Yep! I sure would! Never would have thought he was younger than me! Just so happen he was. As a matter of fact everyone thinks he is the older one robbing the cradle. Dad ask him was I I8! hAhA!

The time when age difference makes the biggest issue is in cultures where it is VERY important that a man produce a child, especially a male child and the USC is peri/post menapausal.

Well I donno but in my opinion I don't think it has any impact on your interview. I never heard any had a problem with the age difference at his/her interview. My husby is older than me with 28 years

The age this is pretty normal for the Philippines with the men being older, but in the case you quoted the woman was American and older than her Nigerian fiance, which isn't the norm for their culture

As I read your comments, I realize how similar your cases are to ours/mine. Weather its age difference or cultural differences are concerned, I have the same issues. My fiance and I, don't think age is an issue, and I am older than he is. It sounds like the Embassy might have an issue with it for at his interview they did ask him several times if the age did not bother him? He was placed on AP for reasons unknown???? But was not denied at his interview. So we keep our hopes up. It has been four months now and no reply.

I remind myself that, as an USC, I have rights and those rights include marrying the man I love regardless of our differences. WE are both adults and it is a personal choice and not theirs.

So to those of you with older partners, I salute you for taking a risk and following your hearts and not so much what others say. Happiness is worth overcoming the differences. I wish you each the best life has to offer.

I can understand that. I am considerably older than my fiancee and people think he is older than me or at least my age. The age difference bothered me at first but when I actually met him face to face that all disappeared.

I appear to be younger than I am as when I am with my son, people think he's my husband...lol I love it...Him? not so much!!
