What Does This Mean For Immigration Purposes?
With this ruling, Gafner Law Firm is confident that the immigration agency will soon begin accepting and approving the immigration benefits for same-sex couples. However, the firm cautions that it may take a little bit of time for the immigration agency to work out the logistics of the process.
What Can Same-Sex Couple’s Do Now To Obtain Immigration Benefits?
- Obtaining Proof That the Couple Is Legal Married,
- Obtaining Evidence of their good faith relationship,
- Preparing the Required Documents To Demonstrate Compliance With the Affidavit of Support Requirements, and
- Contacting an Immigration Lawyer Who Focuses on Same-Sex Marriage Visas.
The immigration agency has always been paranoid about whether a marriage is a good-faith marriage – and the firm believes that the immigration agency may be extra vigilant in same-sex marriages. Therefore, the firm suggests speaking to an immigration lawyer to ensure that a couple is adequately prepared to file. Please contact the Firm if you would like to speak to a New York attorney about the possible options available to Same-Sex Married Couples.
