What is '90 Day Fiancé' Season 9 all about?
You can never tell when and who you might fall in love with. And the couples of '90 Day Fiancé' can certainly vouch for that. From meeting on vacation to online dating, the show follows long-distance couples trying to make their relationship work despite the odds. With each of their end goal being to receive the K1 visa and settle in America, tensions often run high as they come face to face with the reality of their relationship.
As per the press release by TLC-- "Following K-1 visa rules, the couples will have 90 days to wed before the visa expires and their fiancé is sent back to their home country. The pressure is on and with travel guidelines more challenging than ever, there's even more at stake with these international love stories. This season, couples aren't just navigating unique lifestyle and cultural changes when arriving in America—many of them must also adjust to parenthood and nontraditional family lifestyles. And while absence makes the heart grow fonder, personalities and temperaments have changed and not always for the best…will these seven couples make it to the altar?"
