After Giving Birth to Her Third Child, Karine Martins Has Her Green Card Revoked and Faces Deportation
According to blogger John Yates, who shared the scoop on Instagram, 90 Day Fiancé star Karine Martins is facing deportation after her green card was officially revoked by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
In the post, Yates revealed that Karine was on a two-year conditional visa, which is typically granted to spouses of U.S. citizens and requires proof of a bona fide marriage to be converted into permanent residency. However, USCIS issued a denial of her petition after what they described as a “thorough review” of her case and the submitted evidence.
The timing of this decision is particularly dramatic, as it comes shortly after Karine gave birth to her third child—a daughter—with her new partner, Mike. The Instagram post, shared by blogger John Yates, includes the first public family photo of Karine, Mike, and their baby, adding a deeply personal layer to the immigration news.
According to the USCIS letter shown in the post, Karine’s green card was revoked after a “thorough review” of her petition and supporting evidence. She was on a two-year conditional visa, and her petition to remove those conditions was denied—likely due to concerns about the legitimacy and continuity of her marriage to Paul Staehle. The fact that she had a child with another man while still legally married may have raised red flags, leading immigration authorities to conclude that the marriage was not entered into in good faith, as required by law.
This development has sparked a flurry of reactions from fans and followers, many of whom are questioning what will happen to Karine’s children and whether similar scrutiny will be applied to other cast members with controversial storylines like Jasmine Pineda.
