Confirmed: Same Sex Couples May Obtain Immigration Benefits

The New York Times is reporting that the first green card to a same sex couple was issued on Friday, June 28, 2013.  Julian Marsh, a U.S. citizen from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, married Traian Popov, who is from Bulgaria and applied for a green card.  Mr. Popov received word that his green card was approved by email, an unusual move which signifies the desire of the Obama Administration to move quickly to come in compliance withe the Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Windsor.

If you are a same sex couple looking to apply for immigration benefits, call me at (703) 837-8832 for an appointment.

    This is quite a unprecedented move. This is bound to have some real impact on immigration according to Canadian immigration services.
