You already received excellent advice from your previous post.

Perhaps head over to the regional forum for more specific answers

good luck

Hello, in my opinion you should completely bypass the Fiance visa and go for spousal. Marry in a 3rd country, not in Pakistan. Marrying there seems to create a whole new world of problems for couples of mixed religion. We married in Singapore but that may be more difficult now as Singapore started giving only family travel visas to Pakistanis last year (my husband was denied twice in 2014 for a travel visa but we had no issues in 2012 and 2013).

If you can go on holiday with siblings or parents, maybe you could get the Singapore family visa to do your wedding there. In Singapore a Christian and Muslim can marry very easily, no problem. It is a civil marriage. Take your family members there to witness the marriage. That helped us a great deal during the interview questioning. We also made sure that he took the interview in English as that is the only language I know.

There is a prior 15 day residency requirement in Singapore but your fiancee can do that alone. It doesn't require both of you to be there for that residency period. Yes, it will cost a small fortune but it worked for us. I know many on here say don't use a lawyer and waste your money, but I think you should as that 'stamp' really seems to have helped us. My husband is now here in the US with me and already has his green card. I am 12 years older and we are different religions. I am a female US Citizen and he is a male Pakistani.

Don't rush to get the visa...spend as much time as possible together before you apply, especially after the wedding. This may help to avoid AP but no one really knows. We had no AP and were approved at the interview. We married in March 2013 and I applied in December 2013 for the spousal visa. We took the months between to spend as much time together as possible. Dubai is the easiest place to meet but we also met in Singapore and Malaysia. We received the visa in under a year, which is not very common for couples in our situation. His interview was in November 2014.

Everything I've said is my opinion but is based on our own personal visa journey.

i cant afford to travel to Singapore...

she will stay with me only for 5 to 6 days..she has good job in usa and dont wanna lose that job.

if we stay together only five days then there will be an other red flag on our 5 days relationship...

Neither visa will be easy for you to get, as you have two big red flags- difference in religion and in age. What you can do to overcome these is lots of face time, ie physical meetings. How often has she visited and for how long? Make sure you have photos, hotel receipts, boarding passes etc.

Some say a spousal visa is a little easier to get in difficult cases like yours because it shows more of a comittment.

there is another guy who has 15 years age gap but he got visa last month.

i wanna know will conslor accept our 5 days relationship if we get married?

Sadly you won't know until you try to apply.

Nobody can tell you if you will get denied or approved for sure.

So you met for 5 days so far, and this will be the second meeting coming up, where you consider getting married at? I think your chances are not great, with your red flags. I would suggest a third meeting before filing, and a fourth between filing and interview (bonus if she can be there for your interview). Does she have family- parents, kids, siblings? If thy can come along and be seen to support the marriage, that will help too.

My husband and I are from different religions. He is a muslim I am christian, and even though we were in AP for some time we were approved. Also, we have an age gap not 16 years, but an age gap. As long as you have a truthful relationship you should not worry. You take as much evidence as you have of your relationship and speak the truth and you guys will be fine.

thank you so much.

Well, that I really would not know what to say. B/c if you are looking for the fastest option, my opinion is that immigration overall is a slow process.
