Hi All

New to this. My Fiance who is american and I met in Panama in Jun 2010 and have dated long distance since then. I have been to America to see her 5 times (6 this xmas) and she has been to see me 4 times in Europe. We are crazy about each other and have talk on Skype sometimes hours every day. We decided to get married when I proposed in London in May and we started the visa process in June. No NOA2 yet but my question is to all of you.

I have just turned 30 and she is 20 do you think this will have an effect on the decision?

She is super mature and my family love her as does her mine.

Would love to hear what you all think

Many thanks

Peter

I don't know if each consulate would apply different policy based to local custom, but in some other countries for example, PI, there was some couple who have more than 20 years age gap. Find thread about Darren-Gretchen.They have been approved for K-1 visa.

Peter, nope not an issue as it pertains to the K-1 application approval and subsequent interview process. I only offer that she dresses and acts appropriately (mature, manured and respectful) at the interview which will dismiss any perceived doubts that the interviewer/consular may have.

Good luck to you both.

Judging from your membership status, I'm gonna give you benefit of the doubt, you probably have no idea that that statement is as far from truth as it gets when it comes to long distance relationships and visas.

Age is very important, maybe as important as cultural difference if not more.

BUT op, culture and age difference go hand in hand. If a relationship and the age difference is out of ordinary for the beneficiary's country of origin, age can be a problem,But you're good
