Reality TV fans love watching the drama unfold on 90 Day Fiancé. But what happens when the relationships don’t work out? Many cast members have still managed to stay in the U.S. and one of the most common ways they do this is through VAWA (Violence Against Women Act). 

Several 90 Day Fiancé cast members have faced challenges in their relationships, leading them to seek alternative immigration options to remain in the U.S. While specific details about individual cases are private, some have reportedly utilized legal provisions like the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to self-petition for a green card without relying on their spouse. Some examples of cast members who must have used alternatives to marriage based adjustment of status include Mohamed Jbali, Larissa Dos Santos Lima, and Anfisa Arkhipchenko Nava. Despite their tumultuous relationships and subsequent separations, they have remained in the U.S., suggesting they may have pursued alternative immigration relief.  

At Whitaker Legal, we help people just like those on 90 Day Fiancé who need a legal way to stay in the U.S. If you entered the country on a K1 Visa but your relationship took a turn, you may still have options to apply for a green card without relying on your ex-partner. 

VAWA: A Path to a Green Card 

Many people think VAWA is only for women, but that’s not true. Men can also apply if they experienced mistreatment in their relationship. If your U.S. citizen or green card holder partner controlled finances, isolated you, threatened to cancel your immigration process, or caused emotional harm, you might qualify for VAWA immigration relief. 

Some 90 Day Fiancé stars who stayed in the U.S. after their relationships ended may have used this process. Since USCIS does not publicly disclose personal immigration details, we can’t say for sure who applied, but the law is clear: if someone faced mistreatment in a toxic marriage, they may be eligible. 

What If My K1 Visa Relationship Didn’t Work? 

If your relationship ended before getting a green card, you might not have to leave the U.S. Many people believe they have no options, but that’s not true. A VAWA immigration lawyer can help determine if you qualify for protection under this law. You do not need your spouse’s permission to apply. Everything happens confidentially. 

Other Ways 90 Day Fiancé Stars May Have Stayed 

• T Visa – If someone was forced to work under unfair conditions, they may qualify for a T Visa. 

• I-751 – If someone received a conditional 2-year green card based on marriage, but the marriage dissolved before the I-751 was filed, they can file an I-751 based on a final divorce & proving the marriage was entered into in good faith.
