The CO can if he is not convinced there relationship is genuine.

Yes but what i mean is there is always a way to overcome the requirement for proving a genuine relationship. It might take longer may even have to refile based on spousal visa. It is extremely difficult but not impossible to convince. It is a matter of time, choice, willingness and the bond of relationship to face all the challenges.

This 100%. I'm sure there are plenty of people who have been denied so many time they've just given up, from the people who end up on bans, to those who just can't seem to convince the CO they're legit.

There is a big difference between feeling true love, and proving true love on paper with proof.They can have all the love in the world, but it doesn't matter if they can't convince the CO that it's real. In this situation, the OP is going to go in already with a big set back. While they may not admit it, but if a CO is already set on saying no, they say no. They say "not enough proof" and you just keep going on and on and on trying to figure out what enough proof is. Eventually you'll have to look at the setbacks and how to counter them. (Culturally, some things are very hard to counter).

The guy's basically going to have to prove himself innocent when he's going to go in guilty.

While some people on VJ have spent 7 years trying to be together, his GF is already 60. I don't see this being a quick process, again, which is why his GF needs to know the ins and outs and be prepared for whats to come.

they haven't met yet have they, or they've only met once? They're just now about to meet in person for the first time soon?

Also you have to prove your relationship for a spousal visa too, spousal visa doesn't mean an auto-in, a lot of people seem to treat it as "Just go spousal visa, it'll be easier".

Sometimes it is better to look at it long term, say she moved to India and in 5 years they considered moving to the US (assuming she is a USC).

Then they would have plenty of evidence and the relationship is much more believable.

So you fell in love with a woman of your mother's age or possibly more at the age of 19? Your chances of getting a visa are very slim.Are you from Punjab?

If she is coming to visit you for the first time then it is best for you to wait until after her visit to file the K1 for a number of reasons.

First and foremost, it is a requirement of a K1 petition to have met in person within the last 2 years.

Her visit will give you a chance to see how well you get along in person and also get to know each other better. Hint: You not knowing her exact age is concerning.

Until after her visit you can continue researching the steps of the K1 process.

Because of the age difference you need to build TONS of needed evidence of a legit relationship during her visit. Suggestion: Her co-mingling with your family to show they are accepting.

The time spent together will give you a partial idea of what life would be like together with her.

You have a very steep hill to climb. An almost 40 year age difference may seem ok to you online, but in a marriage it is a different story. But nothing can start on the K1 visa until you meet first. You are welcome to continue your research here until then.

Ramanbrarn958gb-If you need some advice in Hindi aur Punjabi,you can message me.It's really very difficult for you to prove that you guys are actually in love and not in this for a GREEN CARD.You already have huge Red Flags and if you are from Punjab then it's gonna make it more difficult as the CO knows about the high number of fraud cases from Punjab.I suggest you to hire a Immigration Lawyer who can guide you.

My advise to you is to get married in India and to live with her for a few years.

That way you will have enough evidence and can file for a CR-1 which is a visa for married couples. Immigration is a very expensive process in terms of money AND time. In my opinion, you will have a very hard time getting a K-1 visa after just 1 or 2 or 3 visits as COs also care about how much time you've spent living together. Your age gap is a huge red flag for that part of the world as having biological children from a marriage is a cultural expectation among other things.

I would also highly recommend that your girlfriend post on this forum so she can learn about the process.

Initially, she will be the one doing all the paper work from the U.S. so she needs to know what she's getting into.
