Hi, it actually depends on the embassy/consulate who will review your case. I had a K1 interview in Manila 3 years ago and there was this couple before me who took 2 hours for the interview to be completed! (The guy was, I think 20-30 years older than the girl) No judgment. And my interview was just 5 minutes! Ayayay. I am sure if you guys can prove that the relationship is legitimate, you dont have to worry at all!

Thank you all for the replies. I am 32 and he is 22 and I'm from the Philippines. He went here thrice already and we're almost 2 years in a relationship this December.

They may scrutinize a bit more given that he is quite young. Just give them tons of evidence. Best of luck to you two!

Hey Everyone,

We just sent our I-129F packet last week and just waiting to hear from them anytime soon. My fiance, the petitioner is 10 years younger than me. Will it be an issue since the guy is younger than the woman and he is the petitioner? This kinda bothers me if it will be a red flag. 

It depends on his country

A 10 year age gap is not that much of a difference..I am 10 years older than my husband and we went through, what some like to call, a difficult embassy (Nigeria)...However, we had very good quality evidence to prove a bonafide marriage and we were approved. OP you should be okay, just make sure to have good, credible evidence to back your relationship.

If he were from. Morocco, Ghana or Nigeria you'd have an uphill battle.   As long as it's otherwise solid, I doubt it'll be an issue  10 years isn't that big of a gap.

That really isn't that big of an age gap. I think it depends on the consulate. I was the petitioner, female and 11 years younger than my now husband. Ours was London, UK. The age difference was never even brought up so I'm sure you're fine. A red flag would be more like a 30 year age difference.

Country does make a big difference but evidence makes the biggest difference.

For the Philippines even a 30-year age gap is not that unusual 😄

 

It it all depends on the local customs. I am from the U.K. and 8 years younger than my husband. That has always seemed like a big age gap to me. But in other countries age gaps of 20 years and more are not unusual.
