90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way star Armando Rubio Niedermeier has been holding back significant information from the audience since his show debut. However, he now expresses optimism about moving to the United States to join Kenny Niedermeier. Originally from Mexico, Armando met Kenny through a support group for single gay fathers, both of whom share the heart-wrenching experience of losing unborn children. This shared tragedy helped cultivate a deeper bond between them, evolving their friendship into a romantic relationship. Kenny, hailing from Florida, made the bold decision to leave behind his four children and grandchildren to embark on a new life in Mexico with Armando and his daughter.
Life in Mexico has presented its share of challenges for the couple, particularly for Kenny, who encountered language barriers as he adjusted to a new cultural landscape at his age. Their relationship is also marked by a notable age difference of 26 years, which has led to discussions and disagreements regarding starting a family. While Armando expresses a desire to have children, Kenny hesitates at the prospect of changing diapers later in life. Their attempts to pursue IVF hit a snag when their surrogate unexpectedly cut off communication, yet they have remained undeterred in their pursuit, although they have not disclosed the outcome of this costly endeavor.
Celebrating Four Years of Marriage: Armando & Kenny
The Challenges on Their Journey to Marriage
Armando and Kenny’s wedding took place on May 22, 2021, at the picturesque Mansarda winery in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. The road to their nuptials was fraught with obstacles—initial resistance from Armando’s family, complications obtaining a marriage license (despite the legality of same-sex marriage in the state), and the postponement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these setbacks, the couple seized the opportunity for additional wedding planning time, ultimately crafting what is regarded as one of the most remarkable weddings in the franchise’s history.
Understanding Armando’s Visa Challenges
The Delay in Armando’s Move to the U.S.
Four years have passed since Armando and Kenny tied the knot, prompting fans to question why Armando has not yet traveled to the U.S. to meet Kenny’s family. Observers remarked that it seemed like Kenny was the one who had fully embraced life in Mexico. Speculation arose around the possibility of Armando facing a ban from entering the U.S. due to prior immigration issues. Recently, Armando’s comments hinted that there might be some truth to these rumors.
In March 2025, Armando addressed queries on Instagram regarding a supposed U.S. travel ban. He acknowledged that he frequently receives such inquiries, stating simply, “It’s a process and waiting game.” He clarified that all necessary approvals are in place and that he is awaiting an interview date, which could still take some time. Armando’s lack of a definitive timeline regarding his move to America has left fans curious, but he did indicate that he and Kenny have identified a potential location for their future residence.
The Uncertainty Surrounding Armando’s Spousal Visa
Future Prospects: Will Armando Choose to Move to the U.S.?
While Armando’s latest remarks suggest that he may soon be on his way to the U.S., he has not made any explicit statements confirming this. The couple continues to navigate the uncertainties surrounding Armando’s visa status, which adds to the speculation about their future together. Despite this, Armando appears eager to reunite with Kenny’s family and friends in the U.S. and may still consider the prospect of starting a family through IVF within the American landscape.
