YOU CAN FIND A JOB WITHOUT THE EIT OR PE CERTIFICATE. MOST COMPANIES PREFER P.E CERTIFICATION. IF THEY REQUIRE IT IT WILL BE STATED ON THE REQUIRMENT.
If you are a citizen of Egypt or any other foreign country, you will need the appropriate visa and work permit before you can work in the United States. There are a number of ways to get this permit, most of them will require that you apply while you are out of the country.
For more more information on the visa requirement you can go either of the first two websites below [1] and [2]. The second website is the official website of the US government.
As noted by the other poster, having passed your FE or PE exams is another thing entirely and passing these test is not a requirement for employment. A lot depends on the status of the university you attended and the state you are located. For some general information on getting your PE license got to the NSPE website [3].
