Hi guys and girls, my fiancée and I are planning on going through the K-1 Visa process, I am the beneficiary and my fiancée is the US citizen.

I'll be having my consulate interview in Sydney Australia and I'm just looking for some tips, recommendations and experiences with the Sydney Australia Consulate. I'm 18 years of age and my fiancée is 23, we meet all the necessary requirements but I'm a little worried about how my age will effect the interview. Basically I want to know if my age will effect the interview and how to answer any questions about my age, I'm generally a very shy person and I'm not very good with answering on the spot.

I'm also curious to see if anyone else has had a similar experience and how they dealt with it!

Thank you for your time and consideration!

I would be highly surprised if they said one word about having only a 5 year difference.

You do know that there are a LOT of older guys who go to countries specifically to meet a younger wife/fiancee and they get visa's approved? Five to ten years is really nothing compared to the 60 year old men who are marrying these 18-24 year old girls in some countries and bringing them home.

Really, as long as you can prove the relationship is real, the age doesn't mean anything until the Adjustment of Status interview (If you're called for one). Even then I highly doubt five years would even raise an eyebrow.

I do realise that, however I never really thought about that, thank you!

We have a lot of strong evidence I guess I'm just stressing about nothing!

Thank you considering this post and taking the time to reply, it's much appreciated!

Ben.
