Since his split from his American wife, Kalani Faagata, 90 Day Fiancé star Asuelu Pulaa has been struggling to secure a green card.
Because their marriage is over, Kalani refuses to help him legalize his stay in the United States, making his situation even more complicated. On top of that, Asuelu has had a hard time maintaining stable employment, which could have helped him qualify for a green card in the long run. Without a reliable job history, he had to look for alternative ways to remain in the U.S. legally. His recent social media activity suggests that he may have found a loophole—one that could provide both steady income and legal residency.
According to his TikTok posts and Instagram stories, Asuelu appears to have enlisted in the U.S. Army. In his latest updates, he filmed his brothers in arms during their break, when they were allowed to use their smartphones.

Fans were shocked to learn that Asuelu had managed to join the military, as it seemed like an unexpected move for someone who had struggled with employment for years. While some viewers questioned whether he was truly committed to serving, others speculated that this decision was strategic—a way to secure both a paycheck and a green card. Joining the military could provide him with financial stability, allowing him to pay child support consistently and maintain a connection with his kids.
Will Americans now sleep peacefully knowing that Asuelu is protecting their country? Probably not. But at least now, Asuelu has a stable paycheck and a clear path to legal residency in the U.S. His enlistment means he will be able to see his children during annual leaves and holidays without needing a visa, since he was born in Native Samoa and not American one. While his journey to securing a green card has been challenging, this new chapter in his life could finally provide him with the security and stability he has been searching for.
