00:00I haven't had a haircut like this in about five years.
00:13It's exciting.
00:14It's an exciting day.
00:15Baby coming.
00:16Baby coming very soon.
00:17This is the bob right now.
00:20I've lost over a hundred pounds.
00:23She's snatched, darling.
00:24She's snatched.
00:25Give me a little oak.
00:27We need a shot of espresso.
00:30I know.
00:31Bridget is my agent.
00:32She's really trying to help my career as a model.
00:35You aren't 5'11".
00:37You aren't this high fashion runway type.
00:39I might not be cut out for this.
00:45I haven't really been in communication with my mother.
00:48You should go see her.
00:49You need to call.
00:50My mother, Debbie, we had a falling out two years ago.
00:54And as a result, my mother and I just stopped talking.
00:57I'm going to go see my mom.
00:59I'm afraid that my mother and I are just going to fall back in our old ways and start fighting
01:03again.
01:10It's been three years waiting for a King's Green Card.
01:13So today we are going to meet an immigration attorney.
01:18I went through a website online.
01:20I spent somewhere around $5,000 or $6,000.
01:23I don't see anything else that's been filed.
01:28Was he duped by somebody?
01:42Hi.
01:43Hi there.
01:44It's just another day in the ditch.
01:48Hello.
01:49My name is Colt.
01:50I'm 39 years old and I live in Morgan, Utah.
01:55Good morning, ladies.
01:59Ciao.
02:00Two weeks ago, I left Reno to live in Utah with my mother's brother, John, on his farm.
02:06You guys want a bath?
02:08It's been a hard life recently and I really just needed a fresh start.
02:18Nothing like being a farmer.
02:21My 90-day journey started when I met Larissa six years ago.
02:26She came to America.
02:28We got married.
02:29Larissa, I love you more than anything in this world.
02:33I will do anything to make you happy.
02:37And after six months of constantly fighting, we got divorced.
02:42Soon after, I started to date my friend, Vanessa.
02:46And we both bonded over our recent divorces.
02:50We started messing around physically and somehow I thought proposing to her was the right idea.
03:01To Mrs. and Mr. Johnson.
03:03Aw, that's so sweet.
03:05After Vanessa and I got married, we moved to Reno and we spent three years there together.
03:11But she came to me one day and told me that she wasn't in love with me anymore and we filed for divorce.
03:20Now that's a day's work.
03:23And it's just 12.
03:28Hey Cole, we've loaded all this. Let's take a break for a minute.
03:32That sounds good.
03:33Okay.
03:35Whew.
03:38I didn't know you could get hate everywhere.
03:40Yeah, it'll get in your pants too.
03:45You're working hard. I think you're reclaiming your life.
03:50You've gone through divorces and you've moved.
03:55I lost my job.
03:56You lost your job.
03:58This year has really been bam, bam, bam.
04:01I just want you to know we love you. I'm glad you're here. You could have gone up to Canada.
04:07Well.
04:08You know.
04:09I haven't really been in communication with my mother.
04:13I don't think she knows you're here yet.
04:15Yeah, I haven't really kind of told her exactly where I'm at.
04:18Yeah.
04:20My mother and I have lived together most of my life.
04:23And even though she was always kind of overbearing, she's been with me through the ups and downs of my life.
04:29Mom, look at me, Mom. I don't resent you. I love you. You're my mother. I'm your son.
04:36But we did have a falling out two years ago at the single life tell-all.
04:40You've raised me to be just a subservient person to you.
04:44I shouldn't be bothered with your life. This is your life.
04:48What are you doing, Cole?
04:49What am I really doing here?
04:51I just want to talk. I want to sit down. Let's talk about this.
04:55I was just fed up.
04:57And as a result, my mother and I just stopped talking.
05:02And that was pretty much the last time I saw her.
05:04We've been texting here and there, but I haven't told my mother directly that Vanessa and I have split.
05:11You should go see her. You should take a week, two weeks, whatever.
05:14Get your chores done before you go.
05:16Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
05:18And then you can go.
05:20Then you can go, okay?
05:22I understand where my uncle is coming from, but he doesn't quite understand my relationship with my mother.
05:28And I'm afraid that my mother and I are just going to fall back in our old ways and start fighting again.
05:33Well, let's finish up this hay.
05:35Okay.
05:36And get out of here. Get out of the rain.
05:45Oh, my leg.
05:48I got a cramp.
05:51I need to get my...
06:00It feels so good.
06:04I like to think I'm a guy that's pretty much kind of aware of what's going on around him
06:08and that when the universe is trying to tell him something.
06:12But looking back, I can see the same choices leading to the same mistakes.
06:18And I want to be someone different, someone better.
06:22And I think I'm at the cusp of that.
06:26My mother has invited me more than once to go visit her in Canada.
06:36But I have yet to take her up on that offer.
06:41I was just trying to build my own distance between us.
06:47But now I feel like I need my mother.
06:52I need to see her.
06:54My uncle John really thinks I should go see my mom.
06:57So I booked a plane ticket to go see her.
07:00And I haven't seen her in two years, so I have no idea what's going to happen.
07:04Can't lie, though, I am a bit nervous.
07:08And the last time seeing her, we kind of argued.
07:12I just don't want to fight.
07:14Good night.
07:24Well, here we is.
07:27Gonna go see my mom.
07:30And her dude.
07:32In Canadia.
07:34I'm really nervous about going to Canada.
07:36I've never visited her up there.
07:38I don't know how my mother's going to take the news that I live with her brother on his farm.
07:43She might take offense to that.
07:45And then I'm afraid that my mother and I are just going to start fighting again.
07:49And open up old conflicts and wounds that will lead us further apart.
07:55My mother doesn't know that I'm divorced from Vanessa.
07:58And I really don't know how Tony and I are going to interact together.
08:02So I feel like there's a lot of things that could go wrong really quick.
08:06I don't know.
08:21Today's going to be a fantastic day.
08:26We need clearing energy, cleansing energy.
08:30We need all the good vibes that we can get today.
08:34I'm Ashley.
08:36I'm 34.
08:38And I'm from Rochester, New York.
08:40This is the bod right now, fam.
08:43I've lost over a hundred pounds.
08:46Look at the ways, baby. Look at the ways.
08:48She's snatched, darling. She's snatched.
08:51Rico Suave. Come on. Come on.
08:54I'm waiting for my honey to get home from work.
08:57Yes, you heard that right, friends.
09:00He working.
09:02Oh, I love you.
09:04Hi.
09:07I am Manuel.
09:0937 years old.
09:12I'm from Puyo, Ecuador.
09:15Hi, boo.
09:17Oh, hey, baby.
09:19Yes, I love you, amor.
09:21Oh.
09:25You're very sexy.
09:32Manuel and I first met over 10 years ago.
09:36When I took a trip to Ecuador on New Year's Eve.
09:39We only spent a few weeks together before we got engaged.
09:43But I was 21 years old and Manuel was 24 years old.
09:47And we had to realize that we were just too young to be engaged or married.
09:52Like, holy s***.
09:54This is too much right now.
09:56And I called off the engagement.
09:58But then, about 10 years later, we reconnected.
10:02Estamos aquÃ.
10:04Finalmente.
10:06The day I flew back to Ecuador to visit him,
10:10we got engaged and started the K-1 visa process.
10:14Once he had it,
10:16Manuel came back to Rochester to be with me and we got married.
10:22¿Cómo estaba el trabajo?
10:24¿Cómo estaba el trabajo?
10:26Oh, my God, mi amor.
10:28Muy duro.
10:30Mira como estoy quemadito, mucho sol.
10:32Yeah, yo lo sé, pero me gusta su calor.
10:34Estoy bronceadito.
10:36Gracias a Dios, ahorita tengo el permiso de trabajo.
10:38Estoy feliz.
10:40Estoy trabajando aquà en remodelación de casas, pintura, lo que son terminados.
10:44Muéstrame tus músculos.
10:46Muéstrame tus músculos.
10:48Muéstrame tus músculos.
10:50Oh, Dios mÃo.
10:51Oh, Dios mÃo.
10:55Okay, baby.
10:57What are we eating?
10:59Rice, fish.
11:01With lemon and onion.
11:03Lemon in English?
11:05Lime.
11:07Lime.
11:09Lime.
11:11Lime.
11:13Yes.
11:15We are planning our trip to Ecuador to see his boys.
11:18He hasn't taken a trip back since he's been here.
11:21It's very important, because he is my wife,
11:24my children are my children, but now they are his children.
11:27I'd like him to work with the three of them and he should.
11:35Lets go, but infant.
11:37In the car he's going to work on the cows.
11:39He's not being taken.
11:41Exactly.
11:43He's lying.
11:44I don't want healthy dogs, like those.
11:47Get out of the kitchen.
11:49♪♪
11:58How's the walk looking?
12:00You like the shoes?
12:01They're pretty, right?
12:03Why are you walking in heels?
12:05It's supposed to be sultry and sexy.
12:09It's supposed to give that vibe.
12:11Right?
12:12I love it.
12:14I met the gym with my sister.
12:16I have been working out like a fiend,
12:19eating healthy, you know, counting my macros,
12:22and so far I've lost 126 pounds.
12:26I'm feeling really good about my body,
12:28and I'm excited to show it off.
12:30I'm even thinking about signing up
12:32for a bodybuilding competition in a few months,
12:34which is why I'm in heels.
12:36It's a part of the look, if you will.
12:39♪♪
12:42You ready?
12:43Yeah.
12:44Okay, so you can place your hand on this side,
12:46and then let the kettlebell go down
12:49and lift up with that other oblique.
12:52So Manuel really wants to go to Ecuador
12:55for like a month or six weeks.
12:57Great.
12:58And I agree.
12:59You know, it's been a while.
13:00He needs that.
13:01He needs that.
13:02But, you know, I'm also thinking
13:04I stay in Ecuador for two or three weeks,
13:07and then I go to Toledo
13:08and do a spiritual retreat in Mexico.
13:11Oh, my, without your husband?
13:13I don't really want Manuel to come with me.
13:14He's going to mess up my vibe.
13:16I don't know.
13:17Your whole mom, you talk about,
13:19I want to be with the kids for three weeks
13:21and then bounce to Lou.
13:23I mean, here's the thing.
13:24I'm going there to find my zen
13:27and work on my shadow self.
13:29♪♪
13:31I personally don't think it's that big of a deal.
13:34I can go to Mexico
13:37and go on this spiritual retreat,
13:40and Manuel can have alone time
13:42with his family,
13:43which I think is really good for them.
13:46You know, he hasn't seen his family
13:48in two years plus.
13:50Does he know he's my mom?
13:52No, I haven't said anything to him yet.
13:54I just think you need to have a conversation
13:56with Manuel about all your ideas.
13:59I'll consider it.
14:00Oh!
14:01I'm so bad.
14:03You just do what you want.
14:05So does my mom.
14:06Yeah.
14:09♪♪
14:13♪♪
14:20I'm not trying to tell you what to do, Lou,
14:22but you're going to have to get over in the other lane.
14:24When people do it, that's to go.
14:27When they do their prayers, it's...
14:30No, no, no.
14:32And that's because I'm teaching you
14:34the language of driving in America.
14:39Are you stressed?
14:40I'm telling you what you need to know.
14:42Look.
14:43♪♪
14:45Oh, my God.
14:46I'm so bad.
14:48Okay, okay.
14:49Sorry.
14:50♪♪
14:52Yeah.
14:54Let's bounce.
14:56Okay, let's go.
14:57Bounce.
15:04Let's bounce.
15:05Let's bounce.
15:06Yeah, baby!
15:08Today, Manuel and I are going to play mini golf.
15:11Manuel and I both have been working super, super hard,
15:14so we're going to play some mini golf
15:16to blow off some steam and spend some time together.
15:23I have to tell Manuel
15:25that I'm going to leave Ecuador early
15:28to go on a spiritual retreat in Mexico,
15:31and I'm a little worried how he's going to take this.
15:40I knew you'd suck at this.
15:41Oh, wait. Oh, wait.
15:44Okay, it's me, Turno.
15:47Okay, baby.
15:48Dale.
15:50Ha, ha, ha, ha!
15:56Wow!
15:57Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
16:00Wow.
16:04Yes.
16:07Yes.
16:11Yes!
16:21Okay.
16:23Okay.
16:39No.
16:40Man.
16:51Well, that didn't go like I had planned.
17:11Okay.
17:18I don't really know what to say.
17:21I have nothing to say.
17:40Let's go.
17:46TURNO VISITS MEXICO
17:49WITH THEIR FRIENDS
18:05I am on a business trip to Miami.
18:07I'm on my way there to meet my friends.
18:09I love to get work there because I can also see my friends.
18:12I no longer live there, I live in New York.
18:14A lot of things have changed.
18:16I am Fernanda, I am 26 years old
18:19and I'm from Guanajuato, Mexico.
18:23Seven years ago, I met my ex, Jonathan, in Mexico.
18:27Hello, everybody.
18:30And despite the age gap of 12 years,
18:34we got engaged and I moved to the US.
18:37But after getting married, things quickly turned down south.
18:42Pay for your college, pay for your apartment,
18:44pay for your boobs.
18:45What else do you want me to do?
18:47I'm sorry, I don't have the money you have.
18:52I felt very isolated and controlled.
18:55He didn't really support my dreams and career,
18:58so we got divorced.
19:00And I moved to Miami, where I met my roommate Noel,
19:04who I started dating.
19:06Where are you from?
19:07Germany.
19:08Ever been to Germany?
19:09No, I haven't.
19:10Are you going to take me?
19:11We will see how this goes.
19:14After a three-year relationship, he had to move to Germany
19:18without me.
19:19I felt like his career was more important
19:22than our relationship, so we decided to part ways.
19:32Here I am, Miami.
19:34I just got to my best friend's house.
19:36I am here for a couple of days.
19:38I have some work.
19:39But I'm excited to see my friends
19:42and catch up, they're waiting for me.
19:45Yes.
19:46Hi.
19:47Hi.
19:52I'm so happy you're back.
19:54Welcome back.
19:55I know, right?
19:56Let me take your bag.
19:57I'm so excited you're back.
19:59I'm so happy.
20:01No, really.
20:01I mean, it's just, I can't even imagine.
20:04I know.
20:06We want to hear everything.
20:07This year has been something else,
20:09but obviously work hasn't been like.
20:12Yeah, how is work?
20:13Have you been getting jobs booked while you're out there?
20:17Not as much as Miami.
20:24Right now, I am not making enough money
20:26to be living in New York, so that's
20:28why I'm traveling back and forth from New York to Miami.
20:31I really don't know what I'm going to do,
20:34whether I stay in New York and keep trying,
20:38or I come back to Miami.
20:41Right now, I'm from drunk to kind of coming back.
20:45I'm just conflicted.
20:46I have to figure out what's the best move financially
20:50for the rest of my career.
20:52But in general, I'm just so happy to be here.
20:55I'm going to serve you the whole wine
20:56so you can stay here forever.
20:58Cheers.
20:59To the amazing things coming our way.
21:01Yes.
21:04Me provoca, baby, yeah.
21:09So I'm in Miami.
21:10I just got to my agency office.
21:14I'm going to have a meeting with my agent.
21:17Bridget is my agent.
21:18I met her seven years ago in Chicago,
21:19and she's been my agent for my entire career.
21:23Looking forward to our meeting.
21:26Yeah, where you been?
21:27Good.
21:27She taught me how to do everything
21:29I know within the model industry, walking, posting,
21:32even speaking English.
21:33Because when I first met her, my English was really bad.
21:37So come on in.
21:38We'll chat a little bit about the shoot tomorrow.
21:42I'm excited.
21:43Yeah, so it's a Montreal-based luxury resort
21:46wearing swimwear brand.
21:48OK, good.
21:49Yeah, body needs to be on point.
21:53I'm like, oh, those extra pounds, it's OK.
21:56But it will be, especially for New York audience.
21:59New York, how is it?
22:01We miss you.
22:02I know.
22:03I miss my family, too.
22:04Every time I come back, I feel conflicted, though.
22:06I'm like, oh, I had it so good here already.
22:08But in a way, I felt stuck, like in my comfort zone.
22:12And New York challenges me.
22:14New York is extremely competitive.
22:16So you're messing with the big dogs.
22:18And with that being said, you know, you aren't 5'11".
22:23You aren't this, like, high fashion runway type.
22:26How's the walk?
22:27It still needs some work, for sure.
22:31I'd much rather to do print work.
22:33But I do know that I have to work in expanding my skills if I
22:36want to make it to New York's caliber.
22:39Loosen up, girl.
22:41All right, let's see.
22:51Give me a little oomph.
22:52You need a shot of espresso.
22:54I know.
22:56New Yorkers are boom, boom, boom.
23:02I know Bridget is really trying to help me and give me the
23:05skills that I need to be successful in New York.
23:09But to be honest, it does make me feel a little bit like I
23:12might not be cut out for this.
23:15And maybe I have to re-evaluate my dreams.
23:19I know, it was horrible.
23:20But you guys, you guys have shaped me.
23:24All right, so I will keep practicing at home, for sure.
23:28It's on you, girl.
23:29I know, I can make my promise.
23:40Hello, how are you?
23:43I am so grateful that I'm able to work here in Miami, so
23:46somehow I can make money to pay the crazy rent in New York
23:50while I try to make it there.
23:54One, two, and three.
23:55Travis, one, two, and three.
23:58OK.
23:58Travis, beautiful.
24:04I love it.
24:07Good?
24:09That was easy.
24:11OK.
24:12Those are so nice.
24:14And we got it.
24:20I really had a blast today.
24:22I do enjoy my time here in New York.
24:27I do enjoy working and modeling.
24:31I think it's always been one of my passions and something
24:35that I really, really enjoy doing.
24:38But managing a career from two cities
24:40has become incredibly difficult.
24:45So I have to make a choice.
24:48I do believe that I want to give New York a chance.
24:52I'm going to give New York a chance.
24:56But I'm not ready to give up New York just yet.
25:00I'm not.
25:13Hey, everybody.
25:15It's me, Rob, just heading to the barbershop.
25:18My name is Rob.
25:19I'm 35 years old, and I live in Los Angeles, California.
25:23I haven't had a haircut like this in about five years.
25:26It's exciting.
25:27It's an exciting day.
25:29Do still have the long hair.
25:33We'll see how long that lasts.
25:37My 90-day journey started about five years ago
25:40when I met Sophie online.
25:42I was living in Los Angeles, and she was
25:43living in London at the time.
25:45I love you, baby.
25:46Sophie and I were long distance, but then we
25:48decided to apply for the K-1 visa and get married.
25:51It's my very great pleasure and delight
25:54to now pronounce you husband and wife.
25:58We moved to Austin right after getting married,
26:00but there were a lot of trust issues in our relationship,
26:03so we ended up fighting all the time.
26:05I agreed to try and make things work
26:06by going to a therapy retreat.
26:08But to my surprise, Sophie decided that she'd
26:10be the one leaving me.
26:21Love to be home.
26:24Yeah.
26:27The divorce isn't final, but it's pretty much,
26:29you know, that's where it's headed.
26:31And I'm back in LA, and she's still in Texas.
26:36Boy, Paco.
26:37What's up?
26:38What's good, bro?
26:40Man, it's been a minute.
26:41How many years has it been?
26:43It's been too long, and I got to get a fresh cut.
26:46You see, I've been walking around here
26:47and clearly not getting my hair cut, but you know.
26:49Getting rid of it?
26:50Yep, yep, yep.
26:50We're going to get into it.
26:52I've been growing my hair out since I met Sophie,
26:55and I think I've been growing it our entire relationship,
26:57which was like a four and a half, like four and a half
27:00years.
27:01So this hair represents a bad relationship
27:03and a bad time in my life.
27:06Yo, y'all see what's going on right now?
27:09Paco.
27:10Oh my god.
27:12It's gone.
27:12No.
27:13No.
27:15It's gone, just like that.
27:18It's kind of sad.
27:19It's kind of sad.
27:20I'm looking at it like, damn, this hair was through it
27:22with me.
27:23This is the hair that's holding the trauma right here.
27:25This is that hair.
27:26But it's just like, damn, man, this is the last four
27:29years right here.
27:31It's crazy.
27:32How you been, Paco, man?
27:33Things been good for you out here while I've been gone?
27:38It's good.
27:41Yeah?
27:42I saw you got married.
27:45Man.
27:45Paco's a married man.
27:48About that time, bro, 38 years old.
27:51Oh, you tried it.
27:52I tried it.
27:53I did try it, you know?
27:54Things just didn't work out, man.
27:55Like, as soon as we got to Texas,
27:57it was like her priorities completely changed.
28:00I mean, I was willing to keep trying as long as she was.
28:02And then once it was like I wasn't getting that from her,
28:05then OK.
28:06Like, now I feel OK to just move on, just let it go.
28:11And that's pretty much what happened.
28:13Things were pretty dark there for a little bit.
28:15But luckily, I made a great friend at therapy,
28:17someone who could shine a little light on that darkness.
28:22And we've been hanging out in our free time,
28:25doing just fun stuff together.
28:26And this week, we have a trip to Vegas planned.
28:32All right, Paco got me right.
28:34I appreciate it, brother.
28:44Good morning, good morning.
28:45Even though we're in Vegas, having a good time,
28:48still got to get that workout in.
28:50So yep, Brian never stops.
28:52So here we are.
28:53We're going to go get a workout in.
28:55The person that I've been hanging out with a lot
28:56is actually Josh.
28:59We met during couples therapy at Last Resort.
29:01Initially, I did not have a very good first impression of Josh
29:04since he was kind of shooting his shot at Sophie
29:08a little bit.
29:09Her man has been like messaging me on Instagram.
29:11What?
29:13He was like, you know, inviting me to like Vegas.
29:15No way.
29:20Just playing with fire.
29:21But in the end, we bonded over our failed relationships
29:24and became really good friends in the process.
29:27So this gym, it's a pretty cool gym.
29:29Check out what we got going on back here.
29:33Nice.
29:36All right, found us a little prop on the wall.
29:39The camera.
29:40A little tip for, we'll start with one real quick,
29:44just a little warm up.
29:45All right.
29:46All right, let's get hammered.
29:48Sophie, she called me yesterday.
29:51Yeah.
29:52We were walking through the casino.
29:53What'd she say?
29:54You don't miss me?
29:55And I'm like, you didn't miss me for a whole two years
29:59while we were living in Austin and you were just
30:01living with your friends.
30:03That's terrible.
30:04Yeah, and it's like, I don't know if it's because now I'm
30:06single and now I'm like living my life,
30:08that she just feels some type of way all of a sudden.
30:11Yeah.
30:11It's just giving me these honestly concerning messages
30:14where I'm like, why are you acting
30:16like you care all of a sudden?
30:18Like, you caring now, it's just not good for either of us.
30:21Right.
30:22She went out and she found out, well,
30:24the grass is not greener on the other side kind of thing.
30:28Sophie's been hitting me up a lot lately.
30:30Maybe she's feeling guilty about ending our marriage
30:33so she wants to be friends and make herself feel better.
30:36I really don't know, but I don't like it
30:38because it's making it harder for me to move on.
30:42I feel like Sophie thinks she wants to remain friends,
30:44but I kind of feel like she doesn't deserve that.
30:48And I agree, like, just outside looking in, man,
30:52like, you know, it is time to live for you, man.
30:55It is time for you to get out there and, you know,
30:58find what makes you happy and who makes you happy.
31:01You know, besides me, of course, like, I mean,
31:06like, the relationship-wise, you know?
31:09As low as it got, as dark as it got, man,
31:12it's so much brighter now.
31:14Josh, he's helped me to not be in a negative place.
31:17And I'm, you know, I'm indebted to him for that
31:19because breaking up, splitting from a marriage,
31:21that's tough.
31:22I'm going to do what the girls do.
31:24I'm going to go out there and get snatched.
31:25I'm going to go be the best version of myself.
31:27Yeah.
31:28It's my, it's my, uh, what's that term?
31:31It's a drizzle drizzle era.
31:34But you know what?
31:35To the ladies out there, I'm single, I'm available,
31:39I'm trying to move on.
31:40So don't be shy.
31:42Shoot your shot.
31:44Yeah, let's get this.
31:45Let's get, let's find Rob's, Rob's team now.
31:48We're going to get this ball rolling.
31:49Yeah.
32:02Today's the day we are moving.
32:04We are moving because we need more space.
32:06I'm not really used to this much space.
32:09Me too.
32:10But we are making space.
32:14Baby coming.
32:15Baby coming very soon.
32:17I'm so excited.
32:18But I'm at the point where my feet are now swollen.
32:21So I'm going to need to sit, babe.
32:23OK.
32:23Help me.
32:25This is my beautiful wife, Akini.
32:27And this is my husband, Benjamin.
32:29We live in Phoenix, Arizona.
32:30I'm originally from Kenya.
32:33Let me put my feet up.
32:35There we go, babe.
32:37All right, I'm going to keep working on these boxes.
32:39I'm just going to chill here.
32:41This is what I get for being pregnant.
32:43I just chill.
32:44Benjamin is doing most of the moving.
32:48I first met Akini in 2018 on a dating app.
32:53And she was gorgeous.
32:56So I sent her a message.
32:57I didn't think she was going to respond.
32:59But fortunately, she did.
33:01She had a great smile.
33:04And I just was blown away.
33:07He forgot the dimples.
33:11Once we started talking, he was very respectful.
33:14He was a very nice guy.
33:15And it didn't take very long for us to start our process
33:17with the K-1 visa.
33:20Oh, my god.
33:28You're real.
33:29You're real.
33:31Oh, baby, you're so hairy.
33:34Oh, wow.
33:37As soon as the K-1 was approved,
33:39Akini came to the US, and we were married.
33:42Today, I choose you.
33:43And forever, I will always choose you.
33:45Benjamin, you may kiss your bride.
33:47Woo!
33:51We've been waiting to be pregnant
33:53for since we got married.
33:55It has been something that has been delaying.
33:59I've gone through so much tears and crying.
34:02And finally, we're having a baby.
34:05Akini came to me and told me that she
34:07had seen this thing on social media
34:12about using a decongestant to get pregnant.
34:17So what the decongestant does is it loosens up
34:22any mucus inside of the coochie, the vagina,
34:28if we're going to be correct.
34:30But a week after we tried it, we just got pregnant.
34:35Yeah.
34:37I can't wait to be a mommy.
34:41I can't wait.
34:43I have three months left with this pregnancy.
34:47We don't know the gender of the baby yet,
34:48but I want it to be a girl.
34:51And I'm thinking it's a boy, going off of being gassy
34:58Wow.
34:59We're getting gassy lately.
35:00Wow.
35:03Oh, it's hungry.
35:04Oh, that looks so nice.
35:05Can I see it?
35:06Yeah, try it out.
35:09Oh my goodness.
35:11This is so good.
35:12You can sit there and just.
35:13You know what?
35:14You can leave me here.
35:18Thank you, babe.
35:19You're welcome.
35:20This is so nice.
35:24I love you.
35:28You get it, I'ma get it.
35:30How have you been feeling, babe?
35:33My belly is growing.
35:37Have you been feeling sick at all?
35:39And my hands have been getting very swelling lately.
35:44So Benjamin and I have been talking about what
35:48I want for my push gift.
35:49And I want a calf.
35:52Now that we're having a baby, I think
35:53it's going to be the perfect time for this,
35:55especially if we're having a girl,
35:57so that we can always just go shopping without him
35:59having to drive us everywhere.
36:02So we're going to look at a car and see, like,
36:04what we can get before the baby gets here.
36:09Do you have anything specific or anything?
36:11Yeah.
36:12I would like something big, something that says,
36:16as long as it's, you know, gravity.
36:18I have a SUV that we just got in,
36:21and all the buttons and whistles,
36:22and it's got a lot of grip for you.
36:24So here's the car right here.
36:26Come take a look at it.
36:28Oh my god.
36:29Yeah.
36:33It has three rows.
36:35Yes, babe.
36:36Oh, that's so cool.
36:38OK, babe.
36:39I found a dream car.
36:41Oh, yeah?
36:42Yeah.
36:42This car is big.
36:44It's nice.
36:45That's what I'm going for.
36:46I love everything about it.
36:48Yeah, so this one is $46,500.
36:55Babe, $46,000 is a bit over budget.
37:00I was thinking something more like $20,000.
37:03With the new house, there's added expenses.
37:07And being the single income provider for the house,
37:11it's a bit difficult right now.
37:17It's a really expensive car.
37:25Well, you can't even drive right now.
37:28I don't have my driver's license
37:30because I need my green card fast.
37:32But it's been a long wait.
37:35I use an online service.
37:37And every time I check on the adjustment,
37:40it just keeps saying processing.
37:43Don't worry.
37:44I'm going to get you taken care of, and it'll happen.
37:48It'll happen.
37:57Maybe when we get back, we can move from Arizona.
38:00Where do you want to go to?
38:02Honestly, somewhere that's not this hot.
38:05Today, we are going to meet a immigration attorney.
38:10It's been three years waiting for Kimi's green card.
38:13So we're going to see what's happening.
38:16Three and a half years.
38:18Three and a half years.
38:19You cut off the half.
38:21There she is.
38:23Hey there.
38:24How are you guys?
38:25Good, how are you?
38:26Good to see you.
38:27All right, let's get sat right over here.
38:30How's your day going?
38:32It's going hot.
38:33It's hot outside.
38:33It's hot.
38:34Yes, very hot.
38:36OK, so what's going on today?
38:38What are you guys here for?
38:41I don't have a valid ID.
38:43I am still not able to walk.
38:46I'm not able to travel.
38:49I'm not able to go see my family.
38:53OK, so let's start from the beginning.
38:55Once you guys get married within the 90 days, which you guys
38:58did, right?
38:59You're supposed to file paperwork
39:00to get your work permit, your travel document, your social,
39:03and your green card, which you didn't file.
39:06I did that.
39:07I went through a website online.
39:10I think I spent somewhere around $5,000 or $6,000
39:15with this company.
39:17When you try to check up on it, what does the website say?
39:20One of the things they recently told me,
39:23because I've been reaching out to them,
39:25is that they actually need more money from me.
39:31OK, so as far as I can see, I just see the K-1 approval.
39:37Since then, I don't see anything
39:38else that's been filed.
39:43Was he duped by somebody?
39:46Yes, and unfortunately, it is something
39:48that I see a lot, where somebody thought the paperwork was
39:51filed, and they relied on those assurances.
39:54And I see nothing at all on my end.
39:56So all that money we spent on that website
39:59is just gone like that?
40:08It's embarrassing, and it's disappointing.
40:12It's been so much money, and I'm sorry.
40:19It sucks.
40:19I'm so sorry.
40:21But we can fix it.
40:23You're still protected by being married to a US citizen,
40:25but we can get it filed ASAP.
40:27And then once we file it, it normally
40:29only takes about two to four weeks to get a receipt notice.
40:32We can get you an ID pretty quickly at the MVD
40:34here in Arizona once we file.
40:37Yes, you can start driving.
40:39Yeah, all of that, you'll see real things this time.
40:44I'm honored that you didn't do this years ago,
40:47but I'm glad that it's now starting to happen.
40:50The milk has already been poured on the ground as they...
40:53Do you say that in America?
40:55You can't cry over spilled milk.
40:57What he said.
40:58Even though I dropped the ball with this,
41:01and at this point, we would have saved money
41:03if we had just come and done this at the beginning.
41:06Yeah.
41:07But I will always fight for you,
41:09and I'm always going to take care of you.
41:12No, that's not sweet.
41:13I am expecting a really good push present, by the way.
41:17Okay.
41:19We should be ready to file in the next week.
41:20Okay.
41:22It was so good to meet you in person.
41:24Great to meet you.
