Sounds like now would be a good time for her to consider moving.

Don't marry the first visit.   You can also meet in other 3rd countries that might be easy for her to travel too.

You are 19. Sorry, but you're basically a kid. I met my fiance when he was 20 and he was in no way, shape or form ready to do much more than finish his degree program and play a LOT of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He wasn't ready to get married back then -- he still was figuring out who he was and what he wanted from life. I obviously don't know you, but I guess you probably are still figuring out who YOU are too. That is fine! That is what we are supposed to do when we're very young. Getting married is a HUGE step for someone as young as you are, let alone all the red flags that you have. 

 

I say this out of kindness: you barely know this woman. You barely know her, you do not know her culture, you do not know her likes and dislikes very fully, you do not know the complexity of her hopes and dreams yet -- just as you do not know all of your own. Give it time. Love is amazingly forgiving if you tend it and cultivate it like a beautiful flower -- give it space to grow and flourish. Feed it with kindness and restraint. Do not crowd it, do not force it to blossom. 

 

Please think carefully on what it is you aim to do. Marriage is an act of love, but it is also an act of sacrifice. Are you completely sure you are ready to give what is required? 

We already talked about this allot and i think i will never find someone as kind and lovely as her i respect your opinion and thank u for replying but i really wanna be with this person and she really want to be with me we are ready to give everything to this relationship to succeed. anyways i have been through a lot in my life and i know exactly what to do and what to not do and im planning ahead everything we just hope the best for this relation and we leave it in god hands.

Everyone im from Tunisia and im 19 years old 8 months ago i met a woman from the US she is so nice we r now in love the problem is she is 53 years old i dont have a problem but im afraid that everyone else will do. so is it gonna affect the timeline or we r gonna get rejected .

We dont share the same religion 

A man who is 19 marrying a woman who is 53 is going to raise some eyebrows with the CO for certain.   It is not common in Tunisia to have that age difference between spouses (where the man is older by that much of a gap), nor is it common for a young man from your home country to marry a woman who presumably cannot have children.    Marrying on the first visit is another red flag.

 

Has she ever petitioned for someone else before you?

Is she previously divorced?  Children?

 

CO may also wonder if you would marry someone 30+ years older than you, and unable to have children, if she were from your own country (the CO will presume you are in it for a greencard only, in other words).
