OP., first, you got PLENTY of advice, especially with regards to the age difference and the fact that she's sending you money. Just because it wasn't the type of advice that you were expecting ("It's all going to be good", "No need to worry", etc) it doesn't mean that no advice was given. People here want you to be prepared for the uphill battle that you'll face (because you will have it hard). You said that she sends you money, that she is 55 but she doesn't look 55. Put yourself in the CO's shoes, or even better, imagine a friend of you came with the same story: you make it look as if she was your sugar mamma. 

The point that everyone is making here is that you have to present solid, good evidence that you entered the relationship in good faith and not for immigration purposes. Money transfers and beauty are not solid evidence. What do you have to counterbalance this?

This @Vaqar Malik is the point - we aren’t giving this advice to rag on you but to prepare you for the line of questioning this kind of age difference and marrying on first in person visit leads to. So that you can be prepared to answer in best way possible.

Mr. Malik, I read somewhere on their official site, if the age difference is 3-5 yrs then it doesn't effect to your application.

OP is not answering most of the questions, and is getting offended when people ask even the most basic/tame of questions...

Not true or even helpful for OP, who has a 29 year age difference.

The audacity of some people is staggering. It’s abundantly obvious this is not legitimate. I hope the embassy get the right outcome.

First of all, this is not relevant for OP. Their age difference is 29 years, so, yeah, it’s going to affect their application. Even if the age difference was 3-5, that doesn’t guarantee approval. The whole case needs to be wholesome.

I would like to see where he read that about a 3-5 year age gap.
