K1 Visa Holder Interviews: 90-Day Fiancé(e)s

By Erika Presson
Last Updated: March 16, 2014

By now, you already know that K1 Fiancé(e) Visa Holders have only 90 days to marry their foreign fiancé(e)s thus the term 90-day fiancé(e). Below you will find a list of interviews of past/current Visa Holders who are now happily married to their then-fiancé(e)’s. We will release one (1) couple’s story on a weekly bi-monthly basis. (…Or whenever I can work on the blog. Sorry! I’m getting pretty busy with work and wifely duties!) Scheduled dates are not final. They can be switched around. If you want to share your story and be featured here, please send me an email through the contact form.

 

Why are we doing this?

To educate the public of what the K1 Fiancé(e) Visa really is. Our aim is to bring you full stories – from the start of our relationships, filing the petitions, acquiring the K1 visa, getting married, our struggles with moving to the U.S., and the processes we still have to go through after moving. We hope that by reading through it, people will understand that the immigration processes we’ve gone/still are going through is no easy matter. We left our families, our jobs, our careers back in our home country to be with the one we love.

• Read my blog post about the show: 90-day Fiance: “Reality”? O RLY? Pffft. Far from it.

 

These are our stories.

Real Life. Real Couples. Not the *cough-edited-cough* drama you see on TV. (No, I’m not saying that they’re not real couples, nor their struggles are fake… but the show hasn’t been entirely clear about the whole immigration process nor the true nature of the K1 Fiancé(e) Visa.)
