k-1 and big age difference

[lepageman8 2]

Hello all,

sorry if this has been answered already. There is a lot to take in. I am engaged to a French girl. We have flown back and forth to see each other and we are very much in love and wish to be married. However, I am 18 years older then her!

Will this be a red flag? is there anything I can do ahead of time? Address the issue in a letter when sending the I-129F?

thank you in advance!

Yes, it is a red flag but, she can't be denied a visa based on the age difference. What you should do is collect as much relationship evidence as possible to prove that what you have is bona fide. It shouldn't be a big problem for your embassy but, either way, you should include this evidence in your I-129F petition. A letter won't hold much weight in relation to the countless chats, call logs, etc. that you can provide.

Nope, my wife and I have a 17 year difference and wasn't and hasn't been an issue.

is there anything I can do ahead of time?

Generate lots of different evidences of a legitimate relationship.

Address the issue in a letter when sending the I-129F?

Why draw attention to something that is none of anyone's business? You are both adults? You are free to live your lives as you see fit.

Hello, I am from Czech and my husband is 17 years older, Age was never an issue, also France is not high risk country so I think you should be fine , when relationship is real there is nothing to be worried about, good luck

It was not an issue for us in mexico (23 year difference). They never mentioned it in the interview.

If you are both at least 18 years old, then you are adults and can do whatever you want. My wife and I have a 17 year difference and we had and still do not have any issues with that.

Nothing needed.

What would you say? Nothing needed. You will still have to prove to the Embassy CO during the interview that you have a legitimate relationship. Your word alone is not enough.
