Evelin Villegas, known for her turbulent relationship with Corey Rathgeber on TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé, has finally received approval to enter the United States—ending a nearly six-year ban that kept her from even transiting through the country.
Since 2019, Evelin has been unable to travel to or through the U.S., a restriction that cast doubt on the couple’s future and fueled speculation about her immigration status. The pair, who have weathered infidelity scandals and long-distance strain, waited three years for a critical interview that would determine whether Evelin could legally enter the country. This week, she was officially approved.
The news has sparked mixed reactions among fans. Some celebrate the milestone as a long-overdue victory for the couple, while others question the timing and transparency of the process. Immigration experts note that Evelin’s case highlights the opaque nature of travel restrictions tied to reality TV fame, and the emotional toll of prolonged bureaucratic limbo.
Corey, who has spent much of the last few years in Evelin’s native Ecuador, has yet to comment publicly on what this means for their future in the U.S. However, insiders suggest the couple may be planning a return to the franchise—this time with Evelin finally able to cross the border.
Whether this marks a new chapter or a fresh controversy remains to be seen.
