Thanks for sharing your experience,i will tell my wife about it and maybe she could come and visit me again, while we wait on USCIS.  

You may be underestimating what is required to overcome such a large age gap.  Multiple visits to be together, many visits of weeks or months each time, PLUS more evidence of co-mingling of finances is necessary here, and from your comments, you don't have enough yet.  Whether you submit this additional evidence as part of your current I-130 process, or you start over again, you need more evidence of a bona fide marriage relationship.  You can keep trying, but you will need more visits from your wife to Pakistan to spend time with you, not just one more visit.  Has she added you as a beneficiary on all her bank accounts, life insurance, health insurance, retirement accounts, etc.?  Does she have a will and living will naming you as beneficiary/agent?  It may take many years in order to overcome the red flags with lots of additional documentation of the kind I have suggested.  Your wife needs to understand this more completely.  If your relationship is really based on love, you will find a way to live together, whether it is in the US, in Pakistan, or some other country.  I wish you all the best in your journey whatever the outcome.

On the plus side, your wife might be able to retire soon, or already be retired, which let's you explore living together, in Pakistan, or in a third country, while waiting for a decision.

I was thinking this too....very often when we suggest that the American moves to the beneficiary's country it is met with “but he has a job/five kids/elderly parents in the USA”. At least most of those won’t apply in this case, giving the wife plenty of freedom to move to Pakistan if necessary (which looks likely).
