Dude 1st visit and marriage, that's a huge step. Online and offline persona of people are different. I suggest you guys meet and spend quality time and then maybe marry then. 

Arranged marriage is cultural. And here you are meeting her online and now getting married at 1st visit. 

 

Does she make enough money for AOS? If not does she has a co-sponsor to file AOS?

 

Do you have your family member in the US? If so how did they get to the US? 

 

you said met online.. How did you meet online? Is there an age difference?  The journey itself is costly and emotionally draining. Be prepared mentally and emotionally

not necessarily

I got married on my first visit, and filed directly after

 

culturally it is not necessarily normal in pakistan to meet multiple times before marriage

 

Editing to say, I believe this is very strongly worded and a bit incorrect for Pakistan

 

It is not normal to have several visits before marriage

Is it must to be meet multiple times before of marriage ?

No but it can be a good idea if you've never met before in person.

Those are tough though not necessarily insurmountable odds. Won't be easy getting thru ISL. 

 

What is the age discrepancy.. is she older? She previously married?

As Kastrs has mentioned you do not need to meet multiple times before the marriage.  It's not culturally accepted in Pakistan to meet many times before a marriage.  My husband and I also married on our first  visit but that wasn't even brought up as an issue.  What was an issue was my husband and I both being divorced, they also didn't like that we met online but that was a small issue.  The divorces have caused us the most hurdles.

 

If she is much older than you and was married before you'll need to overcome those red flags and prove that your relationship is not for benefits.   I do agree you'll  need more visits before the interview.  Not much commingling of finances can be done from abroad but you do your best to combine your lives as a married couple (read the guides above).  

 

Make sure you are both prepared that this could take years..if you're not up for it turn back now.   It can be emotionally draining and agonizing at times.     Living apart from your life partner is extremely difficult and gets harder everyday.

How will be prove that our relation is not for benefits?
