Hello, I have a husband who is 68 yrs.old but he looks 10 years younger than his age :) and I am 27 . We are on the process of submiting our docs for spousal visa. I'm a little bit worried that we might be denied due to our age gap :( We are married for almost one year now and both of us are not god in saving tickets ( pics,plane tickets, hotel invoices etc.) so we only got few pictures during our trips,and few reciepts for money transfer..Please advice on what else I need to do inorder to prove to them that our marriage is genuine. His family wanted to see me and I am excited of meeting them too Please help...
 
What VO office will you be applying to?
 
I'm Not a expect in these things, But due to age difference you Should collect as much evidence possible.....
 
@ mc1234.. manila :)
@mroliveland yes they are aware as well as my close friends..he is a very nice guy that's why I didnt hesistate to marry him. And now that I am ready to live with him there in Canada I am worried that age might be an issue for the VO :(....
 
Start collecting as much letters of support and proof that you can. Be prepared to address the age difference and show how despite that there is one, you two are genuinely in love and a couple. Show how it works for you two.

Goodluck.
 
Your age difference will certainly be a red flag. You need to make sure you include a significant amount of evidence in your application that proves your relationship is genuine. Both of you need to start focusing on saving evidence and putting together a strong application package.

We've got around 80 pics that already include our wedding pics, some receipts during our trips,money transfer,and 300 pages of emails thats all we have for now, Im not sure if that suffice :-[
 
Definite red flag. You're going to have to prove without a doubt that you are in a genuine relationship.

How long was the courtship (the time you met until the time you got married)?

You've been married a year, which is great, congrats, but you'll need to document your time together as husband and wife.

What about the financial situation? Are you independent? Does your spouse send you money? If so, how often? What's it for?

All obvious evidence such as pictures, e-mails, and so on, are good, but they will not satisfy the big gap in age. You're going to need letters from friends and family, a very lengthy detailed explanation as to why you chose someone who is so much older than you.

Put yourself in the VOs shoes. He/She will definitely think something is fishy...so you need to cover every possible angle.

Good luck!

Thank you so mch for the advice guys..I gues I wont be expecting much :-[
 
What was the length of courtship? Months, years, days? The shorter the courtship, the more proof you'll need to submit...but not just pics...you'll need something more substantial.

after 4months of a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship we decided to marry, the proble is we were'nt able to save pics and tickets those times coz i was stupid of not thinking that we will be usinf the stuffs for this process.. And now I'm confuse where and how to start. My husband is supporting me every month since he is still working..
 
41 years of age difference? no evidences? this will be scrutinized by the visa officer who will work on this. interviews and lots of additional documents MIGHT be asked for this. this is a red flag for the officer, my friend.

I am not good in keeping stuffs so my bad :( We have around 80 picutres I guess and some reciepts, a lease of contract of the apartment where we are staying and what i will be working on is Fencesitter's advice to write a narrative about our relationship,and letters from our friends.. We hire a consultant acutally and she is still checking all the papers I submitted. Well if its really God's will then everything will be possible no matter how impossible it is ;)
