Praying for a miracle and hoping someone out there has been in our shoes..

My love and i have been together for a year , madly in love does not even come close to what we feel. I have traveled to see him 3 times in the last 11 months , the first time in Oct 2011 for 5 days , than november 2011 for 10 days and February 2012 for 3 weeks. I have all the proof of relationship , pictures, emails ,receipts everything and anything. Our only issue is there is a 20 year age difference, god just writing that seems so odd becuase it really doesnt matter between us - he is very mature and i am in fabulous shape. Age is just a number and anyone in our company would be able to tell within seconds that its real and we just want to be together..... he is 25 and i am 45.

I have four children my son is age 23, three daughters ages 16, 14, and 9

we are both muslim.

I would appreciate any feedback out there....

You should really post in the MENA forum. They will be able to give you the best advice on what to expect.

Good luck.

I will repost there.. Thx !

Sorry, it didn't let me continue...

There are other traits to be taken into consideration such as:

religious differences?

finances?

educational level?

if the beneficiary has family or friends in the US?

if the petitioner transfers money constantly to the beneficiary?

and other common characteristics that may come into play. In fact, there's a petitioner from Egypt who went through all the process only to be a victim not only of fraud, but of domestic violence within 2 months of his arrival in the US. While putting her case together, she found out about the 20something y/o ladies he was already lining up.

This is NOT an isolated case. Unfortunately, it's more common than we think.

we are both muslim

of course I am more established with my career but he will have his engineering degree soon

yes he has family memebers in the US - not in Texas

no money transfers

I do not mean to be intrusive but, is your 23 year old a female? If yes, be very ready for the CO to ask your fiance: how come you'll marry a lady who has a daughter your age? Rehearse, rehearse and rehearse.

Good luck

No my son is 23 and living off on his own, my daughters are 16 , 14 and 9.

you don't know that. plenty of women have given birth at the age of 45 and after. i understand the point you were trying to make, but you didn't make it correctly.

op - it is possible that the embassy will question your fiance's motives, considering that culturally speaking it is important that males are capable of having children with their wives. but this is only one potential part of the age difference issues that face MENA couples..they are obstacles that can be overcome with substantial evidence of a committed relationship such as multiple visits.

we have three visits and i am planning another before the end of the year. I dont know what we will do if this is denied, its so painful being apart and living by messenger , emails and the phone... traveling is so expensive and hard with my work schedule.. but even harder to be separated for so long. Its been seven months and I am just miserable without him.

Fab as you may be, you cant have kids anymore and that will be a MAJOR red flag.

My god how informative that was , the enlgish translation was excellent. I am half middle eastern and half american and I know the children issue is huge. we dont have an answer for this one. Just sad really as I would love to have his baby.

In MENA countries a larger age gap will often invite more scrutiny than in other parts of the world. And it seems that when the USC petitioner is a female and older it's even truer.

OP, do some reading in the regional forum to learn from other members who have married younger men in the region.

thank you so much!

Does he have kids, do U? those R some of the questions that may come up............good luck

He has no children and I have four ages 23, 15 , 13 and 9. I know the scrutiny will be tough and I worry about him being nervous thru the interview but my evidence is completely rock solid. Will just keep praying.

I have. 19 years gap with my fiancé and it doesnt feel like it too. You're fine!! Yay! Congrats!!

Thank you! just bothers me that a man can do this with no questions but as a woman it seems suspicious

30 years for us........

wow 30 years? you both look so happy

congratulations
