  • Alan condescends to Kirlyam in the grocery store.

Should you ever want to marry someone who’s a citizen of another country—but do it here on American soil where the wedding industrial complex can cater to your every whim—your betrothed will have to be approved for a K-1 visa or “fiance visa.” She then comes to the U.S., you guys tie the knot, she becomes a citizen, and you live happily ever after. The caveat: the knot-tying has to be accomplished within 90 days or she’ll be forced to leave the country. Which means you better be pretty sure about the whole thing, right?

The two other couples—Russ and Paola, and Louis and Aya—seem better adjusted and better equipped to handle the unusual circumstances. (Paola and Aya happen to be slightly older than the two other women.) Paola is probably the most relatable character, an outgoing, big-chested Colombian woman who has to adjust to living in conservative Oklahoma, in Russ’s parents’ home, no less. She’s vocal about hating the living arrangement, but it’s nice that we don’t have to worry about her like we feel we have to worry about Aziza and Kirlyam.
