Hi all,

My husband and I are doing the I-130 route through Paris (DCF) and we
were wondering if the 11 year age gap is going to be a red flag for
them for some reason. We've been together for 3 years and have stacks
of photos and letters to prove it. (I'm 33, he's 22.) Anyone have
any thoughts on this? I'm guessing it's up to the whim of the
interviewer.

Thanks in advance... just feeling especially paranoid.

Hey there Miss -

1) There's absolutely *nothing* you can do about this
so whether or not it gets special attn isn't that important in the grand
scheme of things. It's certainly not worth worrying over or causing
paranoia. Save your strength for things you *can* control like getting
all you paperwork in properly - all your i's dotted and t's crossed.

2)
I will note this though - my husband and I are exactly 10 yrs apart in
age - I'm older than he. I flew to the US with him when he came to the
states and when we went thru JFK POE, I glimpsed over the desk of the
immigration guy and looked inside our envelope/file. Right there, in
bright red ink on top of the first page, someone from the US Consulate
in Jamaica had written notes in caps "note 10 year age difference!!!".
Yep - it had those exclamation marks.

So anyway, I thought that was
interesting but it's not something they can deny you all for.

Best of
luck - you'll be fine! (-:

You do not have a significant age gap, and have no worries in this
area.

Hi there! There is an 18 year difference between me and my Belgian
husband (I'm 45, he's 27). He came over on a K-1 visa which was
approved rather quickly from the VSC. So far, no real raised eyebrows
from the INS.....just from the neighbors ;-p

Good luck and don't
worry.

11 years isnt that much I wouldnt worry! With any
kind of relationship you just need proof to show you are together.


Good Luck!! xxx

Hey there!!


11 years isn't a big difference, and even if
it was.. there is nothing you could do!, Don't worry!!:):)
Have a nice
day and Good Luck!!

I wouldn't sweat an 11 years difference. I know of a case where the
Manila embassy approved a K-1 visa where the girl was 17 and the guy
was in his 30s and the Manila embassy is one of the toughest embassies
to deal with. Relax.
