The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and Immigration

The Defense of Marriage Act, commonly known as DOMA, was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013. As a result, many federal laws that once applied to only heterosexual couples now equally apply to same-sex couples.

In the area of immigration, this means that same-sex couples are able to apply for fiancé(e) and spouse visas and take advantage of other rights under immigration law. Additionally, as of June 2015, same-sex marriage is legal throughout the United States. Couples married anywhere across the nation are now eligible for immigration benefits.

The law is constantly changing and evolving. One immigration challenge that many same-sex couples can face is obtaining sufficient documentation of their relationship, particularly for fiancé(e)s.
