90 Day Fiancé offers a unique look into the world of international dating and matrimony. Using a unique 90-day fiance visa, the K-1 visa, four women and two men will travel to the U.S. to live with their overseas partners for the first time.

The stakes are incredibly high as these couples are forced to make a life-altering decision: get married or send their international mate home.
