Age gap

[David & Beth 1]

My interview is getting closer, and even with almost all documents already well organized. I´m kinda nervous with the interview.

My fiancé is older almost 24 years than me (he is 52, i´m 28), and he is retired by total disability. He won´t be abble to come to my interview date, but we have lots of documents (like copy of wedding rings warranty, over a year skype callings, several pics, many e-mails, hotels accomodations when he came to visit me, etc) that prove our bonafide relationship (2 years and half together).

So, would our age gap be a problem during the interview?

What are the typical questions?

I don't think you will have any problem, coz my fiance was 50 and I was 30, and I got the visa just fine, the IO just asked me one question that pissed me off a little bit, he said "Well, considering from your education background and his, and the age gap, are you sure you're not marrying him just to go better yourself in America?" I asnwered "Of course not, I love him, that's why i'm marrying him, how come you make an accusation of me like that?" He went quited and wrote me a visa pick up appointment paper. So I'm sure you'll be fine, just be confident. Good Luck

So long as the rest of your petition is in order -- i.e., nothing flawed, incorrect, or suspicious about the relationship -- then age will not matter. Keep in mind, you will not be the first couple where a middle aged man seeks to marry a younger foreign bride.

Lol i liked your answer. I´ll keep in mind.

I also have a good education background and recently, got my MBA degree.And i could do good in my own country. But, i´m getting married with him, cuz i love him and can´t live without him.

Thanks

Thanks for the help. I´ve been trying relax for the interview.

I think it should not be a problem. If they ask any rude questions I would just be ready with a polite, but firm answer that you love your fiance and are just happy to be his wife. I enjoyed polar's answer quite a bit as well. I might even mention something along the lines (if it's true ofc) "We also discussed the prospect of him moving here, but he has children in the US he doesn't want to separate from" or something along that line. In many cases, however, they'll probably just ask you the standard "how did you meet? when are you planning to get married? Have you met his family? Do you like them? Where do you plan to work when you're in the US" My fiancee is Brazilian, but interviewed in London, so I'm sure it won't be exactly the same, but you'll be fine. Good luck! Rich
