Ahhh Thankies.  Can’t even string a sentence together I’m that excited! Here’s hoping yours comes through ASAP 

Yayyy Congrats! Happy to hear this good news from my fellow Octoberee. 

We’re are approved! Updated on the new site but not the old site! @brandonflude1 keep a eye out for yours coming through! 

I hope that at the end of the week people in this topic will get approval

Oh I sure will!  Not letting my phone out of my sight 

Me too!! Waiting waiting as the rest of us Octoberz are (sigh) 

I had a beer with a friend last night who I have known a lot longer than 8 years, you are looking for a Marriage Visa now so get married and lots of time together all the usual stuff married people do.

So why didn't you marry?

What proofs of bonafide relationship you showed for k1 Visa?
 
What proofs are you going to show for cr1? If they denied k1 based of lack of bonafide relationship they might do the same for cr1 Visa. How much time you spend together in person? 

You mentioned American dream bro.. the CO have seen that you’ve attempted twice to go to the United States in 2018 and you reasoned out an exam in your 2 applications. You got engaged in 2017 then applied for k1 this year, right? I’m just reading your post bro. American dream should never be mentioned when you apply for the K1. That’s a wrong reason, IN MY OPINION😊

You sound a little bit too much interested more about your American dream than wanting to be with your fiance. Your fiance could move to your country if you really want to be together. 

An American dream.. I can see why the CO denied your K1 application. 

Me too I called yesterday I got transferred and this lady was super rude omg but today I called again I’m waiting to get a called back all I wanna know is  if a soul has touch my petition 😞😞😞 at least if a background was performed 

I just love your reply! 😁 so after I made the post I had contacted by so many women on the forum privately. You would be surprised how many women on this site are older than their fiancés. It’s not just a common thing here in the states anymore. They all got approved. They took tons of evidence as we all should. I have evidence I’m also going to be getting letters from all his aunts and uncle who all live here who I visit frequently. 

I dont have an answer just yet but I'll have feedback on the 5th of April. Our age gap is not too big (5 years; I'm 30 and hes 25) but I am older which is not common in the middle east and I feel may be a red flag. I've researched about it because its something that worries me also and I've read to just make sure you have a lot of proof of a bonafide relationship. We prepared a lot of pics and communication proof and tons of trip evidence so I hope that's enough for them at the interview.
 
Note: we are also both Christian but I'm not Lebanese. I just happen to be particularly fond of one 😝 lol

**Mod note: I've corrected it for you. Do try to proofread before posting as there's only a limited amount of time to edit posts; we don't usually edit for typos.**
 

 
I'm 12 years older than my husband. We did not have any issues but we also front loaded big time because we also decided to get married after knowing each other only 1 month (yes, insane, I know!) and we were super worried we would be scrutinized. We had some scrutiny during the DCF phase (mildly tough "interview" when we filed the I-130 in person) but after that no issues. I know there are some other older women petitioners here on VJ, some possibly from MENA countries. It's rare but not unheard of.
 
 

And mid Septembers...
 
Another group I belong to specifically for Philippines just had a mid August approval, so things vary wildly unfortunately.

I'm one of the few....I call USCIS, punch in my receipt number and once I hear the prompt say "On October 4th..." I hang up. (sighhh) 😒

Sorry just did 

This wait is to damn much  I can’t take this anymore 😪😪

I found that Wednesdays worked pretty good for me. If you call to late they will also not transfer you to a Tier 2 officer.

Congratulations!! 🎉🎊🎈🍾 Yayy
