Which reality show follows couples who must marry within 90 days of a K-1 visa?

The story behind the answer

The reality show following couples who must marry within 90 days of a K-1 visa is 90 Day Fiancé.

The series centers on couples in which one partner is a foreign national entering the United States on a K-1 fiancé(e) visa. Under U.S. immigration rules, the foreign fiancé(e) must marry the sponsoring U.S. citizen within 90 days of entry. If the couple does not marry in that period, the visa holder generally must leave the country.

90 Day Fiancé premiered on TLC in 2014 and turns the immigration deadline into the show’s central source of pressure. Episodes explore family conflicts, cultural differences, finances, wedding planning, and doubts about whether relationships are genuine. The program has produced several spin-offs, including 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and The Other Way. A common mix-up is assuming the 90-day period is simply a dating rule created by television; it is tied to the legal conditions of the K-1 visa.
