K1 denial because of age

The question you two must answer for yourselves and for the Consul:

Will the Moroccan man Marry a Moroccan wife of the same age of the USC?

It has been beed done and couples have proven the relationship is true and strong.

Again, as everyone says the age difference alone is not grounds for denial. 

There must be other red flags. I suggest that you build a very strong case with many visits

and longer stays. I also suggest you prepare for a lengthy journey. I hope I am wrong, but

Best of luck to you two.

 I met a guy who could demonstrate that his marriage was bona fide - he was 73, got married to a 25 years-old girl from Vietnam. It is hard but somehow he defeated the odd. It is a big red flag but with true love, do your best.

That is a vastly different example. Different country and culture, and older male USC with young woman is very common in SE Asian countries. The OP should heed the advice from others on here who have been through Morocco.

Agree. However, the point is, true love needs to be demonstrated, no matter what/where it is.

Love, true love is not a requirement.

The demonstration part😃: vising, face-time, shared-finance, handling beneficiary and beneficiary's family matters, receipts, etc.

 

If they want to live in US, one must petition, and the process is very much similar, some offices look at evidences more thoroughly than other but preparation should be very much same.

 I would suggest depending on the ages to just marry, you have a better chance that way , either way its your choice and what Allah wants  no consule in the world can stop, k1 or cr1, what is meant to happen will. Good luck.

Absolutely correct! Age and local custom play into the decision-making. But unless Allah works at the U.S. Consulate office, it will be up to an American officer - right, wrong, or indifferent. An officer can absolutely stop a visa, but let's hope he/she does not.

Congratulations to the 25 year old on her marriage. But you've  Compared Apples to Oranges.

CASA is not Vietnam.

And what odds are you stating when mainly older USC males marrying younger females in these geographic areas come to VJ? I have yet to come across a post where the USC is male, younger and is fighting for the middle aged lady love of his life.

 

To OP...read up on MENA. You can be denied for an age gap when there is one. But this has been overcome by couples. Myself included.

I really can understand the consulate is doing their job. There is so much fraud. I hear about it from their side. The ones in the cafes over there. the ones in the FB groups of Maghreb. I hear about the way they think. The ones that get here....how they plan. There is real fraud and this is why it has become so difficult for visas to be approved. So yeah, the consulate has got a formula...but this came for a good reason.

SEARCH for yourself

There are so many beautiful, virtuous, young available Moroccan woman in Morocco. And not so virtuous if this is whats desired.

They speak the language, cook the food, live the culture, birth the babies, share the values and live the same religious beliefs. 

Just on a side note....I have seen almost all of the past relationships on here in MENA (ONLY the ones that I personally talked to through out the years) are now dissolved. Things happen. Each couple have their own reasons....but in the end, the male SO left. Be careful. Be aware. Go into your decision wide eyed.

 

my 2 cents.

There are some successful MENA relationships I have seen on here.

A K-1 attempt for a Moroccan man 14 years younger than his US Citizen Fiancee is pretty much a lost cause.  Sure, it's a judgment call, commonly made NOT as the couple hopes.

 

Best to marry, spend at least a couple months living together in Morocco, and then file the I-130 for spouse.  Anything else is most likely spitting in the wind.

Me too.

I am one of them thank GOD. ten years now....

I only state the truth that out of the ladies that i went through all this with on VJ more than I could have assumed have parted ways with there SO. Which is disappointing. After all the waiting, finance spent and efforts they made....it did not work out after all.

 

 

Just was sharing some experience to my former self's on here.

Advice one can take or leave it...keep your eyes open.

 

 

[dzmichellebkt 22]

I moved here to Algiers and lived alone for four months before we married. We've been married over one year, and I've lived here almost two years. I am one  year and five days older than my husband. I am extremely close with his family and especially is mother. I've learned his culture, language and how to cook his traditional foods. (This is the main reason I chose to move here. It was important for our marriage and relationship that I know his family and learn his culture and spend time with him in his environment because family and culture is so important here!) Also it is EXTREMELY important his family knows about and accepts me and our marriage. I am the same religion, reverting BEFORE we ever met and I can speak a little Arabic/Derja and he speaks English at an Intermediate level.

 

I'm still child bearing age and actually we've tried starting a family but suffered a miscarriage once already. I am still childbearing age at 40 years old and I'm willing and ready to start a family with Allahs will. 

 

My point is: we are still expecting issues with our case simply because I'm American and he's Algerian. 

 

Will we have problems? Probably not but even we aren't expecting this process to be easy. Even with many people on my side and his willing to attest to our bona fide marriage. 

 

Good luck in your journey. ☺️

It only becomes a red flag when it's 20 years difference so don't worry. What you should focus on is to prove to the CO that you know a lot about your fiance and that your relationship is Legitimate. Don't listen to "Morocco denies lotta K1 applicants..." comments. There were around 30 interviewees on the date I had my interview, only 2 who got denied and by very obvious reasons. I am 9 years younger than my fiance, but they could easily tell that it is a legitimate relationship. Also, there is one question that can be a trap. What do you like about your fiance/wife? If you focus only on the physical things you like about her, you're done, my friend. Because I would deny you if you tell me that you like her beauty and pause for 5 seconds. Think of intellectual things, her thinking...things that show that you are interested in things other than beauty. 

 

Good luck
