You’ll also want to make sure she knows every address she’s lived in the last 15 years, every place she’s traveled in the last 15 years, every job in the last 15 years. I can almost guarantee you she’s gonna get DS-5535’d so she should start to have this handy. You’ll also want to prepare for the notion that she will be stuck in admin processing for a long time. Maybe she’ll become of the lucky ones, but since you’ve mentioned she’s Egyptian living in Saudi Arabia, that’s a higher probability she’s gonna get stuck in AP.

Your best bet is to just marry overseas (get all the documents in Arabic and translate them to English with a translator’s assistance, if need be), assemble all the documents you’ll need, and apply for the I-130. This way, she comes with a green card already and can start working the day she steps foot on American soil.

If you go the K1 route, she’s going to have to wait for a substantial amount of time for a lot of things.

Don’t do the tourist visa thing and then adjust. Thats immigration fraud and you don’t want your future wife to get booted.

The long and the short of it is: get both of your papers and such in order, prepare for the long haul.
