Lived with my wife together for only 15 days, would this be an issue?

I'm a USC and my wife is in Jordan. We lived together for 15 days after we got married and now I'm putting together my I130 petition to bring her to the states. Is living together for short period of time going to be an issue?

No not at all. When you live countries, from eachother, you don't tend to live together at all.

That being said, if you are saying you only met your wife once, married on the first visit and have only seen her for the 15 days after then yes, that could be an issue- the more time spent together (not necessarily living together- meeting with chaperones before marriage is fine too) the better.

I think there a lot of people in this position OP; to answer the related question on the I-130, you can state "Have not lived together"

No. Not an issue. However, be certain to show other evidence of a bonafide marriage, per the instructions.

I don’t really think will be an issue, as soon as you can show proof; like conversations, letters, messages, and pics etc.. Try to collect every single thing you have to improve your case. With fact every case is different; I have been married for years now and my visa still pending even though we brought a lot of proof for our marriage.

Good to see someone else from Jordan! Have you had your interview yet or are you still waiting?

I had my interview on February 2013, but my visa is pending under administrative processing. I'm still waiting for it to get approved. I wish you good luck with your case.
