Are Abuse Allegations All For A Green Card?
In an interview with AfterBuzz TV, Jonathan Rivera maintained that he never laid a hand on Fernanda Flores. The 90 Day Fiance star claimed that there’s a bigger reason why his estranged wife is making claims that she was abused. Jonathan alleged that Fernanda made up the accusations for her to have a shot at getting a green card.
Jonathan Rivera says he was aware early on the relationship that Fernanda only wanted U.S. citizenship and modeling career. Apparently, Fernanda Flores learned that claims of abuse would allow her to stay in the United States for good. Jonathan added that Fernanda was told about the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and she’s now using it against him. Basically, the law says that a person claiming to be abused can’t be deported if the K-1 visa relationship fails.
Despite Fernanda’s claims, Jonathan insisted that he’s innocent, adding that there’s not a single proof to support her allegations.
