SAME SEX MARRIAGE CASES AND SAME SEX PARTNER
CASES ARE NOW A U.S. IMMIGRATION REALITY:
Implementation of the Supreme Court Ruling on the Defense of
Marriage Act (DOMA).
The Supreme Court struck down a key part of the Federal Defense of Marriage
Act (DOMA) last Wednesday and declared that same-sex couples who are
legally married deserve equal rights to the benefits under federal law that go to
all other married couples.
The decision is a landmark win for the gay rights movement. It voids a section of
the law known as DOMA, which was adopted with bipartisan support in
Congress in 1996 to deny all benefits and recognition to same-sex couples.
The following is Statement from Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet
Napolitano:
"After last week's decision by the Supreme Court holding that Section 3 of the
Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional, President Obama directed
federal departments to ensure the decision and its implication for federal
benefits for same-sex legally married couples are implemented swiftly and
smoothly. To that end, effective immediately, I have directed U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) to review immigration visa petitions filed on
behalf of a same-sex spouse in the same manner as those filed on behalf of an
opposite-sex spouse."
