I am engaged to an Egyptian national. He's lived here in the States twice before, both times in excellent standing. He was here for work. He's divorced with 2 daughters in Egypt. Is it wiser to bring him here as my fiance, or as my husband? Should I marry him in Egypt at the American Embassy, or should I wait until he's here? I'm going to Egypt in January, and was also there a few years ago. What is better, bringing him as a fiance or as a spouse?

Btw, he is Muslim but has no affiliation with any religious groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. His legal record is clean, no laws broken.

i lived with my husband many years in egypt as contractor. many mixed marriages i have seen and many green cards to the usa for egyptians.
you marry him there! but not at embassy, you must go to the shar el akari (he will know, where it is). then you proceed the papers to us embassy and after your marriage is recognized and all papers translated he will get a visa to usa. fiance visa takes forever later to get the green card.
the whole process will take you at least 2 month in egypt and later in usa he will wait about a year for his greencard, ssn and workpermit.
but open speaking.... don't marry him! the cultural differences are way to big and in my friends it turned out to be at least 70 % divorce rate. plus be prepared, that you have to convert to muslim to marry him. if you don't have a problem with this fact, ok......
