Another K1 / CR1 Decision

[Caro1 78]

Hello everybody,

 

I have read the pros/cons of choosing K1 over CR1 as well as multiple other forum posts, but I wanted to get some advice for my specific situation.

 

I am German, my fiancée is the USC. We have a rather large age difference - 27 years. I am 24, my girlfriend is 51. It will be a same sex marriage, although I don't know if that's relevant to the case since the US Supreme Court ruling. My opinion is that larger age differneces are much more common in same sex relationships.

As far as I have read, Germany is not a high fraud country, I am however worried about how our relationship looks on paper.

 

My fiancée makes enough money to fulfill the 125% poverty income requirement, I make a lot more money, since I am a high skilled worker. I work in IT and have a masters degree, while she holds a HS-Diploma.

 

We have a real relationship. We lived together for the first 6 months of the realtionship in the US (while I was on a student visa). Since, I've visited her for 1 month, she has visited me twice for three months each time. So we have spent a lot of time physically together. We also met in person, initially in 2009, but didn't became a couple until 2015 during my student visa stay in the US.

 

We obviously want to be together as soon as possible, but are afriad on getting denied due to the age difference and difference in ability to make money. I'm afraid it looks on paper like I want to buy into this marriage, which is not true.

 

Anyway, I really appreciate any advice I can get!

Thank you!

She makes 125% of the income minimum which is all that matters financially. Unfortunately, your income (or potential income) isn't taken into consideration. While the age gap is quite large and you are younger, it might be a red flag however you have spent significant time together, including visits, and don't come from a high fraud country. I think you should be okay

You aren't from a high fraud country so u should be ok. No problem with same sex marriage - it's legal. Nothing sticks out. I don't think u will have a problem.
