's license along with a few other things, then come back to Egypt and wait with my husband 2. file I-130 while in Egypt and move back to the US after it is done being process (with the hopes it is approved) unless this is risky? I'd love to hear others thoughts and/or experiences so I can form a better judgement on how best to proceed. 🙏
  5. Hi there! Sorry I don't come on Visa Journey that often! The Facebook group I mentioned is only for expat women in Egypt Where are you in the visa process?
  6. Hi Laura! I'm not sure if this is helpful, but in another group I'm in on Fcbk, someone said the US Embassy opens up their appointments every other Thursday. I'd be happy to connect more with you as I think you and I are going through the same process.
  7. Hi there! Doe anyone know if Egypt does DCF any longer? I am a US citizen and married to an Egyptian. We married in Egypt and I've been living here for almost one year. I want my husband to be able to travel to the US with me. Ideally we'd like to have the ability to travel back and forth from Egypt to the US. I was reading up on the process and came across DCF which seems to take less time, however I am not sure if this is an option in Egypt? When I became a member on VisaJourney we weren't married, so now I'm looking at a different visa process than before (K1 Visa). I'd love to hear anyone's feedback, thoughts or suggestions. Thank you!
