90 Day Fiance: Forrest Struggles To Choose Between His Mom And Sheena

Things seem to be getting tough for Forrest and Sheena. The 90 Day Fiance star Forrest is at a crossroads, struggling to choose between his mom and Sheena. In a recent sneak peek, Sheena tries to convince Forrest about living in the Philippines. According to her, she can take good care of Forrest if they decide to live in her country. It’s true that Sheena earns a decent salary as a veterinarian. They will not have to worry about renting a place as Sheena’s house is quite big.

On the other hand, if they move to the States, Forrest needs to get a stable job to support Sheena. It is unclear whether Sheena can carry on with his vet job in the US. She might need to take a test or attend school again to find employment. Additionally, even if Forrest gets a job, it will be an entry-level one that won’t pay much. Forrest is struggling to decide where to live. In his head, if he chooses to live in the Philippines, he will be choosing Sheena. This is a hard decision for him.

90 Day Fiance: Forrest’s Visa Attorney Lied About K-1 Visa Requirements?! Fans Wonder About It!

In a sneak peek, Forrest and Sheena go to the immigration office. The 90 Day Fiance stars meet with a visa attorney who explains the rules of the K-1 Visa. The attorney states that a minimum income of $26,500 is required. Additionally, when Forrest mentions his job, which is living on government-aided disability checks, the attorney says that does not count as income. The attorney also explains that their current income could lead to a denial of a K-1 visa.

Now, fandom did some digging and found proof that is not entirely true. A blogger, kikiandkibbitz, posted about the requirement for a K-1 visa. In clear terms, it states that SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) counts as valid income. Clearly, Forrest’s income counts as income if it meets the federal poverty guideline. Moreover, the blogger explains that there’s no income requirement just to file the petition in the first place. The showing of proof of income comes much later in the visa process.

Now, fans are wondering whether the visa attorney needs to reread the K-1 visa laws. Fans think that he is somewhat right since Forrest’s income is not stable. Other fans think that TLC is creating more fake storylines to make Forrest and Sheena’s story more dramatic. For more 90 Day Fiance updates, follow TV Season & Spoilers.
