This post made my day only because I read it wrongly. What I understood is that "my wife had kids that are 8 years older than me." I thought, gee this guy has problems, makes me feel good about my own!

Seems you have nothing to worry about! Good luck!

My wife is 16 years older than I am. And I've never been more in Love with someone. I've never been this happy in my life. Sometimes I jokingly call her a cougar. We are so deeply in love.

My wife is 12 years older than me. But we love each other, and so involved with each other for the last couple of years that never felt that gap.

My wine is getting tastier as she is getting older :-)

But in practical world USCIS see this as red flag.

Wanted to know if you guys did anything or present yourself/your application in some special way that to

handle this red flag of big age gap?

If so, please share.

Also is someone (done with AOS) has similar experience, please share your thoughts on this.

All the best !!

I'm 9 years older than my husband. We go for our interview next week, I'll update here if the age difference is brought up at all. I've read it's more likely to be an issue when one person's culture looks down on it. That's not an issue for us, since my husband's Canadian.

I didn't do anything different at all on our application with regards to the age difference. I don't really know what we could have done.

only thing i guess you can do just make your application stronger with more evidences, affidavits from family/friends, joint finacial actt's etc.
