Age Limitation to file I-129F

[Jonny Vorn 2]

Hi all,

I have a family's friend would like to know if he can file for I-129F even if he's 63 years old and his girlfriend 59 years old. Is there age's limitation on that? I have tried to research online but no luck on that.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Only if there are US laws forbidding those over the age of 60 to marry that I am not aware of. For the I-129F, they must be free and legally able to marry within 90 days of entering the US with a K-1 visa, and have met face-to-face at least once within the 2 years prior to filing the petition.

There is no age limit for I-129f as long as they are free to marry and have met in person within 2 years of filing the I-129 f...and the USC has capacity to support the beneficiary.

Only age restriction I know from USCIS is the person filing must be 18 years or age or older. I think your friend is safe

I know a fair number over the age of 63 who filed the I-129F petition (me included)

No problem filing... However I have read in other threads of cases where someone filed for foreign parents and because of the risk for medical issues, they required showing proof of medical insurance.... Just a thought...

"Legal to Marry" Is it legal for a 63 year old to marry a 59 year old? YES

You are good to go...EXCEPT the woman he petitions must be his fiancee, there are no visas for girlfriends.

My fiance was 64 and I am 50. We were successful in getting our K1 and we were married in the US 6 weeks ago (on his 65th birthday).

Hello. Everyone is correct and also incorrect answering this question. US always follow the local laws and customs. I see that you are a Cambodian national. Cambodian law requires you must be age of 50 or under and have a minimum income of $2500 per month to be able to marry a Cambodian Citizen. It's not a problem in the USA but US Embassy always follow local law. So if you or someone either apply K-1 or I-130 and USCIS and NVC approves without knowing local law, you will definitely be denied based on ineligibility at the Embassy during interview. So, before knowing the requirements, I don't think everyone should jump the gun and giving advise like this is which is not helpful and may cause severe problem later on if he follows everyone's advise.

Here is a link to US Embassy in Phnom Penh's website clarifies it. Even though it says getting married in Cambodia, they still follow that in K-1 visa as well.
