Help! Age difference for k1

[Lemonslice 4,834]

Age difference should not matter but once the older woman is past childbearing years is does bring about questions in the mind of the CO. Be sure that your fiancé addresses this issue in her letter of "HOW WE MET" statement. Explain that you do not want children etc and that both families have accepted the age difference. On its own it is not a reason for denial but if there are other red flags it becomes more crucial.

Who said he does not want children?

Who said he does not want children?

Or that someone who is 44 can not have children.

[natasha-mehdito 137]

Well thats true...I was making an assumption and trying to see it from the CO's eyes. Typical child bearing age is before 44 but of course there are exceptions. And adoption of course...whatever their plans are should be explained in the statement.

I don't know why you are coaching them on this. They should put whatever is the honest truth about their relationship, not what is most likely to have it accepted by the CO. The chance of legitimacy are already not high and it could border on instructing them on how to commit fraud.

Fraud? That is not even close to my intention. I am showing them that the CO might question this and it is very helpful to address it in the statement before the interview. In Muslim countries especially, it is highly unusual for a man to marry an older woman at the end of child bearing years. I'm not coaching anything. Just trying to help then avoid discrimination. It should absolutely be the truth. If you read my posts again maybe you will see it differently. I would never advise anyone to lie.

It is a very common scenario on VJ, head on over to the MENA forum.

I had converted before i met him and they said "afraid he would convert me" / paying no attention to some of our paperwork

and to answer your question, yes, marry and do the CR 1

took us about 3 and 1/2 weeks to do all the steps and documents to marry

was there 2 months for this visit and back later 1 month for a honeymoon

to marry you need to get affidavit of eligibility to marry ($60) as US embassy

translate this and her other documents into Arabic and take to Rabat to Offiice of Foreign Minister

and then back to you city for interviews with judge and police

YOu need strong evidence so photos of her and your family, the marriage celebration, cards, chats, are needed

and spend as much time together as you can

Oh wow I read that wrong think it's the fancy writing lol. I wouldn't worry too much. Are there other red flags

It's ok

Thanks a lot for reply, and what are red flags please ?

[Ulysis 0]

I would do the cr1 to be sure because that is quite a gap and if you don't want to stress about it go with the cr1

I'm really thinking about that, but she wants me asap with her in usa. But we should look on what's best not quickest

Thank you so much

For Morocco when an older woman is with a younger man it is a red flag. Especially when the woman is close to being out of the preferred child bearing age.

i would suspect you may have some scrutiny.

Aha! thank you for that useful information!

can you tell me please what is all considered as red flag ?

Thanks once more

OP, this is very consulate-specific. What CO is looking for is not age difference, but consulate-specific fraud pattern. What is the most common MENA country immigration fraud?

1) Man from Morocco meeting much older woman from US. Check.

2) One meeting and proposal. Check that.

3) K1 application. Check.

You have nearly zero chance.

Meet more. For longer time. Introduce her to parents. Marry in Morocco. Apply for CR1. Don't waist your time.

The Consulate are very used to seeing age differences like that.

Is she divorced, does she have children?

Ohh good news!

yes she is divorced with 4 grown kids the youngest is 20. They are all dependidng on themselves and married, except the youngest.

[Ulysis 0]

Yes, I think you will face some problems.

You would increase your chances of a successful visa application by spending more time together in person.

If she is divorced with children, you will likely have a long visa journey. Also, if she has converted to Islam since meeting you, then you will have met most of the red flags for this Consulate.

Aha! thank you

So I think we should not hurry up and see each other once again.

Yes she is divorced with 4 grown up children. No she is not converted to Islam.

There is zero chance. Marry and apply for CR1. Even CR1 is a long shot.

Religion

Cultural

Age

Facetime

Meeting your family and vise versa

Some i can think of

[Ulysis 0]

It doesn't mean you will get denied for sure, but yes, it is a big red flag, especially as she is unlikely to be able to have kids with you.

Any other red flags, such as is she a different religion from you, decently divorced, did you try for a US via before?

The best thing you can do to counteract red flags is to spend a lot of time together, and meeting eachother's families.

That's really so helpful to me!

yes my religion is different than hers, and divorced long time ago, no i have never requested US visa before, but I went to France. IS that Okay ?

Thank you for the advice

If there are red flags or doubts in your case you would get denied either route....

Morrocos a tough embassy either way.

Get lots of evidence to take away from age difference....

Lots of evidences like what ?

Thank you!

hmm thats alot for morocco , if it was philipines it may not be a big deal

Ohh okay.

Thank you!

Search Morocco Age Difference. A lot of stories here some good, some hard. Found this one:

"I'm 21 years older than my husband and we were approved in a day by the Moroccan consulate. Age difference alone is not a red flag. USCIS knows your ages when they approve your case to go to the consulate, so that can't be used against you "just because". But age can be considered if additional negative information is found by the CO's that makes age difference seem to be a factor. "
