Jenny Slatten’s daughter Christina is giving fans an update on stepdad Sumit Singh’s visa application process amid the 90 Day Fiancé star’s public ALS battle.
“I wanted to let you guys know that we have started the visa process for Sumit to come to the U.S. [and] to bring my mom so she can come here and get more treatment using her insurance,” Christina said in an Instagram video uploaded on Wednesday, July 22. “Because the doctors have told her she cannot travel alone because it’s such a long flight.”
Earlier this year, Jenny revealed she was diagnosed with ALS after experiencing symptoms for more than a year. Since receiving her diagnosis in May, Sumit has become Jenny’s “full-time caregiver” on top of being her husband.
Christina added that they decided to have Sumit apply for an “emergency tourist spousal visa” rather than a green card given her mom’s health.
“We have applied for an emergency tourist spousal visa, not for a green card. Only for a tourist visa. It’s a lot longer of a process to try to get a green card, especially right now,” she said, referring to the United States’ current immigration process. “They’re not making it easy for anyone. So we’re going the tourist route.”
Christina explained that she spoke to her senator’s office who told her that the visa process could “take some time” if Sumit is allowed to proceed.
“So we’ve started it and we’re waiting for the Indian consulate to give Sumit his appointment,” she said. “As of right now we’re still waiting on the appointment and there has been no update when that will happen.”
Christina also shared that her mother’s doctor provided a note “stating her diagnosis and that she cannot travel alone from here on out to come back to the United States.”
“We are working on it and we’re gonna try our damndest to get Sumit here with my mom. So stay tuned,” she said.
As Sumit awaits to hear from the consulate, Christina asked fans for their “positive” thoughts as they await next steps.
“Please keep this process in your prayers. Put it out into the universe,” she shared. “Send good juju, there is absolutely no guarantees that he will get approved. But we’ve done everything asked.”
Fans were introduced to Jenny and Sumit when they first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way in 2019. The couple currently live in India and are starring in the new season of 90 Day: The Last Resort, which premiered on TLC back in June.
