On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down
section 3 of DOMA, which defined marriage between and man and a woman for the
purpose of obtaining federal benefits.
Since then, things have been changing rapidly for same sex couples
seeking immigration benefits. USCIS has
already granted permanent residency to some same sex spouses of U.S. citizens
and has stated that it would look into reopening cases that were denied in the
past.
Joseph Law Firm is experiencing a surge in new cases for clients seeking post-DOMA immigration benefits and seeing action taken on cases that have already been filed. In addition to their expertise in many types of immigration cases, the attorneys at Joseph Law Firm have experience in handling cases for individuals in the GLBT community. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to determine whether you are eligible for immigration benefits given these recent developments. We strongly encourage couples to file for benefits if they are eligible.
