Immigration for Same Sex (LGBT) Married Couples
Looking for a US immigration lawyer in London?
Following the landmark US Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Windsor (2013), a US citizen in a same-sex marriage to a foreign national can file an immigrant visa petition for his or her spouse in the same manner as US citizens in heterosexual marriages. Since the end of DOMA, the U.S. government has been fully recognising same-sex marriages at the federal level. This gives same-sex binational couples an opportunity to start a life in the USA.
Many same sex couples comprising a US citizen and a UK or other foreign citizen currently live in the United Kingdom. Lovely as though the UK is, many made the move to the UK not out of choice but out of necessity during the period when the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was in effect and the US citizen spouse was unable to file an immigrant visa petition for his or her same-sex spouse. If you are a gay or lesbian spouse who is facing immigration issues moving your family into the United States, then speak to a US immigration attorney at the London firm today.
