However, the 90 Day Fiance reality star felt she had made a mistake. So, she took a trip to America to surprise Geoffrey Paschel. Yet, he was with a former lover of his. And that caught her off guard.
In the end, Geoffrey gave Varya another chance. The TLC couple got engaged again. She has been living in America. But legal troubles have been keeping the two apart.
Varya Supports Geoffrey during Jail Time
Geoffrey got into trouble with the law. He was charged with interference with an emergency call, domestic violence, and aggravated kidnapping. His case went to trial. It took the jury less than two hours to rule that he was guilty on all three counts. He was then sentenced to serve 18 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
Throughout the trial, Varya stuck by the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days cast member’s side. She even continues to support him even though he is spending almost two decades behind bars. However, they didn’t wed before his jail time. So, she couldn’t stay in the country once her visa expired.
Varya’s time in America has not been easy. Back in 2020, she came to the country to celebrate Christmas with Geoffrey. However, they both got sick. She also had to visit the emergency room three times. She says it was an “absolute disaster.”
However, the TLC star’s visa was about to expire. She didn’t want to return to Russia. But she also didn’t want to break any law and go against the immigration policy. So, she applied for the Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery. The lottery is also known as the green card lottery. It gives lucky winners a Permanent Resident Card in the United States.
90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days Celeb Wins Big
Varya Malina didn’t have to marry Geoffrey Paschel to stay in the country. She won the DV lottery. She knew that the chances of winning were slim. So, she was surprised and shocked when she found out about her green card win.
The 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days cast member didn’t even know that she won. She had forgotten to check her results because she was so busy dealing with other problems.
Varya believes that “life is truly a miracle.” She feels that it “drags you through high and low” times. Yet, she thinks life also challenges you in order to “cherish its gifts.” But does she still plan on marrying Geoffrey?
