The requirement is meeting at least once however most people do better with visa applications when they spend more time together. 

 

Read the reviews from Tunisia and you will see the types of questions people get asked and what their outcomes usually are. 

 

Is she willing to come be with you? Are both your families happy with your choices?

Really not a red flag if you really love each other and spent time together, we had 30 years difference, I visited him 4 times and all was well, visa was not a word about the age difference. The main thing is if you keep the marriage after living together, internet, visits, visa it's all different life, the real life starts in US in the same house and every day life. Ours didn't work in the real life, married for 3 months and it's over. Try to see the person, real person, it's more important than any visa

If you do the K1 then she really should visit again before the interview or marry in your country and file a CR1.
Expect some scrutiny and be able to tell the CO why you do not care to have children because she is past child bearing age.
Many with a large age difference get approved and it is not in and of itself a reason to get denied

so I would not worry, you just need to convince the CO you have a genuine relationship.

Have her front load the petition with quality

relationship evidence and she should be on the premises for the interview even though they may not allow her inside

the embassy. Read your regional embassy reviews. The more visits she can get in the better.

sir we know echothers in face time i mean in internet more then three years .only in last two month she was visd me in my contry .

The suggestions aren't talking about the app facetime but real physical time together.  They are suggesting that it will be easier to overcome any potential red flags by your fiancee visiting your country as frequently as possible.  It was a good suggestion to read over other Tunisia posts here on VisaJourney to familiarize yourself with how that embassy operates.  Best wishes on your journey!

Thank you. It was a hard time waiting for so long, hoping here it will be all better, he came totally different and then told me he married me for papers only. More issues he had so for him it was better travel back to his country, it was his decision but anyway it was, still it is hard fro me. He traveled still asking if I will do another visa for him, I said he needs to make his choice now, wait for AP and don't close the US door or go and don't come again. He made his choice. we are still married but not even talking

Do not enable this scammer Tasha, divorce and block his number(s).
Believe him when he said he did it only for papers. Let his issues be his downfall and turn your back and walk on.
Vent in the Sub-Saharan forum if you need to Tasha. (F)You will get through this alright.
Sorry OP for being off topic but this took me by surprise.
Back to topic.

Thank you neilsqueen and Ebunoluwa

In part it's my fault too, I was closing my eyes to so many red flags and ignoring the good advice. I will vent it in sub-saharian forum but later, I am much better now, but not very well yet.

To the OP, online relationship is not the prove for the embassy and not the prove of the real relationship for you both, try to have more real time together, the visa it's only the 1st step, more time waiting for the green card here and starting the family life, be sure what do you need and to whom are you going, try to do it right and all will work

If u r in a valid relationship and can prove it you will b just fine. If your relationship is true and u have pictures etc to show that will help so much. Try to stay confident and move forward. God bless you.
