90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Faith Tudoc wanted to move to the U.S. on a K-1 visa after getting told she couldn’t marry Loren Allen in Thailand. Faith is a 30-year-old ladyboy from the Philippines currently starring in season 7 of the spin-off. Faith and 34-year-old Loren met on a dating app six months before they began filming. Loren had kept quite a few secrets from Faith, such as his interest in polygamy and his lack of funds.
Loren was homeless in America. He has been accused of not paying child support. Faith didn’t see it as a red flag. She did split with him after he let her down by revealing his infidelity towards her. After a brief period of being “friends,” Faith accepted Loren as her boyfriend again. Loren, who wanted to leave his life in America behind for good, thought of this as an opportunity to never leave the Philippines. Loren decided to get married to Faith immediately and secure his future in her country.

Faith Fell For Loren’s Magic Tricks
Faith did break up with Loren after his confession about having gonorrhea from keeping multiple partners in their relationship. However, Faith was quick to accept Loren’s proposal when he presented her with a ring by performing a magic trick. She seemed to have forgotten about his infidelities and the fact that he was homeless and broke back in the U.S. Faith declared that she wanted to keep her love with Loren “forever.” She perhaps was worried that she’d never find someone who accepted her as a ladyboy if she let go of her first boyfriend.
Loren’s Plan To Marry Faith In Thailand Didn’t Work Out
The Philippines Didn’t Recognize Gay Marriage
Loren and Faith couldn’t marry in the Philippines because the country does not legally recognize same-sex unions. Loren even came up with the idea that he could marry Faith’s mother so he could continue living in the Philippines. Since that was out of the question, Loren and Faith went to see an immigration lawyer in episode 17 to find out the best way for Loren to stay in the Philippines with Faith forever. They thought they could go get married in Thailand. However, the lawyer informed them, “There is currently no law in Thailand that allows the same sex marriage.”

The lawyer informed Loren that they could find other jurisdictions where gay marriage is legal, and Faith didn’t need a visa to get to. They mentioned Taiwan but added that the spousal visa they could acquire from Taiwan would be recognized in the U.S. and not in the Philippines. Faith admitted to the cameras, “I know this isn’t what Lauren wanted to hear, but I’ve always considered living in America.” She thought about the opportunities she could get there which she could use to help her family. The best visa for the couple would have been the K-1 visa.

Did Loren Get Faith A K-1 Visa?
Loren didn’t have any money. He didn’t want to go back to the U.S. He didn’t tell Faith that he could never be able to afford the K-1 visa and sponsor Faith. As of December 2024, Loren still appears to be living in Las Vegas and Faith has been posting content from the Philippines on her social media. The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days couple’s current relationship status isn’t clear either. However, it would be interesting to see if Loren is somehow able to raise money through fundraisers to get Faith to America if they are still together.
