To be legally married..

Most cases true. So you don't have to live in the state in which you are going to get married then?

For Delaware their are no residency requirements,but the new law doesn't take effect until July 1 2013... U also have to look at the divorce procedures for those states that allow same sex marriages,for some states u have to be a resident for 2 yrs before u can legally be granted a divorce..for us it's still not the same for divorce process..

Unfortunely for those that EWI it will not be the case,they will have to return to their country of origin :cry:

For my fellow gay dreamers..we have won our dream!!

Re: DOMA Struck Down

If you entered without inspection (EWI) than you can apply for a waiver. You will still have to leave the US and reentry legally, but your application will be processed while in the US and you will know the result of your application before you leave.

I'm working on my green card application right now, luckily I did enter thru the visa waiver program so I can adjust. Some application are already being approved as they have been pending at USCIS for some time.
