Answer 1

Realistically, your only hope is the diversity lottery.  There will be a link to it from the State Dept. website.  It is not up and running yet as the next lottery, for 2010, has not opened yet.

1. If you have access to the Internet, visit www.UnitedStatesVisas.gov. This Web site has been created to help you find the information about current visa policy and procedures quickly and easily, based on your own situation and circumstance. Whether you are a student, a ponsor, a tourist, or a business traveler, this Web site can serve as a useful first stop on your journey. There are many different types of visas, and this site can help you determine which kind you need and how to obtain it. If you do not have access to the Internet, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for further information.

2 Make an appointment to visit the U.S.Embassy or Consulate.Visa application procedures vary somewhat among Embassies and Consulates, depending on local needs. In most countries, you will need to make an appointment. This can be done by telephone, mail, over the Internet, or in person, depending on circumstances in your country.Wait times for appointments may be longer than in the past.Schedule your appointment as soon as you know you need to travel to the U.S. Be sure to ask what fees are required and how they

can be paid. Application fees are non-refundable and must be paid before your appointment.

3 Get all your documentation ready. You will need:

• A valid passport

• Appropriate applications. These can be obtained through an Embassy or Consulate or atwww.UnitedStatesVisas.gov.

• Documents to support the application detailing employment, reason for travel and financial status

• Proof of payment of fees

Remember, as in the past, the consular officer may require additional information or application forms.

If you are a student applying for a visa to study in the U.S., talk to the U.S. academic institution or exchange program sponsoring you to obtain all the forms you will need to present with your application.

4 Submit your application, passport, and supporting documents to the U.S.Embassy or Consulate. Your application will then be reviewed by the consular officer and,in many cases,by officials in Washington, D.C. For most applicants, the visa is issued within a few weeks. There is no guarantee of obtaining a visa.

Here is the website that can help you prepare for your documentation. Good luck!!!!

Answer 5

What sort of Visa are you trying for? What are your plans in America? What part of America? Where will you be staying? Do you have business interests in Egypt? Are you married?

All of these and 50 more determine whether you will get a visa at all, and affect how long it takes. Visas are not an automatic process.

Visit the American consulate/embassy nearest you for your first set of forms (and maybe an interview).
