It's wrong to think women shouldn't support men. She's my wife and she has the right to support me. It's a marriage and we're supposed to have each other's back through thick and thin and she did just that. For better for worse is the deal. With all said, God knows it's genuine and I'm sure God has our back. Thank you for your response

 

In the US things are different, we have equality, I assume the reference is no what happens and is acceptable in Nigeria.

Because you mentioned them.

That she's older than I am? It's not an issue. Age has nothing to do with someone you have deep connection with. I was looking for someone who knows what she wants in a relationship and I found her. Age has no factor

You’re taking things personal and it’s not going to help. Yes,  supporting your SO is fine, but frequent money transfers do raise a concern. Age has a factor with immigration or can be if other things don’t add up. 
you’re being vague with your answers. It’s hard to help you and makes me think that you know what the issues are. You just don’t want to address them.

then make sure you tell that to the US Government.  

Can’t stress this enough. People want to believe that everything will happen according to their standards, instead of thinking what’s the norm in the US

We married on her second visit and we've spent quality time together. We're both Christian

I married on my second visit to Nigeria and I am 10 years older than my spouse, so that shouldn't be an issue..However, there maybe something on yours or her background is what is delaying an interview..You stated you did receive an RFE, was that taken care of?

Red flag #1

 

Tax returns? 

Not so because I've sent money to my husband plenty of times, I am 10 years older than him, married on my second visit to Nigeria and we submitted all of docs for spousal visa (no RFE's), had interview on a Monday, was approved and received his visa and passport on that Friday..There could be more to the OP story..I know of other women who are 20 years plus older than their spouses and they got approved so I wouldn't say age is a factor...Yes, Nigeria is very much high fraud country as it is keep being repeated, but as I said it has to be more to this story, but don't really want to assume anything...

 

Edit: I quoted the wrong comment but this was in response to sending money...

Please explain why I have seen a large age gap listed as a factor on denial letters.   It, alone, may not cause a denial, but to say it isn't a factor is is naïve.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Naive to you, but as I said, I know of women who are 20 years plus older than their spouse and got approve..I am 10 years older than my spouse..I don't think it's the age that's an issue, I think it's something else for them to want to interview the wife who happens to be the U.S. citizen..They're not bringing her in for the age difference...

Yes the RFE was taken care of. They only wanted additional evidence and it was submitted

Usually petitioner interviews are about the petitioner's past related to immigration in some way.  Perhaps she as petitioned somebody else in the past.  You mention an attorney.  Best your wife contact her attorney about these matters, so all can be discussed in confidence.  Your vague answers don't help us help you, but your wife can be fully open with her attorney, in confidence.

Thank you so much for your response

Honestly for them to want to interview the U.S. citizen is rare..I don't want to assume, but there has to be more..I know you don't like all the questions, but in this group you have to be truthful and straightforward to get the answers you are looking for..What needs or should happen is that your significant other should make an account with VJ and ask the questions so that way it is more clear for the both of you. As the one gentleman stated, may need to get a lawyer involve.
