Did You Get The TLC Casting Call?

[BethyWink 96]

Aww man you could have been them! Lol

I haven't seen a couple remotely resembling my husband and I yet. Western European who had 2 dozen visits in a 7 year relationship. And my family met daniel at the very beginning.

Haha yes, scandinavian who we met at a Harry Potter inspired larp, and argue over which country we should live in and if rye bread is actually good

Well that's no drama. A good relationship with a strong foundation! That would go against the 90 day image they are trying to portray lol

Don't care if they were paying million dollars an episode, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

[Ash.1101 1,756]

My sister and bro and law wanted myself and my husband to do this so bad.

At the end of the day, we're too normal for the show. Known each other for a couple ofyears before dating, spent about 3 years dating before marriage. We didn't lead a particularly exciting life and we didn't really have any cultural differences. The transition from fiance to marriage was... almost non-existant, it's like we've been living with each other for ever. The only "quirk" we have, is that I still have a good friendship relationship (for the most part) with my ex-husband, and my daughter has special needs.

I wouldn't have ever put my daughter through that though, cameras scare her anyways, -THAT- many cameras. Oh lord no. Not for millions of dollars.

for a couple thousand heck we'd totally do it! Stick it away in a savings act for our kids.

Our friends and family, the important people, know who we are and for the butt-ton of people that watch this show that we will never interact with - well, i could care less of their opinions of us based on the cutting and pasting and scripting from the show. Can't please them all

It's too bad that we are generally boring individuals (drama free) AND that we got married 2 hours after his POE ...talk about the shortest episode ever haha!

"docu-series"? really?

Some of the people who were on the show say they were the subject of bullying online. They say it was really difficult.

I had a skype interview with the casting director today. I'm not an actor--but i could play one on TV.

[Dutchster 1,107]

It was on TV yesterday and I always read Twitter during the show. It's horrifying how many people are bullying the fiances over tweets (mean tweets, name-calling tweets, attacking, etc etc) It's whatever you feel like you can deal with.

[Laurel0708 21]

I don't have Twitter or Instagram or anything. i only have a private Facebook page, so I'm not worried about that sort of thing.

[Wooderz 314]

I think the shows sets them up with Twitter accounts if they don't have one and "encourages" them to use it. I saw something that that effect on Nicoles Twitter regarding how Azan was just getting on twitter.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was written in the contract that you have to support the show thru social media.

I'm mystified why anyone would want to do that show, especially for the small amount of money they seem to be offering.

The earlier series were interesting but now they seem to pick the most bizarre people/relationships - good tv if you are a voyeur but totally misrepresents most k1s. I think its quite a negative thing for the k1 - they portray it as a load of misguided, gullible and desperate Americans, a load of foreigners obsessed with getting a green card, and with major culture clashes. There is a reason they don't feature Brits, Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis, Irish, etc. We're all far too boring.

Also they portray that the visa is a kind of 90 day "try before you buy" whilst in reality the whole idea of the k1 is that you've already made a decision to marry, not that you make the decision in the 90 days. Lost count of the number of times I've had to explain this to people when they find out about how I ended up in the US and mention they've seen the show.

I think the show would be more interesting and educational if they featured on more normal couples, and showed how the process worked (perhaps showing some behind the scenes stuff at USCIS) - but I guess for people who haven't been through k1, they'd prefer the current format.

Actually, I think in some ways it's good to raise awareness on immigration romance scams. If people watched this show and knew what to look for, then we'd have less victims ready to be scammed.... Maybe.

I sense it will still be a case of "Not my Ahmed."

Seems like everyone says it doesn't happen to me and especially women say he is not like that he is different then ALL the others....
