Do you have kids?

Are you fine with not having kids?

How will you take care of her once you get here?

Will you guys still live with her mother?

 

I would suggest that you meet more then once. Right now as you say you have talked online for less then a year she is in your homecountry now (a hard embassy and most likely AP time also) for the first time and you will get married. 

She is 20 years older then you.

 

 

See it from the embassy point of view. A young male with his whole life in front of him finds a 20 year older disabled women. He is saying now to a future family and so and they have know each other for under a year met once where they also got married and then apply for visa right after.

 

i don't have kids ( i never married before ) 

and she didn't have kids 

i will take care of here by finding job 

and  we  will take our own place to live together ( not with her mother  )

 

& plz 

i didn't understand this part ( a hard embassy and most likely AP time also )

You are facing a vey hard embassy it's not an easy embassy you will need a lot of evidence of a bona fide marriage. 

Thats why i said you should meet more then this one time before you file for the visa and also meet in between the year where the visa is processing. One visit with the wedding won't be enough evidence in your case.

 

You say you will help her by working. So if you are gone 9 hours a day who will take care of her while you work? take her to appointment and so on?

There have been a number of cases similar to yours here on Visa Journey.  Some of them are still waiting after several years.  You will face many questions.  Have you ever applied for a visa before now?

Egypt is considered to be high fraud so they look very closely at every case. With the number of red flags and short relationship time together in person, it will likely end in a refused visa. I agree with the others that more time together and more evidence will be needed for a favorable outcome.

 

Egypt is also known to sometimes have longer Administrative Processing timelines after the interview (for security checks and such).

As other have said, Egypt is a hard embassy due to high visa fraud concerns, and your case is difficult because there are a lot of red flags (1) You've known each other online for like half a year (2) you've met in person once and got married that time (3) she is 20 years older (4) the age gap creates other issues because you might not have things in common, do you share interests? activities? does she speak your language? (5) the 2 countries are very different which also could question what do you have in common or what is the basis of the relationship, is she of Middle Easter descent?

 

I'm not sure if any evidence of bona fide marriage might help counterbalance all those issues. Even in a non-high fraud visa country this might be a hard case.

 

As someone else has mentioned, she could move to Egypt. She could still get she disability checks or whatever she is receiving abroad. The only problem could be health insurance, depending the cost and the quality of it in Egypt. After living together for a while it might be easier to get the visa to move back to the US.

I would not pursue a spouse visa (it usually takes longer), I think that in your case would be better to try the K1 (finance visa), it might show them that you actually have good intentions with the marriage...I'm with a pending AOS and my husband is 28 years older than me, the big difference between my case and yours is that we met each other online  in August of 2010 and spoke on the internet for a little over a year before meeting in person, he visited my country 2 months after our first meeting that happened in February of 2012 in Mexico and I applied for a Tourist Visa right after he left Brazil in April of 2012.

After my visa was approved I visited USA many times to be with him and he visited me once more in my home country in 2014. The last time that I came was September of 2016 and we were planning on getting married in my country in January of 2017. As we had the opportunity to buy a house last December, the money got short and a big wedding in Brazil was out of the plate...because of it we decide to get married here wile I was in my tourist visa and now I'm going through the AOS process.

I think you should enjoy her visit wile she is there, take as much pictures as you can in different places with different people and try to apply for finance visa, there are plenty of people that get it after only meeting in person for once. I don't think that the fact that she is disabled will affect your application (it would be a huge sign of prejudice against disabled people) she have as much right as anyone else to fall in love and be loved, and as of for you, I don't see why you could not fall in love with her because I don't believe anyone can truly fall in love with a body, you love the person and how she makes you feel, not what she look like!!!, just make sure that you have a strong relationship and that you're prepared to explain the reasons why you love her and why you want to be with her. I never thought that I would fall in love with a man that was older than my father, but here I am madly in love and not giving a dam about the age gap or about other people think about it.

Make sure you know your partner and that she knows you too as you can't really fall in love to someone that you don't really know...love letters exchange will help, e-mails, money transferences and even the fact that you paid for her ticket to come and see you, all of it will be helpful for your case.

Good luck to you, peace!
