The “90 Day Fiancé” journey for Mark and Mina hit major turbulence. A shocking revelation emerged: Mina’s son, Clayton, apparently lacks a passport to enter the United States. This oversight ignited a fan firestorm. Many question the couple’s preparedness, especially Mark, a high-profile pilot. Their dream of a new life is now clouded by a bureaucratic mess many feel was avoidable.
90 Day Fiancé: How Could Mark Not Know?
Mark’s profession is at the heart of fan bewilderment. How could a pilot not know a child needs a passport for international travel? One Reddit user voiced this concern: “You would think with Mark being a high profile pilot he would know… Even I knew that, how could he not know?”
This disbelief grew when it was further commented that “Mark said he didn’t know Clayton needed his own passport.” This admission baffled many. Another commenter simply asked, “Wouldn’t a pilot know this?” The oversight seems too basic for someone in aviation.
Some fans offered alternative explanations. One suggestion was that “if hes only done domestic flights he might not…forogt.” This theory posits Mark’s specific experience didn’t cover such passenger details. Yet, many find this defense weak.
This lapse, if genuine, is a major sticking point. It suggests unpreparedness or a cover for a larger issue. Mark’s pilot status amplifies the error, leading to intense speculation about his competence and honesty.
90 Day Fiancé: The Biological Father Enigma
Speculation quickly shifted to Clayton’s biological father. Could an uncooperative parent be the real roadblock? A commenter suggested, “The biological father is probably not signing…afraid Mina will permanently keep him in the US.” This adds a layer of complex family dynamics.
This theory offers an alternative to simple negligence. If a parent withholds consent, the process becomes incredibly difficult. The idea of Mina wanting to permanently relocate Clayton, as suggested, adds another dimension to the conflict.
However, this raises questions about Mark’s plan to adopt Clayton. One fan pointed out, “Mark wouldn’t be able to adopt…if [the father] won’t allow his son to have a passport…[he wouldn’t] terminate my rights no problem.” This highlights a potential contradiction in the father’s stance.
The show reportedly touched on this. A viewer recalled Mark saying, “he’s not the father and he can’t control stuff.” This could allude to difficulties with Clayton’s other parent, fueling theories of custody battles being the true impediment.
90 Day Fiancé: Mina’s Responsibility and Murky Background
Many viewers also hold Mina accountable. Some feel that as Clayton’s mother, she should have overseen his documents. One fan stated, “As a mom, I would never rely on someone else to have my child’s documents in order.”
Criticism extended to Mina’s on-screen behavior. The same fan found fault with Mina “brag[ging] about her first class flying experience” to Clayton during the crisis. Another commenter argued, “Mina was in France… it’s on her that Clayton isn’t in the US.”
Adding to the confusion is the vague information about Mina’s and Clayton’s origins. It was shared online that “Clayton is not French, Mina is not French…Since Clayton is not French there is probably a lot of issues with obtaining Angolan passport for him.”
This was supported by another online comment, mentioning Mina might be from Angola and Clayton not a French citizen. If true, securing an Angolan passport and US visa could be more complex. The show’s vagueness, as one viewer observed about her “super vague…background,” fuels fan speculation.
90 Day Fiancé: Drama for the Cameras or Genuine Blunder?
Many “90 Day Fiancé” viewers suspect the passport issue is manufactured drama. The timing and nature of the oversight raise red flags. One fan theorized, “Clayton isn’t coming and they need a cover story. Or…a dramatic build up.”
This “fabricated drama” theory is popular. The same fan also explained, “children of K-1 visa recipients need their own visa (K-2)…and they can’t get a K-2 visa without a passport. Of course Mark knows this.” The process seems too clear for such an error. It was also noted that the couple’s story changed, from visa timing to lack of knowledge.
One commenter bluntly stated, “Producers need abetter lie to tell us.” This reflects the feeling that the on-screen explanation is weak. The couple’s long relationship also makes the last-minute issue suspect. It was pointed out they had “30+ months” to prepare.
Production’s awareness is also questioned. A viewer observed, “production more than likely books all of that stuff…production also had to know.” This strengthens the argument that the surprise might be staged.
