Same-Sex Marriages and Immigration Benefits
Countless same-sex couples have been forced to live outside of the U.S., or separately from their partners, due to the Defense of Marriage Act’s denial of federal immigration benefits to same-sex couples. Thankfully, with the striking down of this oppressive law by the Supreme Court of the United States on June 26, 2013, gay and lesbian partners of U.S. citizens and permanent residents may now be sponsored for green cards in order to live in the U.S. permanently with their partners.
U.S. citizens and Permanent Residents are now able to sponsor their same-sex partners. Gay and lesbian citizens may file petitions to obtain visas for their fiances living overseas, and individuals already in the US may adjust their status to obtain permanent residency based on their marriage to a US citizen or permanent resident.
