A reality tv series on k-1 visa on tlc (90 day fiance)

[Darnell 8,478]

lol. Backpedaling already. So now the word game is they don't know each other "very well" - and whatever definition you want that to be.

These individuals were the result of a highly selective process, designed to give the impression of not knowing each other. This is the same thing, logically, as scripting the show. Since they are coached as well, it is just a situation comedy or drama with a phony pretext.

No, I don't need to watch it to see the very reaction I quoted to you, and others as well, that concede explicitly there is deception about the process.

it's very easy, what rlogan wrote and I wrote

makes for one heck of a reality tv-show - bring the @#$@ing drama and sell some adverts !

all this other stuff doesn't matter - the candidates MUST meet guidelines or they don't get on the show.

you can reverse engineer the guidelines (no, not you, rlogan - I mean anyone) by watching season 1, taking copious notes during the 'wt_f' moments and there ya go !

this show is a joke, is no way that it represents 90 percent, or even 80 percent, of k1 visa chasers and their loved ones. no f'ing way.

I have spoken.

My husband and I watched the first season and the first episode of this new season. It's entertaining and we know that's all the show was created for...to entertain.

I love this show.

I'm in my 2nd LDR and lets say, im so glad ive been lucky enough to live with him a year.

My first boyfriend and i were together 6 years before i moved to England to go to school (and to be with him) The most amount of time i spent with him before that was a two weeks-a month at a time. We did that about 2-3 times.

I was with him in England for 6 months and i couldnt do it anymore. We had nothing in common, i didnt like a lot of stuff about him that i might have known but pushed it aside. anywho lets just say im so glad i didnt do this visa with him.

I always wonder with these new couples if they have similar experiences to mine.

[MyLittlePony 340]

Anyone watching the new season? I think more than half of the couples wont make it before 90 days is up.

[rlogan 2,036]

I quoted what I wrote the first time.

Sure the producers hand pick those who have little time together.....but so what? They represent a significant share of those doing the k-1.

Well, it is hard to argue with such a stupid position - that hand picking reality show personalities makes no difference. lol.

Right now they are processing K-1's that are 248 days from their initial I-129F filing. Add to that the time required to complete the processing, issue the K-1, and travel to the USA. Add to that the months (or years) that people corresponded before they even went to visit the first time. Add to that the time between meeting and applying K-1. You are well over a year on average that people have been specifically getting to know one another for marriage before they even get here.

It is highly deceptive to pretend that people who have been courting for marriage more than a year "hardly know each other". That is an expression you use for people that you have maybe met once at a work function, a parent of some kid in your PTA, and what-not. It is entirely inappropriate language for people that are specifically courting each other for marriage more than a year. That's just malicious manipulative rhetoric to put them down.

It says a lot more about you than it does about them.

[rlogan 2,036]

I just went to the website for the TV show. Gee, I suppose it is an amazing coincidence that not one mention was made for any couple how long they knew each other before coming. I suppose too it is a coincidence that whenever any time horizon is actually mentioned that it is worded like this:

Brett traveled to the Philippines to meet Daya and spent five days with her. Then, Brett proposed!

Oh sure, that isn't worded to give the appearance of knowing each other for only five days, is it?

How about this:

Justin is a typical bachelor and hasn't told anyone about his relationship with Evelin

Oh yes - so typical that none of us even tell other people we are involved in a relationship.

Then there's fat Daniel with four kids, age 41 and her hottie Mohammed from Tunisia, 26. Very typical.

Danny’s father does not approve of interracial dating

Yes, probably the most common bond for all of us here on visajourney - our racist parents.

It's hard to imagine the Learning Channel coming up with a more informative program with circumstances so pervasive in K-1 visas.

Why care about what other people think of a t.v. show if you do not believe it portrays the realities of your relationship? If you`re happy with your decision then so be it and screw other peoples judgments.

Relationships are different for everyone. I for one could not imagine committing by getting engaged or even less married with so little time spent face to face with someone. But then again I'm in a, as mentioned 'Canadian-American relationship' and have spent just about 100 days over the span of a year with my fiance before getting engaged, but that is what we chose because it's a part of a relationship we need to commit.

Everyone makes their own decisions and part of being in a mature relationship is owning up to the path we have laid out before us. So if you're happy and confident in your relationships why should you be defensive?

we were going to be on the show but we decided we did not want to auditon. this is a journey we want to share together to the fullest. we do not need a show

[eieio 1,594]

I missed the last two episodes, so I watched them online last night.

I think everyone who goes through this process should watch the show. Specifically to learn what not to do.

I am looking forward to the next episode.

My husband and I watched the latest episode and I was kinda disappointed with how the Filipina reacted on her engagement ring to the extent of asking her fiance to go the jewelry store to have it checked. Personally, I don't care if the ring is real or not what matters most is how I am loved and cared by my man.

Danielle lost her job and they're having difficulty paying for AOS. The show didn't give them any $$ for filming their lives?
