’90 Day Fiance’: Deport Andrei Plot Rehashed – More Scripted Drama for ‘Happily Ever After’?

90 Day Fiance brings back Andrei Castravet for Happily Ever After and rehashing a plot they tried with him before… Is this more scripted shenanigans to try and keep TLC fans tuned in to see what’s happening with him and Elizabeth Potthast?

90 Day Fiance Promo: Andrei Castravet under Deportation Threat Again? Really?

This time last year, Happily Ever After brought Andrei Castravet and his wife Elizabeth on for Season 6. And one of the big arcs of their last season was deportation. That time it was allegedly because he didn’t have a job.

At the time, fans raged and called the plot on 90 Day Fiance manufactured. Now, a year later, if you watch the new promo for HEA, you’ll see deportation is once again (supposedly) on the table. Is this real or scripted reality?

In Season 6, Andrei was on the cusp of getting his 10-year green card. Only they said that he needed a job to qualify. Then, Libby and her hubby were all stirred up over him needing a job to get his 10-year green card.

This created “drama” with her family who mostly gloms off Chuck’s business to pay their own bills. Most fans saw it right away as an excuse to force Andrei into Chuck Potthast’s real estate business and debunked what they saw as fakery.

But the truth is, you only need a job to get/keep a green card if employment is the basis for your immigration. The Moldovan’s green card is family-based. His criteria for coming to the US is marriage to a US citizen. It’s nothing to do with employment.

And fans were savvy to that and called out what they saw as scripted drama last season. One Redditor even said, “That interview was some of the worst frauding they’ve ever thrown out there” discussing the 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After Season 6 plot.

What Would the Moldovan Do to Get Deported on Happily Ever After?

For several seasons, they’ve pushed an angle that Andrei’s got some big secret. There’s an implication that he can’t go back to Moldova because of it. And now that he might be forced to go.

Yet, in an Instagram video a few months back, he talked freely about how he’d like to move back their one day with his wife and kids. But for now, he’s happy in the US. Doesn’t exactly sound like someone on the run from a big secret — or ICE…

Despite deporting Andrei being the theme of last season (and incurring fan outrage), they’re trying it again. This time, it’s about alleged reports made to the government about Andrei Potthast.

Of course, on 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, he suspects the Family Libby. But let’s be clear on this. USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) already did a deep dive into his past and his activities.

People that have been through the K-1 process can vouch that the initial scrutiny they undergo to get the K-1 visa or CR-1 visa (fiancé/spouse) is a rigorous process. Consider Jon Walters with his violent criminal record who remains unapproved.

Andrei passed that big hurdle with seemingly no problems. That’s why he’s in the US now. So, what should send him out of the US since he’s holding a 10-year green card (also called a permanent resident card)? Permanent is an important word.

There are very few circumstances that could get him deported. They include stuff like marriage fraud, convicted of a felony or other serious crimes in the US, drug crimes conviction, espionage, domestic violence, etc. It’s heavy stuff.

90 Day Fiance Doubles Down with Andrei Deportation Do-Over?

Now, as you can see in the 90 Day Fiance promo below, Andrei Castravet’s with Elizabeth at what appears to be an attorney’s office. And they’re talking about a legal matter, it seems.

There’s talk that someone’s writing letters to Homeland Security about him. Then, Andrei says lots of people “from the family” will try and “make problems from us”. Let’s assume he means the Potthast clan.

But really? The one that hates him the most, Charlie Potthast, doesn’t seem like much of a letter writer, does he? Plus, if Andrei Castravet gets deported, then the whole family will suffer an economic impact.

And that probably means the end of all the Potthasts raking in dough from Cameo and Only F***. Libby, Andrei, and all her siblings (even Charlie’s wife) are on the mature content site shilling naughty pics and videos…

Clearly, Andrei’s still in the US. Elizabeth is pregnant with their second child, and they seem to be doing well. Of course, that’s not very dramatic for the purposes of filming with Sharp Entertainment, is it?

The pic above is from the promo. He looks upset and Libby looks all pouty. But aside from when TLC cameras are rolling, they seem happy. That’s a red flag, it seems.

There’s fan chatter and comments, triggered by this promo, that many plan to skip the season. Viewers see scripted, over-blown storylines with little real to watch. Will you tune in for Happily Ever After season 7?
