The age difference is rather large but besides that, from what you state, I don't see any other red flags. Don't worry about it, go ahead with the k1 inchallah. And why is your name mike lol

Geez, Charles. The thread went :poof!: and I thought I was losing my mind :lol:

I think my red flags are age gap , I just get divorced, and the time between knowing my wife and the engagement

May I ask what is the "cultural norm" age difference average is for a MENA marriage? What about a 10 year age difference? In US, this is considered slightly high, but not a serious aberration. A 7 year age gap in US is about the common maximum.

From a Manila Consulate perspective, the cultural age gap can be 30 years+ btwn the man and woman, and it wont get a second glance or question for visa approval, and that is a wonderful thing! :star:

You are Moroccan? Did you come here on a K1 with an American woman and recently got divorced?

Her question was about the divorce. Did you marry an American and then come to the US? How did you get to the US? born here, student, married...?? I don't think the age gap will be any problem. The divorce part that you didn't mention in your initial post, i don't know.

He or she was asking because if you did come here on a K1, married a USC, then divorced her and went back to Morocco to marry a Moroccan woman, it will raise suspicions. The shorter the previous marriage (esp if the divorce came soon after citizenship), the harder it will be to get a visa for your fiancee. That's not anyone here being judgemental, it's reality. We need information so we can give you the best advice.

Relax - if people here had a problem with people from other countries, they wouldn't be on this forum. And the person you're being nasty to is either Moroccan, or married to one.
