Armando Niedermeier-Rubio, a star of the TLC series "90 Day Fiance: The Other Way," has been denied entry to the United States while his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, receives critical care in an Arizona intensive care unit. Niedermeier-Rubio, who is a citizen of Mexico, is currently in Mexico and is working to secure a spousal visa to enter the U.S. legally. His husband, Kenneth Niedermeier, is a U.S. citizen, and the couple has resided in Mexico since their marriage.
Hannah was reportedly rushed to a hospital in Mexico after experiencing sudden symptoms including facial drooping and loss of strength on one side of her body. Doctors in Mexico suspected a potential brain issue and arranged for her to be airlifted to a hospital in Phoenix, Arizona, for advanced care. Hannah had received her green card in May, which allowed her to travel to the U.S. for medical treatment.
Niedermeier-Rubio attempted to cross the U.S. border with a letter from the hospital but was turned away. He confirmed to Daily Mail that he is still in the process of obtaining the necessary visa.
Kenneth Niedermeier was en route to Arizona to be with Hannah after cutting short a trip to Ohio for his brother-in-law's funeral. Hannah is not alone at the hospital; her grandmother and aunt are reportedly with her. Niedermeier indicated that Hannah’s physical symptoms have improved significantly, approximately 90 percent, although the cause of bleeding in her brain, which was identified in scans, is still under investigation.
Armando Niedermeier-Rubio and Kenneth Niedermeier have been featured on "90 Day Fiance: The Other Way" for three seasons, documenting their relationship as the first same-sex male couple on the series. They married on May 22, 2021, in Mexico. A GoFundMe has been established by a supporter of the family to assist with mounting medical expenses.
