USC1961

At this point you've got multiple red flags. 
 
- A large age disparity (more than double)... 
- ...And the female is the older party
- Multiple previous visa denials
- A short amount of face-to-face time
 
Add in the fact that he's Egyptian and you're looking at a higher likelihood that he is using you to get to the US, which is exactly what the embassy is going to think. 
 
Impossible? No, but this is an Everest-sized mountain to climb that may take years to do so, if it's even possible. 
 
You may wish to investigate moving to Egypt or to a third country if you're convinced that your relationship is genuine; that would be a great deal easier. 

I'm confused here. It is my understanding that you are required to marry in the USA with a K1 visa. Also how can you "file" a marriage performed outside of the jurisdiction which you preside?
Or do you mean you are planning to throw a wedding party and then get legally married in the USA? Tread lightly as you don't want to get denied based on evidence that "looks" like a wedding.

I'm sorry but I can't keep quiet on this point. Especially because this is one of, if not the most misunderstood thing about foreign dating. Internet dating is very different from the old fashioned "mail order bride" services. Guys don't order brides from a catalog anymore like they would a tie or suit from Sears. I would describe internet dating more like a virtual cafe, bar or (insert any public social situation) where you meet and hook up with different people. There is a world of difference between the two. In fact I'll take it one step further. Dating someone online domestically is for all intents and purposes the same as dating a foreign person. Only difference is the getting married part is a bit trickier. Now, if you were to say internet dating has replaced the outdated mail order bride services, I would agree.

Let's see.. You submitted photographs wearing wedding dress and jewelry. His family considers you married. You just had a baby; Indians generally consider a baby out of wedlock as taboo. Embassy staff contacted his family, village, etc who basically confirmed you two got married.
Why the surprise he was denied a fiance visa?

I'm not trying to be funny, but did you guys use a time machine to get married later this year?

Actually it would be quite the opposite. Trump would cut out all the bureaucracy and hassle regarding immigration. Thus making legal immigration much simpler than before. All this fear mongering surrounding Trump is just that. It's amazing how Trump is all of a sudden racist and compared to Hitler when he decides to run for president. Don't ever remember anyone saying this before.

IF interview comes along for the I-129F , make sure you say this to the CO when they ask if you and her are married, " I wanted to marry my effing wife while visiting her. Thats it. Period. You got it?" their going to love that response.

The civil certificate would be the one issued by the registrar or clerks office. So it sounds like you sent the right one. My only guess is that perhaps the certificate got lost in the cogwheels somewhere. Or somehow the courthouse didn't give you the right document. I second what rcripps said but this time go to a different clerks office just to be sure you are getting what you paid for.

Go to the County Clerk's Office and get a certified copy of your Marriage Certificate. That should cover it. Usually they charge @$10 per copy. It's pretty standard across the United States.

Yes most definitely easier. K1 takes a minimum 6 months for approval and would simply be a waste of time and money if you don't plan to live there for a few years. Not to mention the fact that you as a petitioner need residency in the USA to file. When you do decide to move to the USA in the future you can do a CR-1. Good Luck and congrats!

This behavior is what would raise a big red flag. The not wanting to post pictures on FB in itself may just be someone overly concerned about others snooping. From a privacy and security point of view, it is not recommended to post any information on facebook. However secretly sending money is something that is a deal breaker. And sorry to say, all the marriage counseling in the world won't fix it. Plan now to get divorced and send him packing. You have done right by your husband by doing so much for him, but sadly he's trying to con you. Hopefully he'll come clean and tell you what his plans were, just for your peace of mind. Good luck.

This is spot on. In addition USCIS doesn't have to prove intent. Why? Quite simply immigration isn't a court of law, it is an agency. It is the onus of the petitioner and beneficiary to prove there was no intent to marry and immigrate before entering the USA. Even if USCIS suspects foul play, that is enough to deny a petition to stay. Or what if the agent assigned to the case is having a bad day? Case denied.
Just because others have been successful in the past doesn't necessarily mean it is legal or that it will work in your favor. Almost without exception it is always better to follow the law. That way you can mitigate your risk of being denied as much as possible. Sour grapes?? No, just the facts ma'am.

First of all condolences to the OP, very heartbreaking. What really raises a red flag for me is that she had the ability to text him when she was supposedly held by immigration, for a couple of reasons First her phone wouldn't automatically work here in the USA without getting a SIM from a company here. Second of all the message wouldn't have been sent so immediately, since you can't use your phone while going through the immigration lines. This leads me to believe someone texted him on her behalf. This whole situation reeks of a well planned out scam.
But wow.....you would think there were some warning signs. Even the most perfect scammer shows some red flags. SMH

Great post until the very end. Legal fees are not always paid by the defendant. The plaintiff has to actually win the case first for that to happen. In which case the judge "may" decide to also tack on the legal fees to the defendants bill.
