Yes it will matter somewhat, normally it's a red flag with an age difference but also when the younger man is the one being sponsored from a Muslim country. Hope the rest of your relationship background is good

Based on the limited information provided, I suspect you should prepare yourself for an interview due to mixed marriage, older wife which is culturally unacceptable in Pakistan. No one knows how long it will take but with interview 12+ months at minimum. My opinion is not personal so please don't take offence, in my experience no matter what evidence your chances of approval are quite low due to 1. Your wife not of Pakistani origin,2. Wife older3. Different culture of SP and PA4.different religion. Also if your wife was previously married or has kids that will be another strike against.

Other things that will weigh in on a decision in you case will be:
1. How you met
2. How many visit/time you spent physically together
3. If you had a traditional wedding, if you're Muslim that would mean nikha followed by rukhsti

Agree w everything jomz said, and yes if an interview is required, which might be likely in your case, expect much longer processing times, and even longer if you get a refusal and appeal

To show that age difference can be a problem sometimes, look at this most recent thread. Case is almost sinilar to yours: age difference with younger spouse being Muslim male

By the way, in that thread I asked if her husband was the younger one or her, but even before she answered me, I already knew it was likely the husband was younger.
