Yes, I knew the 40 years difference scare some of you, but I need to let those scared peopel know that my husband is very healthy, not because I married him so I say so, because the fact showed me that he is much more healthy than me. He carried me when we were climbing the Yellow Mountain(Huang shan Mountain), he could run 10k with fifty-six minutes and I never could do that, he could be perfect fine in Tibet and fine with the 5200 meters altitude. He is a smart and responsible man, he said he wants to marry me because he wants to take good care of me. Suppose he may live to 100, I guess I will die before him,ha ha, . I think jim_julian was right, I need to show VO that my husband is perfect healthy.

You have us beat. With that age difference, the subject will almost surely come up in the interview. The petitioner's background, education and income CAN overcome most suspicions that age difference alone might arouse. The question you are most likely to get from the VO is "why do you want to marry him?" I laughed when I read " You have us beat", seems I won the 'competition' of age difference. Thanks Mike and Lily. That was fun.

Thanks for all your response, I am encouraged. I should say there has many couples has age difference , but 20 or 25 years difference is much less than the difference between my husband and I. My husband is 40 years older than me. That's why I was worry about it so much.

Thanks Darnell, Mike and Lily!! I will read those informations you suggested carefully and doing more preparations. My husband and I met on Nov,2003 when he was travelling around China, that was about five years ago and we got married last June. Because of our age difference, none of my families could accept our marriage, my mother even told I don't need to call her mom if I marry my husband. But I am an adult, I am mature enough to make my own life decision, so we registered our marriage in China, no family wishes, nothing, just us. But I was happy to be with him, so I don't regret that I married him. My husband hired a visa attorney since he is very busy with his work, the attorney suggested to apply for CR1 and K3 together, sounded like K3 will be faster than CR1, anyway, I don't know if my husband filled I-130 or some other forms or not, but I wil ask him. Thanks for remind me.

GUZ consulate will check the beneficiary's background before visa interview. If GUZ is checking the petitioner's background also? If they were checking the petitioner's background, does the petitioner's background check result will helps some for interview? Suppose the petitioner is PHD education level and a quite successful scientist and well pay, will these factors helps some? Because my husband and I have very big age difference, I knew VO will concern about this, I am afraid that they won't take look at my evidence or let me explain and just give me a denial. My husband wanted me able to visit US at least once before we get married, so he asked me to apply for tourist visa for three times in last five years and all failed. I was scared by thinking about the VO's cool face and seems they never believed me. I posted several questions in these few days, I am sorry for my silly questions, I just very nervous about the interview and nervous about the interview result, be honestly, I am not confident of I may get the visa. Just because of our big age difference.

Congratulations!!! It is a good news for today.

My husband called the DOS today and the lady there told him that my interview date is at at 7:15 am on August 19, and the P4 was mailed to me on June 25, but why I didn't receive it yet, I believe the express mail from GUZ takes about two days. I am praying it won't be lost. Thanks for telling me the DOS phone number, it was very helpful.

Thank you guys. I wish I am good luck too. I am petitioning for K3 by the way. Wish everybody happy!!
