possible complicated I-129F visa

I have recently applied for an I-129F visa for my fiancée. I am a US citizen. He is an Indian national, but he currently lives in New Zealand on a work visa. So, that is the first complication, I am guessing (or two complications - A: that he is from a country that has visa restrictions with the US and B: that he does not live in the country of his citizenship). The other complication is that I am several years older than him.

We have been in a relationship for over three years. I submitted proof of our ongoing relationship with my application. We met in person for the first time late last year. I also submitted several forms of proof of our meeting and spending time with each other.

My question is, does it complicate matters to the point of being impossible that A: he is not a citizen or permanent resident of the country he currently lives in, and B: that I'm older than he is?

Going back to his home country to complete the application process is really not an option because his parents will not accept me because of our difference in religion and our ages. (That is a complication into itself, I realize, but not the purpose of my question.)

Thank you for any insight you may provide into our situation.
 
Looks like he'll be able to interview in NZ based on having a work visa there.

From the New Zealand US Embassy web site:

30. Can a third country national (not a permanent resident of New Zealand) apply for an immigrant visa in New Zealand?

In some cases. First, that person must show that they have permission from the New Zealand Immigration Service to remain in New Zealand for 6 months or longer i.e. NOT just on a tourist visa. Depending on the immigrant visa category involved, it is possible that we would accept that person's immigrant visa application. In general, however, the person must have some ties to New Zealand; that is, some reason for being here beyond applying for the visa. Alien applicant needs to provide Consulate General with evidence of visa status in New Zealand, also case number, name and date and place of birth and current N.Z. address and phone number. We can then request the case file from another Post or directly from the National Visa Center.

What do his parents have to do with it? He's an adult and doesn't need their involvement with the process if he has to go to India. He'll only need a place to stay in India, which can be found for under US$30/day.
 
As long as he has a work permit for New Zealand, he is considered a resident of New Zealand. The US consulate will entertain his visa application. One does not need to be a permanent resident in order to access consular services.
