From TLC’s description of the show:
Long-distance relationships have challenges that are sometimes difficult to overcome but consider if the distance traveled was halfway around the world and a couple had just 90 days to decide whether the courtship should conclude with marriage. That's the situation facing the men and women profiled in this series, which shares the complexities of international romances. Using a visa that allows foreign fiancees of American citizens to travel to the U.S., the men and women experience life in the States with their prospective mates for the first time. Culture and language barriers must be overcome -- not to mention the stigma of being thought of as mail-order spouses -- but here's the elephant in the room: The couples must marry before the visas expire in 90 days, or else the visitors have to immediately return to their countries. With the clock ticking, these couples discover if their "happily ever after" is meant to be.

I’m a K-1 Immigrant, now a permanent resident of the US. If you want to know what that experience is like as a genuine applicant... It’s awful. The whole procedure assumes you are lying and trying to hide something or enter unlawfully and it does not stop after you get here. I was denied a permanent drivers license because the USCIS took two years to assign me a permanent green card after my provisional one ran out and all I had were letters of extension. Additionally, after 5 years (under the Trump admin), they threatened to deport me if I did not provide evidence that we were still together and in a committed relationship as we had not had a child or bought a home together in that time. Also to clarify. I’m British, Male, and not especially attractive. So I probably had less of an issue than most.

why would they use a K1 visa ? Canada-US allows 6 months/year of stay without visa... so why not just get married in that 6 months instead of 90 days and avoid all that paper work ?

[@QueeenBrian]

Well, you still would have to do the same paperwork after the fact, and sometimes it is more difficult to obtain a green card that way. We had another Canadian friend who did that and basically got stuck in this weird limbo because she wasn’t eligible to work, they ended up having a baby and had a lot of trouble coming up with the funds to have a lawyer sort everything out. I don’t remember all the details, but it took about six years for her to get her green card. I sponsored my husband to move from Canada with a k-3 and he was able to get his green card in about 6 months. We actually didn’t even wait the 90 days because we wanted to expedite the immigration process so he could be eligible to work. We’ve been married 6 years now and he obtained citizenship last year. Every case is a little different, but the few people I’ve known who filed after the fact had a harder time and it seemed to drag things out more.

[@MrLou345]

I went through the K-1 process and brought my fiancé over from Ukraine in 2005 as well as her child. I can tell you first hand what the process was like. While we didn't have a camera crew following us around like the show does, it's pretty accurate with how 2 people can meet from two different countries and cultures. First up, the K-1 process is brutal from start to finish. All told it takes 4 years to fully be completed and most people don't understand how or why it's this long. The beginning process of the 90 day is very straight forward and is the simplest part of a multi year process. You meet someone, get an immigration lawyer, fill out a ton of paperwork and if the K-1 visa is approved (IF), then your fiancé gets to come to the U.S. for 90 days and both of you get to "try" out and see if your going to end up getting married. If you marry in the 90 days, then that's where all of the "fun" starts (not really). If you don't get married before the 90 days is over, she or he has to go back to their country or they risk over staying their visa and at that point they would have no chance of coming to the U.S. again. If you do get married, there is a whole lot more paperwork, interviews and thousands of dollars spent EVERY YEAR for the first 4 years. That's right, you go through this process every year because you have to change the status of the K-1 from a fiancé visa to getting a "green card". But they don't get a green card right away. they get a temporary "white" card which is a legal status to stay in the U.S. while the paperwork makes it's way through the government agencies. They do interviews every year as well as asking you to fill out the same paperwork you did before, which is a way for the government to make more money (thousands by the way). Every year you have to do finger prints, bio documents all in quadruple copies and it's a mound of paperwork. When I did back in 2005 it costs about $675 for the bio, plus $125. per fingerprints and of course everything is times 2 as i had my wife's daughter to do also and there are all kinds of other costs that I won't bother to mention. It costs about $10k over the 4 years including the lawyers fees and government fees. So you better make the right decision on who you bring over, because it will be costly. Also, as a fun fact, back in 2006 we were asked to be on a show that was in development, this would turn out to be the original 90 day fiancée show as well as the "after the 90 day" too. It was the latter show they wanted me and my wife to be a part of. At the time we thought it would be great to do it but in the end, we both said no because of the intrusiveness to our everyday lives as well as my 7 year old stepdaughters life as well. Back then the show would have paid us $7,000. for a 13 episode run. Now it's like $20k or more from what I heard...

that is absolutely not how it went for me (k-1 2005, married 2006). I (the American) never had an interview. Pretty sure she didn't have any between the AOS and citizenship application 4 years later. The white card is essentially as good as a green card while you have it, as long as you don't leave the country and try to come back. But you get the perks of a permanent resident visa We didn't use a lawyer, but $10k doesn't sound out of line, including fees, if you do.

I went partway through this process back in 2013. I was engaged to a guy from Egypt and we decided it would be much better for him to move here because of all the chaos happening there. It was a ton of paperwork just to get it started and it was exacerbated by the fact that he was living in England at the time. He had to get his parents to find some of his necessary documents that were back in Egypt, scan and email them to him to be translated, and then email them to me to give to the lawyer. The relationship ended up falling apart before he came here but I was a year into the process before that happened and it was a massive headache. Anyone who is thinking about doing this know that it will take a lot of time, effort, and money. Absolutely make sure it's worth it.

"She asked her daughter for one of her eggs" ..My mom did this just because she wanted another baby, period. SHE HOUNDED me about it. I gave her nothing - she was a horrible mother and didn't need another kid. Why would I give my mother one of my eggs to abuse and beat? That was one of our last blows to the relationship we barely had. She would call me four or five times a day trying to beg for it, saying she;d stop calling if I just gave her one of my eggs. I blocked her number. She called from someone elses' phone. Block that. She'd just find a new person to call me from. I told her no. She had drug issues, anger issues, some kind of mental dissorder she denied and never got help for, and she told me more than once she wished I had died instead of my brother. I don't wouldn't have given her an egg if humanity depended on it, y'all -- sorry. I'd give it to ANYONE ELSE - but not her. I eventually left Texas and she died of a drug overdose a year later? Yeah. What a great use of an egg that would have been. I feel awful for saying it - but - I do not miss her.

I don't mind the idea of doing a K-1 or doing international dating, I just don't like that he chose Brazil, and now he will have a permanent reason to keep going back to Brazil--a country with safety and security issues due to civil unrest.

You for sure need to know EVERYTHING about your future spouse, because they will ask if you know about the 'bad' stuff. If you don't, you're highly likely going to be denied the visa. And if you do, they also ask if you if you want to keep going with the process... at least that's what I was asked. They also give you a pamphlet of things to know to protect yourself from the US citizen in case you experience abuse or something like that.
