90 Day Fiance: Michael arrives in U.S. after 7-Year visa wait for ‘new beginning’ with Angela
Michael and Angela, known from the reality TV show 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, experienced an emotional reunion as Michael finally arrived in Georgia after a seven-year wait for his U.S. visa.
On the June 30 episode, viewers saw Michael touch down from the Ivory Coast, marking the start of a new chapter for the couple.
In a heartfelt confessional, Angela described this moment as a "new beginning," while Michael, awestruck by his surroundings, expressed disbelief, saying, "It feels like I'm dreaming." Angela, clearly overjoyed, reassured him, "You’re in the USA. You’re in the f---ing USA," before pulling him in for a hug. Michael, equally ecstatic, exclaimed, "I’m so happy. Finally!"
Angela celebrated the occasion by gifting Michael a jacket adorned with the American flag and a bald eagle, symbolizing his new identity as a Nigerian-American.
Reflecting on their journey, Michael expressed gratitude for Angela's patience, stating, "We've been through a lot, and I appreciate my wife for her strong patience. She said she's not going to leave me until the visa gets approved."
He added, "After the administrative processing, after two weeks, it has been approved. It was quicker than I thought."
As they left the airport, Michael joyfully declared, "Home sweet home," and the couple shared a kiss. Angela acknowledged the challenges they faced, noting, "It's been seven years – maybe a little over, between all the visas," to which Michael added, "Finally, we are here."
However, Angela remained cautious about their future, recalling recent arguments while waiting for the visa. "I don't think living together is going to solve our problems, but I think we can start figuring them out better," she said.
"The real test is – now that he's here, is it going to make our relationship stronger? Or is it going to make it worse? Because now we're going to be out around each other 24/7 and I ain't forgot what happened in Ivory Coast. So he needs to work hard for me to trust him."
In his confessional, Michael expressed his excitement about building a life in the U.S. with Angela, saying, "It's surreal, I couldn't believe it. I'm excited to be by Angie's side and do things together – travel, go to nice restaurants, just have fun and build the family with her."
Fans can continue to follow Michael and Angela's journey on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, airing Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on TLC.
