Is there a reason why he cannot get a visa?  Is it really THAT HARD?  How can I get him to the U.S.?

MaryLin Posted at 4:29 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 Because he wants a work visa... and since he's from Egypt, they see him as a possible immigrant which is bad. They mostly give out visas if you can prove that you don't want to immigrate to the US. Why won't he apply for a tourist visa? It's not that hard. He has to prove that he only wants to go there temporarily - prove that he has a job in Egypt or that he is attending a school there and show his return plane ticket from the US back to Egypt, also he has to prove he has enough money for his stay and travel expenses. txbball08 Posted at 7:31 pm on Nov. 14, 2008 Gotta go through the State Department for that.  Odds are that if he's been refused twice, then he'll probably get refused a third time. An Egyptian guy coming to the US isn't very high at the top of the list of those for them to let in.
