My fiance is 30 yrs younger them me. And he is Iranian. We got approved for a K1 but we had tons of evidence and a long history of knowing each other. We had a chat history dating back to 2008. We met of course in person prior to wanting to marry. I think our biggest problem will be the interview here in the states for the AOS. We spent so much money getting this far, two overseas trips, airline ticket from Iran to US. Money for an attorney to make sure all papers were filled out correctly,etc. We are not having a wedding. Maybe later in the summer we will have a marriage party for friends and family. We would rather take a trip somewhere. This whole process costs over $10,000 if you count the trips to Turkey , hotels and meals. I just hope they understant this.

Hello Omar, I do wish you the best of luck. However, I just strongly doubt they will approve your visa. It will actually be a big surprise for me if they do. 26 years of age difference is a big red f

Given your country - 26 years is a number most likely to be questioned, especially since she is the older one. I would think you will have issues with the fact she divorced right after getting citizen

Many red flags

She cheated on her husband with you when she went to egypt to meet you when she was married

She stayed with husband till she got her citizenship and then threw him away (divorce)

How old are you?

How old is she?

Can she have kids?

Do you have pictures of your family and her together?

Does your family approve?

Are you Muslim?

Is she the same religion as you?

You need alot of proof before you send the petition. Many chats logs, many phone calls, many screen shots, airplane tickets, many pictures with your family.

Other people have had a large age gap and got the visa. But you just have to prove it is real love to the Counselor Officer at the embassy

I would try anyhow. But do alot of research on what to send with the petition and send ALOT.

If they deny you then she will live with you in egypt or elsewhere.

Good luck

Red Flags: marry USC

divorce right after naturalization

remarry right after divorce

relationships over-lap (base on how you tells it)

Most countries in the world younger men marry for benefits to an older women

when will she have a child for you/don't you want kids

This what CO will be asking about no matter how many pictures & receipts you have

good luck

Many red flags

She cheated on her husband with you when she went to egypt to meet you when she was married

She stayed with husband till she got her citizenship and then threw him away (divorce)

How old are you?

How old is she?

Can she have kids?

Do you have pictures of your family and her together?

Does your family approve?

Are you Muslim?

Is she the same religion as you?

You need alot of proof before you send the petition. Many chats logs, many phone calls, many screen shots, airplane tickets, many pictures with your family.

immigration process is not about age gap or recent divorce or what so ever!!!

as long that you two proof that this relationship is BONAFIDE, i don't see any problems.

my advice before filing for petition right away perhaps consider collecting proof/evidence of the relationship..spend time together and enjoy the moments together!!!

goodluck!!!!

Yes it is about age gap and recent divorce and marrying so soon again ! Therein lies the core of not bona fide to the CO. In those precise issues are the details that stand out as not bona fide. It would be an uphill battle with long AP and very likely the return of an initially approved petition.
