Is an age a factor when applying?

Just out of curiosity I was wondering how the immigration officers look at younger couples applying for a K-1 visa. Do you think it sways there decision? My thought is that I'm 23 and my fiance is 24 - of course we would wait if we were both citizens of the same country but he is my soul mate and i love him very much - the only way we can be together is if we get married. Whats the avarage age of people on here who are in the situation of a K-1 visa?

I'll probably get blasted for this due to some visitors of this website falling into this

While I am apposed to marriages outside of a 10 year age difference across the board, (80% are a disaster due to vast generational gaps and differences. There are exceptions 20% of the time.) I am sure it is refreshing for them to see couples that are closer to each others age range, and both younger. Much less "Jerry Springer" for them to have to deal with in their jobs. But as far as effecting the visa process at all, no law is in place to effect that.

18 is not a magical age. So why it is still legal for a 40+ year old megalomaniac man to marry an 18 year old girl is beyond me. Otherwise, why have the age of consent at all? It's just a form of legal pedophilia to me.

Backwards logic to me. But whatever, it's your life, ruin it as you like.

Sure maybe they should not allow interracial relationships and even lets go as far as people of differant faith also.

Who is to say what a person feels for another?

Love comes in all differant sizes,shapes,colors and ages.

The way i see it is if a person is mature and of legal age and is able to know what they want in life there shouldnt be any restrictions put on them by any outside entitys.

I am 39 and my fiancee is 19 we started as friends and after chatting for 2 months we found that we started falling in love with each other. Did i ever think i could find someone so much younger than me compatible with me ? NO but it happend and i am so happy for it happening. Some people think, oh what can you possibly have in common?

1. The desire to be loved

2. We both want strong family values

3. Video gaming (even at my age i am still a gamer, always will be)

4. Botany and gardening

5. sunsets and the one you love on the beach

6. poetry

These are only few things we have in common, me and my fiancee talk every day 2 times each day for 4 hours each session and not 1 time did we not have very fun and loving conversations. At the end of each talk session we both hate saying byeee because we want to be together so much,she send's me messages all day long even she knows its 1am,2am, and i get up for work at 3am.

At first i felt weird about the age differance like i was doing something wrong,but she told me age is only a number and means nothing as long as you have love.

You are right about everything love comes in, except the age issue in terms of the kind of "love" you are talking about. I love my best friends daughters. That doesn't mean I want to marry them and control them.

I hear the same excuses/reasons/rationalies from all older men who marry a younger woman. Nothing is new. "She has an old spirit" "I am young at heart" blah blah blah. If you think a fantasy world will be able to cope in reality, go for it. You may be the 20% that make it. But, there is nothing new here. You echo almost exactly what other older men say. It may feel good. But not everything that feels good is really good in the long run.

But it's also a selfish thing too. Not only are you taking away this persons time to be in their 20's and go to school properly. You are treating them like they are inferior the remainder of their lives, and God forbid they westernize and become a bit more independant. That would take away the older mans control. Even more forbid, the children that result in mariages of this type. I find if selfish, foolish, and irresponsible, as well as a form of pedophelia. But whatever, 18 is somehow a magical number and you can be 60 and still marry an 18 year old. That is the world we live it. As I said before, i don't really care. It's your life, risk ruining it as you see fit. Society is to blame for these rules, not common sense. Right?

Ghandi had 8 year old girls bathe with him he called "little fishes" when he was alive. Live the fantasy.

Please don't misunderstand my tone here. I have nothing against you personaly. You are at least a bit younger than the DOM's (dirty old men) out there who give America a bad name and the foreign girls to think they can take advantage of it by practically selling themselves to get out and get nice things.

I wish you luck, as I do everyone in a relationship like this. I hope you ARE the exception to the trend. I do know a couple. Ones who truely seek out an equal partnership through life and serve each other out of total love. It does happen. But unfortunatly the opposite runs rampant.
