hi everyone i need help about visa k1 i have some question

1 _well my fiance she old then me she 40 years old and imn ,25 so is the age problem ? - In most cases it is a problem, especially in Morocco due to a high number of marriage frauds. I am sure there are some exceptions to the rule but most find it quite difficult to prove that their relationship is valid.

2 _ and she get every months 400 $ income but she told me someone who can be co- sponsor of me ? so is that not problem she can do that about co- sponsor is it allow ? - She will definitely need a co-sponsor.

3__ and how long time tak visa 1 -Times can vary, although looking at the historic trends I can see most average at about 6 months or so.

and is i need to know my fienace lmore then 2 years for mad visa k1 - The requirement is that you had to have met your fiance within the last 2 years before filing the case. You do not have to know your fiance for 2 years, although the longer you know your fiance the better chance you have validating your relationship.

so this k1 is not gonna work ?

hard to say, with absolute certainty.

there's an age gap, and yer in a high fraud area.

IMO, all depends on:

1. the casefile prep prior to submittal

2. results of all namechecks on the beneficiary

3. how the VO 'feels' about the casefile, after its received in Morocco and also ON interview day

4. how the interview goes.

Yes, or... It isn't going to work as a way around US immigration laws. It will only work if the relationship is genuine, as in about far more than obtaining an immigration benefit. Sometimes the genuine relationships fail in the visa process too.

I must say I am a bit offended by the responses on this post. He says he is 25, and that she is 40. He asks if this is a problem, and you people reply yes.

I am in an age gap relationship, he is 25, I am almost 40. I read up on the notes here before we started, and in an interview with an immigration officer, a question was asked .....

We see alot of older woman marrying younger, is this an issue ? The reply was .... Free to marry.

The government doesnt care about your ages, only that you have a valid relationship.

I personaly belong to a website around age gap and immigration ... My favorite story ... he was 19 ( Australia ) she was 42 ( USA ). At no time was there age difference an issue.

This process is stressful enough, and the people worry about all the little things ... dont add age difference into the mix.

I agree with the above post.

Even when sex symbol Anna Nicol Smith married the 63 year older multi-billionaire Howard J. Howard Marshall, nobody doubted that was a serious relationship, based purely on true love and affection. Only a few naysayers believed it had to do with other motives, in her case, money.

Why then would somebody doubt that a 25 year-old Moroccan gentleman would marry a 40 year-old Lady for any other reason but true love and affection? Just because she lives thousands of miles away on a different continent and could provide the guy with a Green Card? I think that would be unfair and jumping the gun, as we know nothing about these two people based on the I.O.'s description so far.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Consulates use a "reasonable person" standard when judging the bona fides of a relationship. This allows them to take into account the traditions and customs of the beneficiary's country and culture. In some countries, marriage between an older woman and younger man IS considered to be against social customs, and WILL cause problems at the consulate. An age difference may not be a problem at a consulate in Canada or Australia, but it is very well known to cause problems in Morocco.

Instead of being offended, try to understand the cultural differences involved. Many Islamic countries (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan, for example) or known to expect that the beneficiary's family are all well informed about the relationship. They've even been known to make phone calls or pay visits to the beneficiary's family to see how much they know about the relationship and the petitioner. The consulates in Canada and Australia couldn't possibly care less if the beneficiary's family knows about the relationship. By the same token, the consulates in Canada or Australia wouldn't give a rat's rump how or when you became "officially" engaged, but the consulate in Vietnam expects a very formal and very public engagement ceremony - lacking one will almost certainly cause problems with a K1 visa application.

Fair enough. I am very open minded, and do get easily offended when I see/hear comments that I veiw as close minded or ignorant. I am not educated on other customs and really dont have the right to an opinion in this matter. I guess I should be more aware that there are many users on this board, from all over the world and that not all have my upbringing. Im Canadian and therefore just assume that the processes are the same. I would just like to believe that at no time does age ( unless illegal ) come into play between two people who love each other.

As you learn more about the subject matter discussed here, you'll become aware that many discussions NEED to be carried on within a country or region specific context. Aside from that, be prepared for a lot of challenges to what you would "like to believe".

I dunno - I don't want to personally attack you, or delve into the concept of 'specifics to Morocco', but - I will ask of you - when you make time to 'get back on that other portal' - inquire specifically about age-gap couples in Morocco where the MAN is a single, Muslim, moroccan national, under 30 years of age, and the US Citizen is caucasian female, non-muslim, no concept of coverting, over age 40.

IMO, it's a totally different demographic, ya? also, IMO, yer trying to compare apples to oranges here, and it just won't wash.

But - forget all I've said here, for the nonce. Go do yer own research, on that other portal, inquire about 'red flags'. I'm hoping you'll be able to learn something about ppls experiences in Morocco.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
