[QUOTE]Originally posted by Somewhere in the sands: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by doodlebug: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by babywhale: [qb] Having read all the above, I would like to say i have not long come back to uk after marrying an Egyptian. i was married earlier in March a muslim marriage, i return in August to marry civil. I had to register with Uk Consulate that i was free to marry and show my divorce papers, where they stamped and translated also in to Arabic. We then took this to Court where had legal marriage contract, we then had all translated from one of list from Uk Consulate, we then presented at the UK consulate, where they stamped the English translation and kept two copies and we kept two. On my return to Uk i change my name to my married name, including my passport. I just gave them copies of both the arabic and english copy. I there found no problem over there in Egypt getting married. It is important either the English and USA person to have declaration of being able to marry. Your partner also has to show he is free to marry including court papers of divorce. i hope this clears things up for some people. Our next stage is the immigration process. if all fails then do look to other countries. but make sure you have all correct paper work, that does mean doing your homework. take care Jasmina [/qb][/QUOTE]I think people know all that. the problem is that the US embassy is not issuing the free to marry statement. It is interesting though to see that they're not giving the UK folks a problem, only the US ones. . . . [/qb][/QUOTE]The underlying problem which the U.S. Governments says is the problem is that there is not central U.S.A. database by which any U.S. Government authority can check to verify if a U.S. Citizen is married or divorce. The Egyptian Government wants the U.S. Government to PROVE that it's citizens are free to marry and the U.S. Governments says we can't do that bascially because there is no central database that house these records. A person can get married lets say in Illinois and obtain a divorce in Idaho and then the next day obtain a marriage license in Nevada. There is no way to track this incidents and the only way to prove that any took place is that one would have to know where, where and who got married and verify each State's records. U.S. Citizen to not have a centralize Federal ID network. Yes, there are passport, but this is not a required form of ID (YET) and there are driver's licenses and individual State IDs. However, no Federal ID system for it's citizens. And the statement still does ring true. The U.S. Government (Federal Government) does not authorize or issue marriage licenses. It is done at the State or County levels. Therein lies the problem for SOME American citizen wanting to get married in a civil marriage in Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
