Which agency did you apply through? Are there any other visa types which would work? Read More

Great, I will instruct them about this. I'll go to Egypt this weekend to make the marriage papers and begin the process of her passport, etc. While I'm there, I intend to visit the VFS visa agent there to make sure we'll have everything ... Read More

Hi XTang, sorry to bother you again. I just returned from a meeting with my HR department and they are willing now to write the letter. However, they don't know what it should say. According to them, they tried one last year and it was rejected. ... Read More

According to VFS, I believe so. At least this is what the location in Alexandria told me...Cairo one lists passport as an option, but they never replied. A coworker from my previous job told me that he had to provide a letter as well. Read More

Hi, just an update: My company is saying it is impossible to get a visa for her because I'm on a work visa. They are also saying that if they did sponsor her, they would need to pay money to the Ministry of Labor. None of this makes sense. It ... Read More

Okay, so it looks like applying thru the Cairo Mission doesn’t need a preapproval letter, only my passport with the original visa. The marriage paper and going to Egypt is not a problem. I’ll contact them directly and see if I understand ... Read More

I see. I'm getting a lot of conflicting answers. But I've asked my company; still waiting on a response from them. I've also heard someone suggest getting an escort visa. It's the first time I've heard of this type so I know ... Read More

Okay I hope to have a response from them tomorrow. A lot of companies like to tell us that they can't do it, for whatever reason. Maybe it costs them too much $$$? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to pay for it from my side. Thanks for ... Read More

You misunderstood me, or I wasn't clear. I want to bring her after the wedding. I understand the customs well – I was married to Saudi previously. I am asking now, before the wedding, so I can prepare the documents and get everything in ... Read More
