After announcing the passing of his mother, David Dangerfield from 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days has shared some more bad news, this time concerning his relationship with Sheila Mangubat. The couple was last seen in 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 6, where David traveled to The Philippines to meet Sheila, who also has hearing disabilities like him. During the season, the couple became engaged, and Sheila’s young son, Jhonreil, agreed to move to the United States to live with David. However, David revealed devastating news to Sheila during the Tell All about their K-1 visa.

David revealed that he had applied for Sheila’s K-1 visa, but it would take at least two years to be approved, not the three or four months Sheila had hoped for. The couple agreed to stay together, with David promising Sheila that he would keep visiting her in The Philippines.

Recently, David shared a picture of himself hanging out with his friends, seemingly coping well after his mother’s death. Fans were happy for David, and one Instagram user, @tammy.im.lovinlife, asked when Sheila could join him in the United States. David replied to the comment, revealing heartbreaking news. He responded, “I have to wait.”

What Does David & Sheila’s Visa Delay Mean?

David & Sheila Are Likely Overwhelmed By Their Communication Issues

David and Sheila’s relationship may be in jeopardy as they spend more time apart. Their reliance on messaging to communicate and Sheila’s trust issues could further complicate their long-distance relationship. Recently, the couple has also stopped sharing many romantic pictures together on social media, suggesting they have hit a rough patch in their relationship. It’s possible that either one or both of them are considering ending the relationship to address these issues and move forward. Due to the long wait, the 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days couple may consider withdrawing their K-1 visa application.

During 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 6, Sheila struggled with trust issues with David. She became jealous when David’s interpreter, Aimee, joined them on their romantic dates. Sheila felt insecure when David could communicate with Aimee in sign language, and she couldn’t. However, Sheila was self-aware of her insecurities and promised to work on improving her sign language skills. Throughout the season, she was seen communicating better in sign language, although still not perfectly. It’s possible that Sheila’s inability to communicate with David became a hurdle in their long-distance relationship.
