Re: HB1 visa and Marriage
Although a large age difference typically triggers higher scrutiny by immigration, it does not necessarily lead to an application being denied outright. What you must prove is that your relationship has been entered into in "good faith", therefore, you must make sure you have sufficient evidence to prove your relationship. You should consult with an immigration attorney experienced in this issue. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss further in private. Good luck!
Re: HB1 visa and Marriage
I agree with the previous answer that age is one of many factors that the Immigration officer uses to determine if the marriage is for love and not just for immigration purposes. A consultation with an immigration lawyer will give you more information about the marriage based green card process. Feel free to call our office if you wish to consult by phone or in person. I wish you the best.
