I definitely never saw myself
with an American guy.
She's never been
to America before,
but I wanted to give it a shot.
You know, there were sparks.
We've only been in the presence
of each other for two weeks.
The next 90 days are gonna be
like a roller coaster.
Now here in U.S.A. is
the best moment in my life.
Whoo!
America, I'm home!
Whoo!
It's gonna be
a big culture shock.
He's heading to the midwest
in the United States of America.
For a latino
who doesn't speak any English.
That's a serious situation.
You got 90 days.
Either we get married
or she has to go back.
What's the length of time
you spent together?
There are many red flags,
and I hope you have the guts
to stand up for yourself.
I don't think it's enough time
to really know someone
in 90 days.
What if I don't like America?
Bye, mom.
Bye!
It would be horrible
if she hated it
and wanted to go home.
When you love someone,
you follow them
to the ends of the earth.
I want to show
that true love really can exist,
even if it's
a half a world away.
my name's Justin.
I'm 34 years old,
from San Jose, California.
I'm a physical-education
teacher.
I teach fourth and fifth grade.
Throw it from where it went
out of bounds.
I live the typical
bachelor lifestyle...
microwavable foods...
drink beer...
watch sports,
the gym.
Don't do the dishes too much.
Don't do laundry too much.
The last couple years,
I've kind of been, you know,
casually dating.
Some might think
I might have been a ladies man.
But it wasn't until I met evelin
that, you know,
everything started to change
for me.
Hi, baby.
Hello.
Are you ready
to come to California?
Me too. Me too.
Okay.
I met evelin
in Santiago de cali, Colombia.
I was there for the world games.
Half time,
I went to go get a hot dog,
and I saw a beautiful girl
standing in line.
So I used my Spanish
to say "hola,"
and she kind of laughed
and smiled.
Latin women are more passionate.
There was an instant spark,
you know?
For the next seven days,
I don't think
she left my side one time.
Three months later,
I ended up going
back to Colombia
to see if this romance was real.
And by the end of that trip,
I ended up proposing to her.
Me and evelin only spent
about two weeks together,
but I knew she was the one.
We applied for a k-1 visa,
which is a fiancée visa.
So when she comes here,
we have 90 days to get married.
Is there anything
you're worried about?
Uh...
No, I know.
I mean, I haven't told anybody,
really, yet.
You know,
it's gonna be a surprise.
I haven't really told my friends
or family about evelin yet.
When you tell somebody
"k-1 visa"
and "90 days to marriage,"
it sounds strange,
so I kind of been
keeping it a secret.
Over the next 90 days, you know,
I think the biggest concern is
gonna be telling my family.
But I know
I have to tell somebody
sooner rather than later.
Have a seat.
You know that blue shirt...
Matt used to be my old roommate.
Our lifestyle was
more of just, you know,
beer, sports, you know, girls.
Little afraid to tell him
about evelin.
He's probably not gonna
believe it.
You know the trips
I've been making to Colombia?
Okay. Right.
Met a girl, and, uh...
I'm bringing her back here,
and, uh...
I'm engaged.
You're not bull me?
No, this is true.
This is real.
Oh, dude.
That's cool, man.
No, it's... it's...
so this is real?
Yeah.
You got 90 days to...
either we get married
or she has to go back, so...
As long as I've known him,
he was the eternal bachelor.
Let's face it...
he's got blue eyes
and looks like Alec Baldwin.
It was a little like living
with Hugh Hefner Jr.
So for him all of a sudden
to get engaged is
just mind-blowing.
You tell your family?
Nope.
I'm waiting.
It's a surprise.
Just because it's...
you know, she's from
a foreign country or...?
It's just... I mean,
it just sounds weird, right?
Fiancée from Colombia.
Yeah. It sounds scuzzy.
Yeah.
I don't want to hear
the negative stuff, so...
He's susceptible to having
the loudest voice in the room
convince him of something else.
And so I think
he avoids people...
especially in his family...
telling him it's such a bad idea
and then not doing it.
Yeah, I understand that,
'cause people are gonna say
she's here for a green card
or whatever crap, you know.
Right. Right.
You know, I'll probably get
some negative reactions
when I tell the news
to my family.
"Do you really know this person?
Have you guys spent
enough time together?"
You know,
"is it just for a visa?"
I'm worried about that.
You gonna keep her in hiding,
like, for a week?
Well what's one more week?
You guys want to make
your poster for mohamed?
I want to carry it.
My name is Danielle.
I am 41 years old,
and I'm from norwalk, Ohio.
I am
a direct-support professional.
I take care of mentally
handicapped individuals.
Not a lot of pay,
but I enjoy doing the job.
I have
three teenage girls at home
that are very expensive
at times.
"W-e-l-c"...
I was joking.
I first started looking online,
not really looking
for a relationship,
just looking to meet new people.
I checked out some chat rooms
with people
from all over the world,
and that's when I met mohamed.
He's from Tunisia,
and I like that because
he's different
from American guys.
Most men his age are
out partying,
wouldn't even think twice
about coming to a woman
that has three teenage girls.
There is 15 years difference
in between us and the age.
Okay?
So I'm waiting to go there
to see
which kind of difference
you have there.
Four or five months
into talking,
he proposed marriage.
It was through... Messaging.
I was resistant at first.
But I knew that I loved him
and cared about him.
Then I said yes.
I love you so much
and I'm not ever leaving you.
I saved money
and worked a lot of overtime
to get my ticket to go.
I knew if I wanted him
in my life, I needed to do that.
After 11 months,
he's finally flying in tomorrow.
So, when he comes,
is it gonna be, like,
any different than it is now?
No.
Like, you don't expect me
to see him as my dad, do you?
No.
Since we've been talking,
we've only been in the presence
of each other for two weeks.
And now we have to try
to figure everything out
in 90 days.
Mohamed eats different food?
Yes. Halal food.
What's "halal" mean?
It's just a way
that the meat was butchered,
and it was prayed over.
So, we still get the foods like
chicken patties and, like...
Yes.
Whatever we want.
It's gonna be
a big culture shock
'cause he's never been
around kids,
especially teenage girls.
I keep asking him, "are you sure
you're up for this?"
You can call him mohamed.
I don't think it's enough time
to really know someone
in 90 days,
but the clock starts ticking
'cause he's on a fiancé visa.
And it's either we get married
or he has to go back to Tunisia.
It was definitely
a little weird at first
when we started dating
because yamir is
one of the biggest pop stars
in Nicaragua.
¶ Baby, tonight ¶
¶ tonight, tonight ¶
my name is Brett, and I'm
from snohomish, Washington.
I work
at an airplane manufacturer.
Go ahead.
Come on, hurry up, Brett.
Hurry up.
Hurry up, Brett.
I have two roommates.
Their names are Lou and t.
Ooh.
Look at that down there.
We're not paying attention
to you.
No, we're talking.
Oh.
I met them through work,
and they're
about my mother's age.
And you know what she said?
Huh?
"Oh,
you sound just like him."
Oh, there you are.
Right now.
Cassidy is
my 6-year-old daughter.
Cassidy primarily lives
in Montana with her mom,
and during summer breaks,
she spends her time with me.
You're crazy.
My daughter is number one.
Bye, baby.
After my divorce,
I did want another relationship,
so I went
to an international dating site.
And I looked in the Philippines
because they had
good marriage values.
And the women are cute, too.
When I first saw
pictures of daya,
I could just feel
the butterflies and everything.
I was just so attracted to her.
She just likes to smile.
She's the life of the party.
She was so, so beautiful.
But I felt like
I was too boring.
I didn't ever feel like
I, uh, measured up.
But I wanted to give it a shot,
so I went to visit her
in the Philippines.
Daya picked me up
from the airport,
and when we locked eyes...
It was instant.
On our taxi ride to the hotel,
I couldn't keep
my hands off of her,
and, you know, it was...
there were sparks.
And five days later, I proposed.
Hello?
There you are!
You look good.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, you look very good.
Look at that.
We applied
for a k-1 visa,
and she's coming
in just two days.
I'm at the park.
This is where you'll come
and take Cassidy.
Oh.
I am very ready to see you.
Okay, you got to go?
Okay, baby.
I love you.
Love you, too, baby.
Bye.
She's never been
to America before.
We've only spent
And she's about to become
an instant stepmom.
So there's a lot of pressure.
She could decide
that she's too lonely,
that American life is
not what she's looking for.
If daya wants to leave
before 90 days,
it would break my heart.
It would break my heart.
Oh, yes!
My name is Chelsea,
and I'm 25 years old,
and I'm from
galesburg, Illinois.
I traveled to Nicaragua
to do volunteer work
in rural areas of the country.
Come here!
Never expected
I would fall in love here.
I went to a party
with some friends.
Like, it was
just like a music event.
And I, like, noticed
this okay-looking guy
up on stage,
and he noticed me, too, I guess.
So we decided
to go out that night,
and we had
such a good time together.
So we just wanted to, like,
keep hanging out
and keep seeing each other.
And the rest is history.
Chelsea is a beautiful girl.
A... mmm... gringita.
Wow.
It was definitely
a little weird at first
when we started dating
because yamir actually is
one of the biggest pop stars
in Nicaragua.
Everybody!
His group, myla vox,
sort of invented the idea
of pop stars in Nicaragua.
¶ Baby, tonight ¶
¶ tonight, tonight ¶
yamir is seriously like
the Justin Timberlake
of Nicaragua.
Girls flock to him.
Okay.
It was just always
a little awkward,
but I definitely got used to it
as time went on.
Chelsea is la única.
Chelsea is the girl of my life.
I am... Crazy.
Right from the start,
I knew that I didn't want
to be with anyone else.
And before we knew it,
we were engaged.
Living in Nicaragua is
extremely difficult.
Bathing daily
without hot water...
and sometimes there's no water,
so you have to use a bucket.
I just felt that in America,
we would just be able to live
a more comfortable life.
So we went through
the k-1 visa process.
And yamir and I are coming
to the United States
in two days.
It's so crazy.
It hasn't even sunk in.
You finally get
to meet my parents.
I will miss my family.
Of course.
Yeah.
I know.
a really short period of time
to, like,
make any drastic decisions.
Yamir's never lived
anywhere else
except for Nicaragua,
so this is going to be
a really big adjustment for him.
Everything happens for a reason.
"Everything happens"...
Everything happens...
"For a reason"...
For a reason.
It's hard being the person
that's making yamir
give up so much...
his successful career
in Nicaragua.
We know we're gonna have
so many opportunities
in the United States
that just aren't
available to us here.
I am sad for situation.
How are you gonna talk
to my mom?
"Hello"...
Hola.
If yamir is unhappy,
that's when the voices will
sort of return,
and I'll start to worry, like,
if I really have been selfish.
And that would just be...
Heartbreaking.
Not everyone in my life feels
the same way about daya.
I know quite a few Asian people.
These women have come over.
A lot of them are divorced
from the man that brought them.
Evelin's coming today to America
to begin our 90-day engagement,
and I want to make it,
you know, real special.
I think the passion
that me and evelin share is
probably the best
that I've ever had.
I'm committed to her
and won't be able to go out
and do things solo anymore.
You know, like James Bond.
But it's okay.
I think for me,
it's a change for good.
She makes me a better man,
and everything I do,
I do for her.
And I really want
to show her that.
Yeah, I was looking to get
a nice stretch limo
with some champagne.
I'm heading to the airport.
We actually have
a driver nearby.
We'll be there in 30 minutes.
Now that evelin's arriving,
you know,
it's definitely, you know,
getting more real.
We've only been together
in person
for two weeks at the most.
And we got 90 days
to get married.
It takes more than 90 days,
you know,
to get comfortable
in a whole new country
with a whole new environment.
I'm afraid it's just not enough
time for everything.
Oh, my god.
There she is.
Oh, my god.
I can't work my camera.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
Oh, my god.
You made it.
Oh, my god.
You look great!
Yeah?
It's the best moment
in my life because I say
now...
Do you know what I got, baby?
Lookit.
There's Luis right there.
Really?!
Oh, yeah.
See, finally,
no more Skype kisses.
No!
No. I'm so glad.
No more!
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you, god!
Yes!
Amor, amor, amor, amor.
Every time that, you know,
I see evelin,
you know, I feel love.
When I kiss her,
I definitely feel love.
I get horny...
so there's a lot of things
that draw me to evelin.
Definitely
a special relationship.
The first one right there.
Okay.
Come on in, baby.
Oh!
"Evelin & Justin!"
Go on, baby.
I love it!
Does it look different on Skype?
Yeah!
Oh!
Baby!
Oh, si.
Honey.
Take a seat.
Get on that thing.
Oh, si.
Ay, amor!
Oh, my god.
Are you ready for bed?
Yes, please.
You got your pajamas?
Um...
Baby, you know...
You sleep naked?
I think... Yes.
Ah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Let's get naked.
You're gonna have to have room
for her clothes, Brett.
I know.
You might want
to clean your bathroom, too.
Tomorrow's the big day
that daya comes to America.
And my roommate Lou is
helping me prepare.
Daya is very, very particular
about how her house looks...
Move the bed over just a hair
so one of you can
get up the side.
Maybe wash the sheets.
How her appearance is.
Daya...
is she a girly girl?
Frilly frilly?
She like all the expensive,
little shampoos
and all that stuff?
She's got a fine taste.
Brett's turned
into a stress basket
because they have
a lot to complete in 90 days.
Let's get rid of this carpet
because this is disgusting.
Everything is just a blur.
What do we want to do next?
I really haven't got
a lot of sleep.
I'm worried about
the color arrangement.
Well,
what colors does daya like?
She likes fuchsia pink.
But we're not getting
a bed that color.
You can't have fuchsia pink
on the bed?
No.
Why not?
Seriously?
I think she's gonna do
whatever she wants to do,
'cause you're a pushover.
I'm very supportive
'cause he is a very sweet guy.
And he's very caring.
So I think that daya's lucky
in that sense.
I'm so happy
to have Lou's support.
And not everybody in my life
feels the same way.
Hi, sue.
Well, hi.
My close friend from work, sue,
is very skeptical
of my relationship with daya.
She was one of the first friends
I made here
when I moved to Washington.
She's become
kind of my family out here.
So I'm meeting her
away from the office to talk.
I guess the thing
that really hurt me was
I came to work one day
and told you about meeting daya.
And I had shown you her picture.
And the reaction I got
from you was
she wasn't ever wearing
enough clothes.
All the pictures I saw were
bikinis and party...
you know, by the poolside
with beers and drinks.
And I thought, "wow.
This is what Brett calls love.
Okay."
If this is gonna be
a woman that you want to marry,
you know, a lot of women
hope to get a husband
to come to America.
And I know
quite a few Asian people
that these women have come over,
and a lot of them are divorced
from the man that brought them.
And I wouldn't want
to see that happen to you.
If I were in your shoes,
I would think
that I was crazy, too.
And I know that.
I want sue to see
the same daya that I see...
that true love really does
and can exist,
even if
it's a half a world away.
You were the first true,
real friend that I had out here.
Are you open to meeting daya?
What do you mean
by "meeting" her?
Like,
would you like to meet her?
Would I like to meet daya?
Well, um, if I'm gonna hopefully
have a relationship with you,
I would be willing
to be open to her.
Thank you for being so open.
Okay.
Let me give you a hug.
You're a good guy.
Chelsea... you know,
I hope that she is helping yamir
make the right decisions.
You said I'm manipulative,
I'm a liar.
But he's heading to the midwest
in the United States of America.
For a latino
who doesn't speak any English,
that's a serious situation.
My fiancé, mohamed,
landed in New York.
I paid
for his flight and transfers,
and he's supposed to arrive
in Ohio this morning.
But I didn't hear from him
since he landed in New York,
and I'm getting worried.
What was going on last night?
Like, I heard you...
Crying, in general.
I got a call from mohamed.
And he was with
some shuttle-service driver,
and he don't got his money
switched over to American money,
so they were taking him
back to the jfk airport.
And I don't know
if he's at laguardia airport
to make the flight to come here.
So has he called you since?
No.
I don't know where he's at.
I'm afraid he's not gonna
get off the airplane
when we get up there.
Do you want to try to call him?
This person cannot be reached
at the moment.
Please leave a message
after the tone
or call back later.
This is really weird
that he's not calling.
My worst fear would be that he
did come for just the visa,
and he just, like, left.
And I think my mom would be
really upset.
She wouldn't really want to deal
with stuff anymore,
and she would just get down
and depressed and stuff.
I know it's, like,
really serious
and you're really upset,
but you probably should
calm down
before you get yourself
too overwhelmed
'cause he's gonna be here
sooner or later.
It might just be a little bit
later than expected.
What do you guys think
we should do?
Should we just go
to the airport?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the only choice we have.
I've only really spent
a few days with mohamed.
Hope I haven't misjudged him.
Today is
my last day in Nicaragua...
Whoo!
What's happened with yamir?
You know, yamir...
who has always been
the more respectful member
of this band...
suddenly, you know,
he falls in love.
We're about to release an album,
we're about to have a party,
and one day he just calls me up
on the phone and tells me,
you know, "hey, I'm leaving
in a couple of months."
I know yamir from way back.
He's like my son.
I love the kid, you know?
Yamir continues to tell me
that moving to the states
will only open doors
for the group.
But once yamir abandons
the ship,
these two will be stranded.
So as far as Chelsea, you know,
I hope that she is helping yamir
make the right decisions.
So I wrote her a letter.
And I was not, um...
I don't think was insulting
in any way.
How are you?
Hola, amor.
The basic gist of the letter is
how could I be so selfish
to take yamir
away from the group
and from Gabriel.
"I don't deserve this."
Like,
"how could you this to me?"
Me, me, me.
It's all about me, Gabriel.
I just wanted to see everyone
before I go.
When do you go, anyway?
When do you guys leave, anyway?
Tomorrow?
We leave...
The day after tomorrow...
Wednesday.
If they don't mind,
I'd just like to at least have
a couple words with you.
So, my concern
with this entire situation has
nothing to do with the love
you guys have for each other.
My thing has to do
with the way it's been handled.
I support yamir,
and you know that.
And the idea has never been
for him to leave the group,
gabi.
Never! Never! Never!
It's a great... just let...
Just listen to me, please.
That's fine. I listen.
Because you wrote me,
and this is my chance
to talk to you.
Because the letter you wrote me
was extremely hurtful,
extremely hurtful.
And that's why
I haven't seen you.
It's not intended to be.
You said I'm manipulative,
I'm a liar,
that, like, how could I have
convinced him to go with me.
What's the next step?
A rural town in Illinois?
Be honest.
Only he can figure...
he has to have a plan.
He has to be there.
He has to be there,
and he has to see that...
I mean, if you were to tell me
he's heading to L.A.
Or he's heading to Miami
or he's heading to anywhere
where there is
some kind of Latin subculture.
But he's heading to the midwest
in the United States of America.
For a latino
who doesn't speak any English,
that's a serious situation.
Don't abandon this kid,
because he's the one
I'm looking after, you know?
He's the one that I've known
for so many years.
That's all, you know.
I mean, he's like...
he's like a son,
and I just want to make sure
that he's okay.
Yamir needed someone
like Chelsea in his life.
But if he leaves now,
he's abandoning that dream
that we all
sort of weaved together.
And it would be really sad
for me to think that yamir...
from this point on...
just withers.
I don't know if he's gonna be
at the airport
when we get there.
I don't know.
Justin.
Huh?
Now look at this.
What?
This.
It's okay.
"Okay"? No.
I will start making
the pancakes.
I think the sink is too small.
Ah.
That's what it is.
No. You need clean.
Yeah, but then we got...
two, three weeks, is this here?
The game...
like, I got to go watch TV.
I can't, like...
the game's on.
I was looking for a partner.
I think I wanted someone
that you know,
kind of wanted to, like,
be my wife, you know,
rather than just want
to get "married."
The dryer. The washer.
A vacuum.
The ironing board.
The rubber gloves.
I'm the king of the bedroom,
remember, not the kitchen.
You are queen of the kitchen.
I guess.
I'm gonna watch the game.
Let me know
if you need anything.
Ciao.
Okay.
It's weird.
Mohamed's supposed to be
arriving from Tunisia today,
but there's a problem.
How's everything going?
Not good.
Not good?
No.
What's going on?
I don't know if he's gonna be
at the airport
when we get there.
Danielle's a caring,
sweet person.
She'd take the shirt
off her back for anybody.
And someone from another country
could take advantage of her
to get a visa over here,
to get into our country.
Hopefully he's on the airplane.
We've been waiting for so long
for this to happen,
and then for this to happen,
it's... Frustrating.
We're here for you.
Mm-hmm.
I've sent mohamed
all this money to travel here,
and I'm not even sure that he's
on the plane from New York.
If he doesn't show up,
our 90 days could be over
before it even starts.
We get there.
We're an hour late.
Have you tried his number again?
Yeah.
It's not working.
We're searching
the lower level of the airport.
I don't know.
I'm asking
if he was on the flight.
An 11:20.
It came into c-29.
I don't know
if he was on the plane.
We're not supposed to be
giving out information
about passengers on the planes.
Okay.
This way.
Oh, god!
I don't know where, Jamie.
We're at the airport,
searching for my fiancé,
mohamed.
We've been trying
to call him all morning.
Don't know if he even made it
to the airport.
I looked down.
It looked like
the coat that he has,
that he's skyped with me before.
No! No!
Stop crying.
I was so worried.
My name is mohamed.
I am 26 years old.
I came from Tunisia...
When I saw Danielle,
I said, "finally!
"Finally, I'm not lost.
She's here."
To finally see him here
was just overwhelming.
Hi.
Faith.
Show him the sign, you guys.
I couldn't let him go
when I seen him.
I just needed to feel
that he was here with me.
Okay, we are rolling.
Daya is up in the air,
on her way to America.
My mom and I are
going to the airport.
We have to stop
to pick up flowers.
First place we're going is
to pick up a dozen roses
for daya.
The most romantic kind.
I'm a little bit nervous
to pick up daya
'cause we hadn't spoken
or anything,
but Brett was
completely excited.
Daya's never been
to America before,
so I want that moment
when she steps off the plane
to be perfect.
And we don't want her
to go home!
No.
Oh, wow.
So, we... I thought
we were going with roses.
I just thought
we were getting roses.
Okay.
What do you think?
That is really, really pretty.
You like them?
Oh, my.
It's got sunflowers and...
think she's gonna like them?
Oh, yeah.
I just hope I didn't tell daya
that I was getting her
a dozen roses.
I don't think you did.
You wouldn't, would you?
You wouldn't tell her
what she's getting...
Right?
Yeah.
So, we're a half-hour later
than I wanted to be,
but I still think we're okay.
We need the flowers.
Cool. Okay.
That was close.
Look...
No way.
I was looking for you!
Oh!
Okay.
My name is daya.
I'm 29 years old,
and I'm from the Philippines.
And I'm here
to be with my fiancé, Brett.
Welcome to America.
Aww!
I like being with him.
He makes me feel so comfortable.
And he makes me feel so secured.
Crazy.
What?
I think that there was just some
communication that got lost.
It was ordered ahead of time,
and I picked it up,
and that's what I got.
'Cause I really thought you were
gonna give me roses.
Remember when I was
still in the Philippines,
I told you that I liked roses?
That's what I'm trying
uh-huh.
If you want roses, we'll find
somewhere to get you roses.
Well, I already have this one,
so it's okay.
It's all good.
Okay.
I love you.
I love you.
Mwah.
This season
on "90 day fiancé"...
Amy is on her way.
She's leaving her entire life.
She's only coming here
because of me.
It's culture shock,
and you're learning how
to adjust to a new world.
Wow.
I got excited.
I want to touch it.
Where you going?
I only have 90 days
to get close to her.
Open up!
What's the length of time
you've spent together?
Bye, mom.
What if I don't like America?
Um...
Danielle is acceptable for me.
I'm very worried
that you're scamming my mom.
It's hard to be that person,
like, dragging him away
from everyone.
Brett's got all
this weight on his shoulders,
and she's pouting
'cause she doesn't have makeup?
nowhere close to enough time.
What?
Your mom just doesn't want me
to marry you.
She and I will be married
within three months.
Or not married.
It's not fair what you're doing.
