g*y couples and american visas for fiance/spouse?

Question

Now that g*y marriages are legally allowed in some parts of the united states, can g*y couples use the k-1 visa (fiance visa) or the one to bring your spouse into the country if the marriage is same s*x?

If you have any links or anything that would be great. Also, I know that before it wasn't allowed, however I'm wondering if that's changed now.

Answer 1

No, it has not changed.  It is still not allowed.

Answer 2

No, DOMA forbids the federal government from recognizing a g*y relationship as equal to a marriage. It doesn't matter where it might be legal.

There is a bill going through congress supporting a change in the law to rectify this.

Answer 3

Nope, it's not allowed.

While individual states have the authority to permit same-s*x marriage within their state borders, immigration law falls under federal law; therefore, until federal law recognizes same-s*x marriage, immigration law will not permit same-s*x partners to apply for spousal visas.

Answer 4

g*y marriage is allowed in CA. it is not a federal issue. you can't have a same-s*x spouse application.

please be aware that if prop. 8 passes in November, there won't be g*y marriage in CA either.

Answer 5

No. The USCIS does NOT recognize same s*x marriages.
