Same-Sex Couples Now Eligible for Immigration Benefits
A U.S. Supreme Court decision makes same-sex couples eligible for the same immigration benefits as heterosexual couples. The decision, issued on June 26, 2013, struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The USCIS and Dept. of State immediately began making the necessary changes to implement this. Petitions for permanent residence, fiancée visas, and temporary visas such as H, J, F and O (and more) will be able to be filed on behalf of same-sex couples as long as the marriage occured in a place that recognized same-sex marriage at the time it was celebrated. Contact Amanda Thompson in Fermilab's Visa Office if you have questions. All discussions will be confidential.
