90 Day Fiancé
90 Day Fiancé is an American reality television series on TLC that follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa and therefore have 90 days to marry each other. The purpose of the K-1 Visa is to allow time for the couple to make arrangements for and have a marriage ceremony, not to give the couple time to decide whether they will marry. Each couple has already signed document stating that they have promised to marry, and given the signed document to the US Immigration services.
The series debuted on January 12, 2014, and has been renewed through its seventh season. It has seven spin-offs: ', which documents the ups and downs of past 90 Day Fiancé couples after their marriage; , which follows couples who met online but have not yet started the K-1 visa process; , an original digital series that gives updates on past 90 Day Fiancé couples; , a dedicated series to couples where the American partner permanently moves to their partner's home country instead of vice versa; , a reaction show featuring a number of previous cast members who react to an episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After; The Family Chantel, focused on the relationship of 90 Day Fiancé season four cast members Pedro and Chantel and their immediate family; and ', which follows the lives of previous 90 Day Fiancé couples during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Premise
The show is based on the K-1 visa process, which begins with the petitioner meeting the beneficiary inside or outside the United States, then filing a I-129F petition with evidence of meeting and of a relationship. After the petition is approved, the petitioner must pass biometrics and then the process is sent to the foreign embassy of the beneficiary. The beneficiary then files for a visa, before or after passing the medical requirements and is called for an interview, in which the beneficiary must prove that they meet the requirements of the visa, including having strong evidence of meeting and a valid relationship. If approved, the foreign fiancé travels to the States to live with his or her prospective American spouse. The couple must marry within 90 days, otherwise the beneficiary must leave the country. The couple may face language barriers, culture shock, the stigma of being thought of as a "mail-order bride" as well as skepticism of friends and family. Professor Lenni B. Benson of the New York Law School has stated that although the K-1 visa program is widely associated with sham marriages, "It is not true in the majority of cases."Cast
