If you are not allowed to marry, by the powers that be in the KOW then, why do you think the embassy will give you a fiance visa ?
Bet they won't.
you will lose your bet.

different jurisdiction. marriage is not actually a requirement for a defacto union visa anyway.

In the USA there is no over 50 restrictions on getting married. You lose that bet.

[Mod edit: Unneeded name calling removed.] The purpose of the fiance visa is to allow the foreigner to enter the USA to marry the American there and then stay in America. There is no age restriction on getting married in the USA.

They will refuse to give her a fiancee visa if they think it's not a bona fide relationship, like if they hardly know each other or if there's a whiff of fraud, which I think is more common with Cambodian-American petitioners who are asking to marry their cousins to bring them to the USA and whatnot.

try going to the us embassy and having your marriage recognized as legal having done it say in HK they will not do it

So you think the embassy will give you there blessing to break the Cambodian laws and assist you in doing so. I don't
I got married and they said it was no good because the Cambodian government does not allow it.

It does not break Cambodian law for a Cambodian woman to go to the USA on a fiance visa, marry an old American, live there, and become a US citizen.

Does this question relate to the woman you married in Hong Kong or a different woman? Because I don't think you can get a fiance visa for a woman you already married in Hong Kong. You need to file for a spouse visa, I think.

I was just giving that as an example of the embassy not recognizing the marriage. So, to me, logically if they won't recognize the marriage as legal then they would not give a fiance visa if you could not legally marry.
Unless, if she was intending to live with you in the US then that may be different.

Yes, they will give a fiance' visa or a spousal visa if married in Hong Kong.
To say otherwise is nonsense.
5 minutes on google will turn up hundreds of people who have done it.
