Same-Sex Spouses Now Eligible for Green Card

Last Wednesday, June 26, 2013, the  U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act DOMA) was a great victory for same-sex couples. With the end of DOMA, a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident can immediately  petition their same-sex spouse for permanent residence.
A couple needs only to be legally married in a U.S. state or a foreign country for immigration spouse rules to apply.
