"OLGA'S VISA APPROVED TODAY, DECEMBER 24th, 2018," Steven wrote in an Instagram posting. "No words can describe how happy I am. My birthday is the 26th so its the best birthday present for me."
"Please pinch me because I still don't understand what just happened and still don't believe it," Olga wrote in an Instagram posting of her own.
After using a K-1 visa to bring their international partner to America, an American is required to marry their overseas fiance within 90 days or have the partner return to their home country.
Steven, a 20-year-old from Bowie, MD, met Olga, a 20-year-old from Russia, on the beach while she was visiting America for the summer, and after only a month-and-a-half of dating, the couple discovered Olga was pregnant.
The news came as a total shock to Steven since they only had unprotected sex one time, and he called it "a holy sh-t moment."
Olga returned to Russia about a week after learning she was pregnant, but Steven proposed they get married and have her return to America on a K-1 visa.
Steven told Olga he applied for her K-1 visa shortly after she returned to Russia but the visa application had been delayed, leaving her stuck overseas for the birth of their son, Richie Aleksandr Frend, on April 19.

However, as 90 Day Fiance viewers saw Steven admit to Olga on the show's December 23 episode, Steven had been lying and he didn't apply for the visa until after traveling to Russia to be with Olga for Richie's birth.
"I didn't apply for the K-1 visa when I told her I did. I applied for the K-1 visa when I got to Russia, and I did not tell her about it," Steven explained during 90 Day Fiance's December 23 episode.

After repeatedly telling Olga they wouldn't be able to return to America together because her visa had gotten delayed, Steven finally told Olga the truth as he was nearing the end of his time in Russia.
"It's a little difficult to say, but like, before I came here, when I said I had applied for the visa... I didn't apply for it then," Steven told Olga. "Like, if I would have applied for it then, like you would have been over a month ago."
"The reason I didn't apply for it -- I can't say anything, I didn't -- but I did now, and it is getting processed. I know it was very wrong of me. But I feel I should be honest with you about that."
"I just didn't know exactly what was going on with us because we got pregnant, and then we just decided 'K-1 visa.' And to me, I was like, well we didn't even get a chance to speak about it yet. So in my mind, I just wanted to hold off a little bit until I got to know like you a little bit more."

Olga had taken Steven's news surprisingly well.
"Yeah, you needed to be honest with me the fist time because when I ask you about visa you told me, 'Yes, Olga I did it,'" she told him. "So I was like waiting, waiting, waiting."
However, Olga said while she was upset she understood.
