We’re only three episodes into the second season of TLC’s popular long-distance romance reality series 90 Day Fiance featuring six individuals visiting the US on K-1 visas, which give them 90 days to either marry their significant other, or pack their bags and head back home. As you might imagine, these relationships often cause friends and family members (and TV viewers) to question the motives of those who might just be in it for their green card, and no other Season 2 couple has raised more eyebrows than Danielle and Mohamed.

Here is the intro video to the couple:

In addition to their 15-year age difference (Danielle is 41, Mohamed 26), there is also the fact that Danielle has four kids — one of which is only five years younger than his potential new step-dad. Here’s a video clip in which Danielle and Mohamed discuss the first meeting between him and her oldest son:

Mohamed is from Tunisia and if you search for “Tunisia men marriage” in Google images the results are a little disconcerting in that there are several featuring younger, Tunisian who have married women from other countries. The photos link to stories (mostly British) with headlines like:

Grandmother aged 70 married Tunisian waiter of 20

‘Please come back home': Children’s plea to British mother who abandoned them to marry penniless Tun...

‘Give my toyboy a visa’, pleads real life Shirley Valentine: Woman who moved to Tunisia to marry her...

Just for fun I tracked down Mohamed’s Facebook page, and here are a couple of his photos prior to taping 90 Day Fiance:

So, the big question is: Did Danielle and Mohamed get married?

******** SPOILER ALERT ********

During the K-1 visa application process, Danielle made several posts in an online forum for people going through the process, and she eventually spilled the beans on whether or not they got married (as well as some financial issues she was dealing with).

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done. Just wait, the most hardest part! We are also in ap for 14 months now, so I can perfectly understand what you feel.

We got married July 9 and we need to fill papers out for adjustment of staus, but I lost my job the end of May so we are having some fincial problems. How long can you wait to do the the adjustment of status paper work. Can you get fees waived?

Fees are not waived, sorry. Ideally you should file as soon as possible which means being able to pay the applicable fees and possibly have a co-sponsor for the I-864 Affidavit of Support I-864.

We got married July 9 and have had some money issues, is it ok for spouse to do odd jobs making some cash like mowing lawns or things like that to help get money for adjustment of status?

So there you have it! Danielle and Mohamed got married on July 9, which is verified by this online K-1 visa tracker:

And in case you were curious about the K-1 visa procedure (I know I was), here is some info from Wikipedia:

A K-1 visa is a visa issued to the fiancé or fiancée of a United States citizen to enter the United States. A K-1 visa requires a foreigner to marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry. Once the couple marries, the foreign citizen can adjust status to become a lawful permanent resident of the United States (Green Card holder). Although a K-1 visa is legally classified as a non-immigrant visa, it usually leads to important immigration benefits and is therefore often processed by the Immigrant Visa section of United States embassies and consulates worldwide. If a K-1 visa holder does not marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry, then he or she must depart the United States within 30 days.

The great majority of K-1 visas applied for are granted. In 2009, 95 percent of the K-1 visa applications were approved: out of 29,127 K-1 visas applied for, 27,678 were issued, and 1,449 refused, and 1,266 were waived/overcome.

Keep up with Danielle and Mohamed as well as the rest of the 90 Day Fiance Season 2 cast every Sunday night at 9/8c on TLC!

Oh my! I really try not to be judgmental about other people's choices, but Danielle's situation (in particular) raises all my red flags. I wish her and the daughters all the best.

I read that they got married too so I knew! I'm wondering how long it will last? They definitely don't seem like they'd be together long!

I keep reading this as 90 Finance.....not Fiancé. Did with the other thread too-

[pood1]

I've never heard of this show, but after reading about it here, I'm sure they will live happily ever after.....

The marriage will last until Mohammed meets people who can get him places - eg: jobs, whatever. If it does last, then there is definitely something wrong with him because she's not all there. Her 21 y/o son came right out and told Mohammed that he thinks his mother is being scammed. Time will tell.

He had absolutely nothing to lose by coming here and marrying her. Did he even have a job in Tunisia??? She is paying for everything (or was)... Now, she has no job and they all live in a tiny apartment in someone's house. Four females, one guy, one bathroom. When he first saw the place, he said "it's small but it's okay".... LOL - what choice did he have?

She had everything to gain by bringing him here. She couldn't find anyone in this country to date her?????? She paid for his travel, food, everything. So, why wouldn't he come here. The land of opportunity.

She said her job was to work with "challenged" people. So, why is she out of work? There should be a big demand for people who do that work - I'll bet she was taking time off to be with him and maxing out her credit cards. JMO The only marriage I think will work is the one with Amy (the girl from South Africa)... For a 21 y/o, she is very mature. He needs to grow up but if they do get married, then I think his brothers will straighten him out. She's adorable....

I'm sure I have probably offended someone here so poof away.....

sophiamarie, I agree with you saying he's probably staying with her until he can meet new people etc. and I'm sure he will. She needs some type of mental help herself. She's sooo needy! That can't be healthy for any relationship whether it be with him or another guy. I don't think he could deal with the type of problems she has for long even if he wanted to. I think she's intentionally unemployed too, because I personally know there are job openings in her line of work.

Sophia and Colliemom - ITA with your posts. It's a mess!!!

If they got married I guess they consummated their marriage. I wonder if it was good for him. Or as they say, any port in a storm!

Yeah - he said no seks until he was married. That was part of his religion.

So, she's been out of work for how many months now???? 4, 5 ??? Are there no jobs at McDonald's for either of them??? Puhleez....... I wonder if they are getting any help from the government and how could they?

Danielle is probably getting some kind of government assistance unless she was justifiably fired from her job. Maybe she's on welfare by now. She's got an entire household to support -- husband and 3 teenage daughters. I'll bet she's got her credit card maxed out too. But at least she's got love, right????
