Armando Niedermeier-Rubio, a participant in the reality television show “90 Day Fiancé,” has had his humanitarian visa extended for 30 days, allowing him to stay in Arizona with his hospitalized daughter, Hannah.
Niedermeier-Rubio announced the visa extension on Instagram on Sunday, stating, “Approved ✅.” He expressed gratitude for the extension, which permits him to remain by Hannah’s side during her ongoing medical treatment and recovery, alongside his husband, Kenny Niedermeier.
He extended his appreciation to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for its compassionate review of his case and for treating him with kindness. He also thanked Representative Adelita Grijalva for her advocacy and his immigration attorney for their tireless efforts.
“To every single one of you who have prayed for @hannah_rubio, shared our story, sent encouraging messages, and supported our family,” Niedermeier-Rubio wrote, “Your love has carried us through the hardest days of our lives. This approval to remain at my daughter’s side is one more answered prayer, thank you.”
The situation arose earlier this month when Hannah, 13, was hospitalized in Arizona for a brain bleed. Initially transferred from Mexico to a medical facility and then airlifted to a Phoenix ICU, she experienced worsening symptoms, including partial blindness, facial drooping, and weakness.
During Hannah’s initial transfer, Niedermeier-Rubio was reportedly turned away at the border when he attempted to obtain a temporary humanitarian visa. He was informed by a CBP supervisor that such visas had not been granted since 2025.
While his attorney pursued a separate emergency request, Kenny Niedermeier remained with Hannah. Niedermeier-Rubio described the separation as the hardest experience of his life, stating, “Every parent wants to be at their child’s bedside when they’re sick, and not being able to hold her hand or comfort her has been the hardest thing I’ve ever experienced. I am doing everything within my power to be reunited with her.”
He was reunited with his family on July 18 after being granted an emergency humanitarian visa. Two days later, he announced Hannah’s release from the hospital, but she was subsequently readmitted due to a relapse.
Despite the setbacks, Hannah is reportedly in good spirits. She is receiving preventative medication for brain swelling and seizures. Doctors are continuing to run tests and scans to determine the next steps in her treatment.
