Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
The process took about three years from when my family member returned to Egypt. He was initially on a student visa in America but had to go back to Egypt due to the two-year requirement associated with the J-1 visa. I petitioned for my spouse to come back to the U.S., which cost about $3,000 for everything since I handled most of the paperwork myself.
The process was difficult, as I had to deal with many flights traveling back and forth to Egypt over those three years. In Feb of 2024, his case went into administrative processing and then turned into a refusal. However, after six months, the Egyptian embassy reached out to us to complete another health physical and requested that we send the Egyptian passport to the embassy in Cairo. This only took two weeks, and after we received notification of approval, my spouse was on a plane back to the U.S. via British Airways just two weeks later.
FYI, the Social Security card and roughly two months to receive the green card at our home.
