Kimberly Menzies and Usman Umar STUNNED He Cannot Have Second Spouse: Polygamy is Unlawful?

After plenty of tears and frustration, Kimberly Menzies and Usman Umar obtained his mother’s approval on 90 Day Fiance: Fortunately Ever After?

In order that they’re engaged and have his mom’s permission to marry. Properly, with a number of situations.

Sadly, as many followers have been mentioning on-line all season, a type of caveats might be a serious downside.

You understand all of that fuss about Usman’s second spouse? It might be moot.

Within the Sunday, November 21 episode of 90 Day Fiance: Fortunately Ever After?, Kimberly Menzies and Usman Umar are in a very good temper.

They’ve a video chat with an immigration lawyer.

The plan, after all, is to deliver Usman to the USA on a Ok-1 visa — as Kimberly’s fiance.

An entertained and really joyful Kimberly then reads out the settlement doc that Usman’s mom and brother gave them.

It’s like a really goofy prenup, however it’s on one web page in in measurement 14 font, outlining their expectations.

However when Kimberly reads these out to the immigration lawyer, they discover that they’ve hit a snag. Truly, a number of ones.

Sadly, polygamy isn’t authorized in the USA. It’s expressly outlawed.

For a lot of in plural relationships, that’s an inconvenience — many in polyamorous relationships don’t search marriage. Or a minimum of, not legally acknowledged ones.

However relating to immigration, this can be a severe impediment.

One of many questions that officers will ask Usman (most probably) is whether or not he’s planning to follow polygamy.

His alternative will both be to reply actually or to lie.

A “sure” on polygamy may put on down his possibilities of a visa. And mendacity is a big no-no.

Kimberly had been beneath the impression that Usman may have a wedding in Nigeria that the US doesn’t acknowledge.

(There’s no international marriage registry … you must ship within the documentation to show your marriages between international locations)

However clearly, the quite a few interviews will ask about this. Whether or not Usman is at present married … and whether or not he plans to produce other wives.

One other challenge, nevertheless, is the promise that Usman’s mom extracted concerning visitation.

She needs him residence quarterly — 4 occasions a 12 months.

However Usman might be taking a look at spending years earlier than he’s ready to do this.

“That’s not going to be doable as a result of what’s going to occur is, you guys need to get married inside 90 days,” the lawyer warned.

“After which, after the 90 days, you’ll file the applying to your inexperienced card,” she defined.

The lawyer detailed: “You’re not gonna be capable to journey until you get permission to journey.”

The interviewer then defined why the needlessly tough immigration course of is about up on this means.

“The principle goal is that you’re there to be together with your spouse,” she identified.

She added: “You might be in a lot love together with your spouse which you can’t consider your self being a day other than her.”

It’s form of unusual to suppose that neither Kimberly nor Usman knew this already. Maybe they did, and are simply highlighting it on digicam. Or possibly they … actually didn’t look it up.

From right here, Kimberly and Usman can both amend the settlement (along with his household), ignore his household, or break up.

Or they will simply “hope for the most effective” and determine to deal with these household expectations later. Flying by the seat of their pants seems like their type.
