The new K-1 visa rules have completely filled the script for the 90 Day Fiance couples. So, be ready to say goodbye to the fairytales and hello to the fine print because it’s not easy to escape this time. Apparently, the new K-1 rules are completely tightening the leash, and the immigration experts are sounding the alarm now.
But that’s not all. There is a lot more to the story, and some legal experts are now reflecting on the consequences that the 90 Day Fiance couples would have to face. What is this all about? What did the experts say? Keep on reading to learn some shocking details about this controversy.
90 Day Fiance Couples’ “On-Screen Behavior” Would Determine Their Future In America
Stars would now have to be aware of their on-screen behavior on the 90 Day Fiance show as well. This is because immigration legal expert, Elizabeth Ricci, who is a Partner at Rambana & Ricci, has confirmed that stars’ behavior on the show could end up impacting their visa status!
Factors like “jokes or contradictory statements” could end up going against them during their visa process. USCIS would likely overlook any favorable factors on the show as well. Hence, if the USCIS is convinced that any star committed fraud, then there is a fair chance that they will deny their residency or denaturalize them in the future.
90 Day Fiance Couples Would Have To Face Some Strict K-1 Visa Laws
There have been several instances when viewers were sure that some of the 90 Day Fiance stars were with their partner solely for the Green Card. They walked down the aisle with their American beaus and left them as soon as they landed in the States. But now it appears that such storylines would have to face their own consequences.
According to the noted source, the authorities would now be under “scrutiny” over “relationship authenticity” and “shared finances.” Hence, they would conduct intense background checks and monitor the applicants as well. This would help them in getting more “fraud indicators.”
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is now working on a “new version of the Form I-129F.” This would have “stricter formatting and filing requirements,” and it can take several years to complete. Apparently, there would be a lot going on, from “unannounced home inspections” to interviews of friends, coworkers, and neighbors as well.
The USCIS could also ask couples to give proof of the “legitimacy of the relationship.” Hence, the agents are now getting directives to have a look at everything and not to be lenient at all. But that’s not all. The USCIS officers who were initially lenient with the adjustment of the status would now have to make deep checks. This makes it clear that a lot is going on, and the new set of visa rules would surely affect the 90 Day Fiance storylines. What do you think? Do let us know in the comments section.
