Immigration Benefits For Same Sex Couples

July 2, 2013 by Thomas Geygan

STATEMENT BY SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY JANET NAPOLITANO ON THE SUPREME COURT RULING ON THE DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT
“I applaud today’s Supreme Court decision in United States v. Windsor holding that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional. This discriminatory law denied thousands of legally married same-sex couples many important federal benefits, including immigration benefits.
I am pleased the Court agreed with the Administration’s position that DOMA’s restrictions violate the Constitution. Working with our federal partners, including the Department of Justice, we will implement today’s  decision so that all married couples will be treated equally and fairly in the administration of our immigration laws.”

Immigration is a very specialized area of law; be sure your attorney focuses his or her practice on immigration and helping people like you.  We focus our practice on immigration law and helping people visit, live in, go to school, and work in the United States.  We especially love bringing families together and helping foreign nationals start a new life, even become U.S. citizens.  You can reach us at 513-793-6555 or Thomasjr@geygan.com.  Your next step is to contact us.
