There's a 10 year age difference between my husband and I, but we don't let our age determined our love for one another or get in the way...No such thing as "special luck" but just lots of prayers and patience going through this process...Wishing you luck on your journey!

Depends on several factors - is it culturally okay in your background? How long have you known each other?  How often did you meet?  

 

How strict is your embassy?  This would usually be reflective of the fraud rate.

Am worried because my embassy is in Lagos Nigeria with high visa fraud issues. I love my fiancée so much and she loves me too. Our both families support us a lot. I have known her for 3years now and we met twice. I have visited and spent time with her family and we bonded a lot. She has not had the chance to visit Nigeria cos of her job as a caregiver. My K1 interview is in two weeks and I get really bothered most times.

Are you running for President of France?   Kidding............this is not that abnormal, but as someone mention, the CO in Nigeria is going to be going to take a hard look.

If there is race/ religon difference of course it will be seen as someone simply trying to get their foot in the door of USA at a hugh fraud embassy.

 

i know i preferred someone local or at least region.  Was on the serious dating site for several years before i started to look outside the region and of course even then only fell for someone so far away as i truly never met anyone as trustworthy as my now husband.

If you have enough proof that the relationship is real then you should be ok , I mean there are other factors besides that the relationship being real that will determine if you get visa such as criminal record or if she makes enough money to support you here . If you guys see each other on Skype google k1 visa interview questions and practice with her . Like I said if you have enough photos together and proof of conversations emails and such things you should be fine . Good luck !
