No one puts yardstick or raises eyebrows. COs in each country have red flags in mind. Those red flags developed based on most commonly occuring fraud in each country. The most common fraud in MENA is:

amkhan
amkhan

if your family has no problem with your marriage then why u need K1 visa.....get marry and apply for CR1 you will have more chances to approved its better then K1.... getting pakistan visa is not much

Interesting, I never knew that about Pakistan, just seemed that in the the other MENA countries it was very unusual.

The CO's will be familiar with local norms so should not be an issue.

Its the same in Pakistan too. Most men want younger women. And If we look at whats normal there, then love marriage is considered very odd too. OP is in love, age, religion, race doesn't matter when you love someone.

Moreover,what signed affidavits from family?you are 20 plus .You can marry at your own will

No, signed affidavits are required as a proof that your family has accepted your engagement and are happy with your love too.

Not in person but she talk to her almost everyday on Skype.

Then that is good...keep screenshots of those Skype video calls. Then have some messages exchanged between your fiance and your parents.

These might be requested or might not..but it is good to have them there if CO should question you on that.

I thought this website was to help people who are worried but seems like people just put u down. No im not out of the hot seat but i wasnt denied and nothing was been asked for. I love my fiancee and we have spent alot of money to see each other more then once just because im older doesnt mean a thing. We were friends things happen and i pray to god everyday day we will be approved soon

Hello I am new here just needed some assistance regarding to K1 Visa. My Us Fiancé applied for my K1 visa back in September 2015 although everything went pretty smooth our I.129 petition got approved in 5 weeks.Long story short got my 3.5 packet on December 3rd and sent my documents back to the Us Embassy Islamabad on 6th of December now just waiting for the interview appointment letter . The only thing I am worried about is the age difference I am from Pakistan and she is from the United States we have been dating for 4 years I am 21 and she is 42 we got engaged last year on may 3rd 2015 in Dubai i got good evidence to prove that our relationship is real and both of our parents also arppove the marriage but still i am worried about the age difference as it would raise a red flag to the consular :/.

This particular age gap, gender-focused, is outside of the cultural norm for Pakistan.

So, yes, it will be a red flag to the Vice-Consul that interviews you on interview day.

Be prepared !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
