Prepare for a potential bombshell in the world of “90 Day Fiancé” as alarming reports suggest Karine Martins may be facing deportation from the United States! While Karine herself hasn’t officially confirmed anything, whispers and leaked information from within the “90 Day Fiancé” community point to a devastating denial of her Green Card application.
Karine, who originally moved to the U.S. from Brazil after marrying Paul Staehle in 2017, has had a notoriously rocky marriage, riddled with domestic strife and communication breakdowns. Despite welcoming two sons, Pierre and Ethan, their relationship continued to unravel, ultimately leading to Child Protective Services (CPS) taking custody of their children. For the past three years, Karine has been locked in an arduous battle to regain custody, all while Paul has reportedly relocated back to Brazil.
The rumors escalated in 2025 with claims that Karine had not only given birth to a third child in the U.S. with a new partner but was also making significant career strides while relentlessly fighting for her older children. However, a recent twist has thrown a wrench into these claims. A blogger had reportedly stated that “Karine Martins Staehle’s Green card was REVOKED,” even sharing photos allegedly showing the denial reason. But it has now come to light that these photos appear to be from 2021, casting serious doubt on the accuracy of the 2025 denial reports. This development is incredibly concerning, especially given that all three of Karine’s children are U.S. citizens, making her potential deportation a heartbreaking prospect for her family.
While the situation remains largely unconfirmed by Karine herself, the possibility of her being forced to return to Brazil has sent shockwaves through the “90 Day Fiancé” fanbase. Other cast members have weighed in on the unfolding drama, with David Toborowsky suggesting she “can appeal it” and Ashley Martson ominously commenting, “They will make an example out of her. Sad for the baby.”
The complex process of obtaining a Green Card on a K-1 visa, a journey often depicted on “90 Day Fiancé,” requires couples to meticulously prove the legitimacy of their marriage. While a conditional two-year Green Card is initially granted, the permanent 10-year Green Card is sought after that period. Even in cases of divorce, immigrants can apply for a permanent Green Card if they can demonstrate that their marriage was genuine and not simply for immigration purposes.
As of now, Karine Martins has remained silent on these specific Green Card rumors. The future of her residency in the U.S. and her ongoing custody battles hang precariously in the balance, especially with the newfound questions surrounding the accuracy of the recent denial claims. Will Karine break her silence? What will happen to her children? Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting for answers.
