It will make things more difficult for you, but not impossible. Having multiple visits (a lot of time spent in person together) are a huge help when it comes to getting an approval from the Casablanca consulate when there is a considerable age difference.

You will most likely be asked about how you and your family feel about the likelihood of not having children especially if your culture puts emphasis on a mans legacy through his children or having a large family. 

 

Does she have children already? If so have you met them? Are they younger or older than you? How do they feel about your relationship? 

 

As JFH said above you will have to prove to the embassy that it is a genuine relationship, what you have in common/shared interests is important here. 

 

Lots of visits, long duration as well would help. This might have been best to do prior to sending the application.

 

Edit: Just saw duration of relationship and one visit, so you have been together a year and met in February so you met after about 5 months talking online. How long did she stay for the visit in February? What are your shared interests?

How much time did you spend together in February? Casablanca is a very tough consulate (My Moroccan husband went through the K1 process in Morocco recently), even without an age difference. It's hard to say if you will be approved with just 1 visit and 20 year age gap. It happens, but it's rather rare. They will look at the photos, but ultimately time together is the most important. My advice would be for her to come visit you again before or during the interview.

Maybe it will be enough...it's hard to say. Technically you met the requirements to file for the K1 visa, but because Morocco is a country that is known for visa fraud, cases are looked at in much more detail than in many other countries. The CO will consider how a 20 year age difference (where the man is much younger) is very unusual in Moroccan marriage tradition. This is why they like to see multiple visits as it tends to show a more serious intention to get married (in the eyes of the consulate, at least).

Yes. It will be very difficult for you. Most people with big age gaps get long AP and don't get their visa approved. I will send you a message with more information.

This is not true. It may be so for Morocco, but not for other countries. I'm 21 years older than my husband and we didn't have any problems whatsoever, from start to finish.
