Same-sex, age differences and no family support k-1

[Humdy 0]

Hello everybody,

I am 25 and my fiance is 50 we have been dating for 4 years almost, we have a significant age differences but its love and I am deeply in love with him, my family doesnt know about my relationship because of religion things and other stuff, during this 4 years we have met in person 4 times I spent a summer in USA and he visited me 3 times last one was in August, we applied for fiance visa back in February and I have a scheduled interview on 3 of December, I have sent my file with lots of proofs of our relationship and other all documents they want, I am so nervous with the interview and I want to see what you guys think about how it will be, what do you think our chances are, in my country Same-sex marriage is not legal, so I dont have an option to marry here either.

Another question: would me being in USA on another visa help me, I also have SSN, would these things make interview easier?

Thanks in advance for your opinions.

This may be a regional question-- as in what country you're filing from. Your other visa-- what type of visa, did you use it correctly and why do you have an SSN?

From Turkey, and I had a j1 Visa for work and travel so I worked there I used my visa properly no problem thanks.

Sounds mostly fine. The age difference will maybe be a line of questioning, but lots of people have that. The same-sex thing won't be a big deal (and explains the fact that your family doesn't know/doesn't support). Really, just like any other couple you'll need to show a legitimate relationship. Perhaps reading reviews from other people's experiences at your consulate will give you an idea of what to expect.

I was asking about the other visa because if it was a visa that you'd abused or lost, maybe you could be seen as "visa shopping" but you're good there so no worries.

Good luck!

Same sex marriage is legal in the US and that's all that matters.

Each Embassy is different regarding the ease or difficulty of obtaining a K-1 visa; you need to show good evidences that you two will marry, live permanently in the US and stay married.

Having numerous face to face meetings is very good. Hopefully your other evidences will show a total stranger, the Embassy CO, that your relationship is legitimate and you two are serious about it and intend to make it work (love has nothing to do with that).

Your visiting here and returning to your country is a good sign that you do not have visa fraud intentions.

Good luck.

Thank you for your answer but what do you mean by love has nothing to do with that ?

You can't quantify love or prove it.

Love has everything to do with the development of a relationship, for sure, but it has nothing to do with the serious planning that should be made for a move to the US and the plans that should be made and discussed for life in the US. Those should be shown by your evidence.

Now, I suggest to everyone that they include a little "lovey-dovey" stuff in their evidences, because that is what couples that plan to marry do!

So evidence that is only all lovey-dovey doesn nothing to show a legitimate relationship.

Evidence that shows what you talked about, besides the lovey-doevey stuff, the visa process, the move to the US, getting a drivers license, maybe education plans, where to work, health insurance, etc, are what they will want to see.

Alright now I see what you mean, Yes I have lots of proofs I have no problem with that. Thank you for your explanation.

U belong from a Muslim country and u also Muslim, u won't able to get same sex fiancé visa.

U belong from a Muslim country and u also Muslim, u won't able to get same sex fiancé visa.

That's.. not correct.

In the visa process same-sex applicants are treated exactly the same as non same-sex applicants.

While they may ask about the customs of the country in the interview, it is very much illegal for any US consulate officer to deny a visa based solely on that.

Incorrect. Same sex marriage is legal in the US, regardless of religion. And the customs of the beneficiary's country do not apply to immigration to the US.

They will be applying for a visa at the US Embassy. The COs must follow the laws of the US and can not discriminate on the basis of religion.

I wish him good luck and I would like he should come back after interview to tell us story.

Very incorrect. The most recent embassy review (5 stars, the CO treated us like a friend) from Turkey was for a same-sex fiance visa. Plus, what everyone else said. The US does not obey the marriage laws of other countries and one of the bonuses about the K1 visa is that it provides a way for couples who are unable to get married abroad for whatever reason (same sex relationships, prior divorces, mixed religions etc) can still be together under US law.

This is really going to depend on who interviews you
