Michael Ilesanmi and Angela Deem have faced many hurdles trying to bring Michael to America. They first applied for a fiancé visa but were denied. After getting married in Nigeria, they applied for a spousal visa. Delays from a backlog of applications and the global pandemic extended their wait.
Eventually, Michael had his visa interview, but the embassy needed more time to review his case. During this period, Angela and Michael continued to fight, with Angela even threatening to pull the visa.
90 Day Fiance: Angela Deem Threatens to Pull Visa
Angela Deem discovered Michael Ilesanmi was an admin for a group chat with Nigerian men discussing American women. She feared he was using her to get to America. Other concerning messages made her reconsider his visa.
When Angela confronted Michael, he explained the group chat was a support network for men in the visa process. He felt isolated and depressed. Understanding his perspective, Angela decided not to cancel the visa.

90 Day Fiance: Michael Ilesanmi Makes It to America
Shortly after Angela’s decision, Michael Ilesanmi’s spousal visa was approved. The couple quickly arranged for him to travel to America. Michael, thrilled to be on American soil, donned a jacket with an eagle and American flag. Angela insisted he show his patriotism, remarking, “You look great in the jacket.”
Michael reflected on their journey, grateful for Angela’s patience. He said, “She said she wouldn’t leave me until I got my visa.” Their visa was approved just two weeks after the administrative process began.

90 Day Fiance’s Michael Ilesanmi Reveals Major Relationship Update
In a preview for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, Michael is emotional as he confirms his relationship status with Angela. They are no longer together. Michael’s arrival in America marked the end of their years-long struggle.
Angela greeted him with open arms at the airport, celebrating his arrival with shouts of “U.S.A.” Michael, overwhelmed with joy, denied crying happy tears. Angela presented him with the jacket, emphasizing his new identity as a “Nigerian-American.”
90 Day Fiance: Michael’s Life in America
Michael arrived in America in December 2023, with Christmas decorations at the airport marking the timeline. However, by February 2024, Michael had left Angela’s home. The Tell All episode was filmed before Michael’s disappearance, so this drama won’t be part of the current season.
Despite Angela’s claims of not returning to the franchise, fans are eager to see more of Michael. Now living in Texas, Michael enjoys newfound freedom, managing his own Cameo account and Instagram profile. This new chapter of his life promises more adventures, independent of Angela’s influence.
