Though certain cast members have admitted to elements of 90 Day Fiancé being staged, one thing that is very real is the participants themselves and the drama that goes on while trying to obtain the K-1 visa.

Speaking to Red Carpet Crash, executive producer Gabriela Tavakoli revealed they have to sift through hundreds of applicants for the show. As reported by Deadline, Matt Sharp, series EP and CEO of Sharp Entertainment, confirmed that the show reaches out to certain people, too, via immigration attorneys.

Sharp did advise, however, "We don't put people together. Everyone we feature on the show, they found themselves organically." He made it clear that the show isn't involved in the immigration process either, noting, "It's an authentic process: These are couples who are in love and going through this process."
