A&B

I have been in this exact same situation.  Trust me when I say that a lot of Egyptian men will tell you ANYTHING to get out of their country.  They are very charismatic and are definitely salesmen.  I was married to an Egyptian prior to my current relationship and in retrospect I definitely believe now that his friend who was already here in the states helped him to find someone "me" to help him get here.  That being said, they can only hide their true intentions for so long.  I never caught my ex in a lie before he came either.  I met all his family when I went to Egypt and truly believed he was an honest guy.  He had a college education, a decent job and his family was upper middle class.  Just be super careful.  As you can see I married an Egyptian again but I was fully armed with all the red flags I chose to ignore the first go around.  Be careful.  Protect yourself, your heart and your family.  My ex waited almost two years to show his true colors.  Once he knew he had the green card in the bag his true intentions came out.  I finally threw him out and divorced him after he made a sexual pass at my 18 year old daughter.  I know you will probably still go through with it.  I don't care how well you think you know his friend.  Beware.  From what I experienced it's definitely a Bros before you know what mentality in Egypt.  Just my two sense.
