Path Cleared for Same-Sex, Binational Couples

From Immigration Equality Action Fund:

Yes.

It’s the answer I’ve been waiting a decade to share. This morning, the Supreme Court ruled (striking down DOMA). Our families, at long last, can qualify for a green card.

This is the moment we’ve been waiting for, and it is finally here.

We know you have many questions: How do we apply for a green card? What documents do we need to have? How long does it take?

Please join me, Immigration Equality’s Legal Director Victoria Neilson, and Binational Couples Attorney, Tom Plummer, for a special, 90-minute conference call tomorrow at Noon ET. We will summarize the Court’s ruling, let you know what it means for your family, and take questions.

To join the call, dial
(800) 868-1837
(404) 920-6440 if you are outside the United States
and use access code 397548#

We’ve ordered extra phone lines to ensure you can all join, and we’ve extended the call to make sure we take as many of your questions as possible.

Our legal team has posted answers to your preliminary questions on our website. You can read those online here. Then, join us tomorrow for more information about what to do next.

This moment is historic. Join us tomorrow as we celebrate this incredible victory and plan for our families’ futures.

Yours in the fight,

Rachel B. Tiven
