Praying for a miracle and hoping someone out there has been in our shoes..

My love and i have been together for a year , madly in love does not even come close to what we feel. I have traveled to see him 3 times in the last 11 months , the first time in Oct 2011 for 5 days , than november 2011 for 10 days and February 2012 for 3 weeks. I have all the proof of relationship , pictures, emails ,receipts everything and anything. Our only issue is there is a 20 year age difference, god just writing that seems so odd becuase it really doesnt matter between us - he is very mature and i am in fabulous shape. Age is just a number and anyone in our company would be able to tell within seconds that its real and we just want to be together..... he is 25 and i am 45.

I would appreciate any feedback out there....

Whilst this age gap seems very common on VJ, to suggest it will not be an issue seems unlikely.

I would not be too concerned, just make sure that your paperwork is in order, 20 years is not too much. Good luck to you.

I Looooooove my baby Lyn.

The larger the age gap, the more suspicion that will placed on you for sure. And it sounds like you, the female, are the older one, which is considered pretty suspect (much more than an older man marrying a younger woman, which is considered pretty normal most places). So while there is nothing that says they can deny you for that, just be extra careful to have your evidence rock solid is all, and be ready for extra scrutiny.

If the relationship is real, you shouldn't have any problems.

I have no idea if Jordan is considered a high fraud country like Nigeria would be, for example.

OP, do some reading in the regional forum to learn from other members who have married younger men in the region.

I like your attitude. :) Anyways, you/your SO might be asked about it at interview. I'd suggest you take it into consideration and be ready to address it but as you say, it doesn't matter to you and hopefully your petition(and interview) will reflect that.

K1 process, October 2010 > POE, July 2011

I-129F approved in 180 days from NOA1 date. (195 days from filing to NOA2 in hand)

Interview took 224 days from I-129F NOA1 date. (241 days from filing petition until visa in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until POE: 285 days

Click timeline or "about me" for all details.

AOS process, December 2011 > July 2012

EAD/AP Approval took 51 days from NOA1 date to email update. (77 days from filing until EAD/AP in hand)

AOS Approval took 206 days from NOA1 date to email update. (231 days from filing until greencard in hand)

From filing I-129F petition until greencard in hand: 655 days

This is the answer in this thread to pay the most attention to. As a gentle general reminder, what happens at the Manila embassy does NOT automatically happen elsewhere.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I'm 23 and my fiancé is 46...I feel like the adult most times. But we have been together for 4 years now and used to live together before he moved back to the states...I would of thought that if you can prove that it is a legitimate relationship, you can only hope for the best.
