The Supreme Court has found provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act to be unconstitutional. The case is called United States v. Windsor. You can find the text of the opinion at this link.
The case specifically addresses U.S. estate tax law. However, I believe that it clears the way for immigration benefits for same sex couples. This article from the Washington Times agrees with me.
