Why do people keep insisting that if the wife is older they have to be scared to death of denial? It is so NOT true. I am 21 years older than my husband, divorced with kids, a different religion and my husband is from the middle east. No one ever mentioned our ages at any stage of this process other than people here on VJ. I was at the interview with my husband at the consulate with my husband and questioned myself by the CO. No one uttered a single a word about our age difference. I have also been on VJ for 3 years and have never seen anyone denied because the woman was older, ever. I really wish people would stop putting the fear of God in women here whose husbands are younger. Seriously.
