Last summer, we reported on Julia Trubkina’s green card issues.
90 Day Fiancé The alum arrived on a K-1 visa, married Brandon Gibbs, and continued to submit her paperwork and documents.
Despite this, he is currently at risk of deportation.
Fans have a lot of questions. For now, Julia’s answers are only deepening the mystery.
“Questions about my condition often come to me,” Julia Trubkina recently admitted in an Instagram caption.
“Answer,” she wrote, “My visa expires in December 2022.” That was two months ago.
“We don’t know anything,” Julia shared grimly. All the documents we had, we have sent them.
Julia had a lot of tags, and not particularly on topic. But whatever. It is his prerogative.
However, her news was worrying in its own right.
After Julia’s visa expires, how long can she stay in the US without breaking federal law? Is she already facing criminal charges?
Obviously, we do not know the exact date of expiry of Julia’s visa.
There are many different visas. We know that Julia came on a K-1 visa, but there are multiple versions of the green card as well.
It looks like Julia got a short-lived green card (like Andrei, not Yara) and that, also like Andrei, she didn’t get a new one right away. Similarly, she does not know the reason.
There is a chance that Julia may have to return to Russia and stay there for an unknown amount of time – waiting for a new visa.
However, online resources indicate that Julia may not need to book her awkward return trip right away.
He has up to 180 days after his visa expires before he faces a legal requirement to leave.
Even if the visa expires on December 1, that will still give her until this spring.
Of course, this is not an accidental rule. Being even slightly over the legal limit can have serious consequences.
Julia could face a re-entry ban for three years or more. So she would not want to take any chances.
Although this does not mean that Julia will have to leave in a few months.
The immigrant spouse of a US citizen has a legal right to apply for a green card – even if their old visa has expired.
One has to imagine that Julia has already done this. But this long, painful process rarely yields an update until good or bad news arrives in the mail. So it must be scary for both of them.
Some fans are voicing conspiracy theories, which are probably just a bureaucratic delay. They wonder if Betty Gibbs is involved.
Brandon’s mom is one of the worst villains in this franchise, especially when it comes to the main cast’s parents. She didn’t initially like Julia. And his behavior seemed like a sincere attempt to reciprocate that feeling.
These days he and his daughter-in-law are looking much better. One can imagine that she is playing a long game, somehow sabotaging Julia. But we are not seeing that happening. Real life is rarely so interesting. Still, we hope Julia has an immigration attorney helping her.
