Updated on October 24, 2013: "We are pleased to announce that our very own Attorney Mark Harley was informed today by the USCIS office that he attended Pittsburgh's first lawful permanent residency interview based on DOMA. Congrats to the newly approved couple #YourImmigrationPartner" The 5-4 majority decision of the Supreme Court overturning the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA looks to have major impact on immigration law, with many changes on the horizon. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enacted September 21, 1996 was a United States Federal Law that allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed under the laws of other states.
As of July 2013, there are thirteen states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) that permit same-sex marriage. According to the last census, there are approximately 36,000 bi-national same-sex couples living in the United States. The decision made by the Supreme Court does not guarantee a right to same-sex marriage, but it allows same-sex couples who live in the states that allow same-sex marriage to receive the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples. USCIS announced an update to the Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver process beginning March 4, 2013. See their link (http://www.uscis.gov/provisionalwaiver) for information on Eligibility Requirements and Reasons Your Waiver May Be Revoked.
The aim of this new program is to avoid having immigrant visa applicants who are spouses and sons and daughters of U.S. citizens be separated from their families for months or even years while their waivers are pending. Now, these family members will obtain their waivers before departing the U.S., will be interviewed abroad, and will then return to their families in the U.S. within a shorter period of time. While a step in the right direction, navigating through the eligibility requirements, understanding the DOs and DONTs, and completing the application (Form I-601A along with supporting documentation and evidence) still remains fairly complex. If you would like more information on this process, please reach out to us. We would be happy to be #YourImmigrationPartner. Law Offices of Kristen A. Schneck, LLC is hiring!
