I am 40 years older than my finance...he is from nigiera..will this stop him from getting a k-1 visa? I have been to visit him in Nigeria 3 times. WE are so much in love.

Strictly speaking, no. However, there have been a high rate of visa denials in similar cases (large age difference, petitioner is significantly older than beneficiary, beneficiary is from Nigeria).

By the letter of the law no. But in Nigerian culture it is very important that a man produce children and you are beyond child bearing age. Have you met his parents and siblings during your trips or have you just stayed in hotels.

Go back there and get married then file for cr1. That's your best and only chance. Two red flags on your shoulders

- The country from wich the beneficiary is from!

-The HUGE gap of age between you.

File for cr1 and frontload your package with tonnes of evidence and hopefully that might work out for both of you.

Good luck

I agree absolutely...great advice!

It's going to be very hard with that red flag. I'd suggest gathering a bunch of evidence if you plan to follow through with the K-1. If not, then try the CR-1 as mentioned above and document every part of the marriage!

Good luck!

It really isn't about your age difference but you showing a bonafide relationship.

1. You said you visited 3 times. Over how long a period?
2. You meet how long ago?
3. Your 3 visits were how long in duration?
4. You meet his family and friends and have their support and Blessing?

Honestly your chances are so much greater for a possible approval if you marry like mentioned above. No not a guarantee but it shows you are committed towards each other. Sometimes with much older younger a K1 couple shows the CO that they aren't sure (may not be the case but heck why not marry).

Great you love each other and all that but the CO at embassy doesn't know you. If I was a CO and a 40 years older woman's profile showed up on my desk with engaged I would wonder why the hold up why not just get married. Especially if you have known each other over sometime.

My fiance (Male - USC) is 32 years older than me and we aren't thinking to much about the age red flag cause we have many vists to each other in last 3 years. Just front load or give as much bonafide evidence as you can.
Wish you well in your journey

With that age difference, in one of the highest fraud countries, the chances are just about zero of getting a K-1. There is no need for anyone to sugar coat the fact that it won't happen. Even if you get married and file for cr-1 you will still have a very HARD uphill battle. Good luck.

there is a BIG difference between Australia and Nigeria..I mean HUGE difference. Nigeria has just about the highest incidence of fraud, if not THE highest. Plus the petitioner is female and far beyond child bearing years, a big part of the culture in Nigeria...really you are comparing apples to oranges.

When a man is older than a woman there is the assumption that he is still sexually capable and classic relationship views always have old men marrying much younger woman for protective and reproductive purposes. In many cultures men marrying a bride the age of their grandchildren is very common. Usually a man has things that a young woman is will to accept in return for dealing with an older man , a good deal of wealth and strength in the community.

When it comes to a young man marrying a woman the age of his grandmother, that swims upstream of all social norms. The man is at least for the moment giving up his ability to increase his lineage. Usually woman are not as secure in their old age as men are. Post menopausal women aren't the same sexually as ones still in their child producing years. With over half the non Nigerian 2 Nigerian relationships being fraudulent on the part of the Nigerian every red flag should be carefully examines. These are the people that can sweet talk peoples entire life savings out of their pockets in the chase of hidden treasures that have a few issues in getting to them. There are some legit US /Nigerian couples with decade or more age differences with the woman being older but for every legit one that passes through here there are a dozen where the man will be gone before the ink on the green card is dry. The embassy knows this well and will surely closely investigate his claims of love and if you are not integrated into his family for all your visits then you have little hope of getting him here even with a lengthy AP that is sure to come for field investigations.

Sounds unobtainable to me! Read as much as you can do some searching see how many passed their interviews with all the red flags. Do some due diligence.
