Age gap

[MDB 0]

I'm from Philippines.. 20 years old woman. I am married to a 64 years old American. 

He is no children and one divorce .. 

i meet him in Facebook, we started in being friends in a months and then in relationship   We are one year  in-relationship before we get married.  In a few months he filed a CR1 visa .  But I'm still worried for the age gap we have. 

 

Well .. it's okay for me to stay here in Philippines with my husband but my husband does not want to live here in the Philippines.

An age gap of 20 44 years in the Philippines won't be an issue. With other consulates it can be a reason for more scrutiny, but with the Philippines it isn't a big issue.

It’s not 20. It’s 44. She’s 20. He’s 64. 

I’m not so sure about this one. It’s a big gap.

Sounds not abnormal.

Eek! Yeah, I misread the age gap. Thanks for the correction.

That said, I still think it's not going to be an issue there...USEM isn't big on age gaps.

my wife and I have a 27 year gap, no one as USEM batted and eye, here during AOS yes, during visa interview not at all. I would consider the idea of having the USC attend the interview to show support, a nice visit, and he can help you wrap up loose ends before moving here permanently

Based on the story you told, if he's visited a few times for more than a couple weeks, you should have no problem.  That age gap is not unusual for expats living in the Philippines with Filipinas but it IS on the high end, for visa cases.  Still, the key will be how much time you've spent together in person.

 

If he can be there for the interview, that would help.

Sounds good.  Just be well prepared for the interview and there will be no reason to worry.
