WASHINGTON — A married gay couple in Florida received notice on Friday afternoon that they no longer face being separated because one of them is not a U.S. citizen. Julian March and Traian Povov’s green card approval is the first such approval ever has been granted in the United States.
The DOMA Project, whose lawyers represent the couple, announced the news Saturday morning, calling it “the first time in U.S. history a marriage-based green card petition filed by a gay couple has been approved.”“As a gay immigrant and as an immigration attorney and gay rights activist who has worked on this issue for 20 years, this is a moment of particular personal satisfaction, Lavi Soloway, the couple’s lawyer and a founder of The DOMA Project, told BuzzFeed on Saturday.
i would like to hear the republicans say why they denied these people the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, without some quoting a Bible verse they don't believe anyway, you don't be a little christian you either are or not all inclusive not just the christian traits you choose to support and have usurped the meaning to accommodate their interpretation of what it means.
Although such green card petitions had previously been denied, the Obama administration had been avoiding ruling on such requests as the challenges to section 3 of DOMA made their way through the courts.But, following Wednesday’s Supreme Court ruling striking down section 3 of DOMA as unconstitutional, The DOMA Project announced Saturday that Marsh’s green card petition for his husband was approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) late Friday afternoon.“The approval of this petition demonstrates that the Obama administration’s commitment to recognizing same-sex couples’ marriages after the Supreme Court ruling is now a reality on the ground.
