Just to clarify K1 visa without RFE are still under a year 7 to 9 months (APPX 268 days per visa journey stats) from filing to visa in hand where spousal visas are taking well over a year (APPX 410 day per visa journey stats) so it is a personal decision on the individual couple which is superior and which works better for you. Its true that the cost is less and that you are a permanent resident upon arrival under the spousal visa. Basically all the "adjustment of status" work that would need to be done with a K1 visa is already complete but that is the very reason why it takes so much longer to complete the spousal. The pros of the K1 are you can be with your significant other much sooner the con is you still have to do the adjustment of status and wait on your green card once your here. This is very much the couples personal decision which is better or not but i recommend you research and see what the actual time lines are before making your final decision utilize multiple sources for your time line for example dont just use what i a saying as fact  do some research and find your facts and what is the best decision for you. Good luck to you.

23 age gap would be about normal from what I have seen.

Start getting like 40 years age gap, as they say " Old Carabao eat young grass" 
 
 
 

Biggest age gap I saw come through was 37 years.    That is very young grass.    And it doesn't help that the filipinas look younger than their years.    

This one has come to life again!     ... started back in 2011 ... still has a breath of life in it.
 
23 years is not even close to the record for age gap ...     
 
.. sorry but this is a common topic and you have nothing to be concerned about.  n-o-t-h-i-n-g
