Age and court marriage

[Jello00909 0]

Hello guys. My fiancé is twice my age and she doesn't act her age. I don't have a problem with that tho! I want to know if that will be an issue at the embassy? And it's court marriage okay?

it might be a red flag but it doesnt mean it will be an issue, the fact that she is from Ghana might be an issue.

Unfortunately a large age gap, especially when the women is older, seems to be an issue at the Ghana embassy. While they shouldn't be able to deny you for that reason alone, I've seen a lot of cases denied on this site and most have that factor in common.

That said it is not impossible. Focus on providing good, solid evidence. Make sure your fiancé travels to Ghana several times and spends plenty of in person time with you. Don't do any kind of engagement party or traditional marriage...that will get you denied really quick. And if you plan to get married, don't do it on the first trip. That has cost several people their visas.

Good luck!

I have seen many similar age difference with your Consulate, they are quite used to seeing this. You will find many similar stories on VJ.

Good luck.

i think our age gap is probably one of the biggest and he is from high fraud country also

you will need to do much more than normal applicaiton to prove the relationship

we went thru 3 (K1 and 2 CR 1 interviews)

Eventually after 6 years we finally got the visa

What i had to do was what most do for the AOS

i had to do quick claim deed adding his name to deed of house

i had to apply for ITIN when filing my tax returns and then add him to bank account

i added him to life insurance, will, 1 utility billl

So, in 2015 at last interview, he had been on tax returns since 2010

this will be a struggle for you and i wish you best of luck but remember

Do not take the frustration of immigration out on each other

Do not quit

Stay faithful to each other

And prepare yourself by good face time ( i made 5 visits of 2 of 1 month, 2 months, 2 three months), photos of not only you and spouse but with family in Ghana

lawyer is not much of a help (had 1 for 1st CR1 and he was worthless)

If denied, appeal is waste of time and money, just reapply

all this is only my opinion but been there / done that

Great info . We did the same to get approved. I was putting up a building in ghana so I added my wife's name also her name was included in our rental room in ghana . She also added me to her 401 acc and life insurance. We had a commercial cab in ghana and our name was on the documents ..

We're not saying if your spouse can not afford to do that, force him/her to do . Not that please .

Court marriage alone is very frowned upon. Don't waste your time and money if you will just go to court and sign marriage certificate and bring it to the embassy. They will deny you. Have a real ceremony and take lots of pictures.
