The CO cannot deny you because of your age difference but it may make them look at your case a little bit more. Just make sure you have a lot of evidence to prove you have a bonafide relationship.

Try not to worry, after all you can't change your ages. Zee is right, make sure you provide enough evidence. And if you're still worried, ask your wife to come for your interview.

The other poster's are correct they can't deny it for that reason but..... you can pretty well be assured that you will be put on AP. My SO and I have an 11 year age difference. I went over to Nigeria in May to see my SO and while there, met with the investigating officer at the Embassy, when I asked why we were put on AP, I was told it was due to our age difference. She said, age differences such as ours is just not done in Nigeria, it's not accepted, especially by the family. Not true in our case but.... that's what she said. I would certainly make sure you have tons of family support, lot's of pics with her and your family. They did a home visit in our case and talked with neighbor's. If I were you, I would just prepare myself for AP and like the other poster's said... make sure everything is in order. Good luck!
