Good news to dreamers in same-sex relationships. USCIS will not deny an I-130 petition of your same-sex partner until final decision on Defense of Marriage Act is reached. An I-130 petition usually allows the benificiary means to apply for social security, a temporary lawful immigration status, and work authorization. If you're a dreamer in a same-sex relationship with a USC, this might be worth checking out.

Scratch what I said....nothing has changed !!!!!!

But on Tuesday, Mr. Bentley issued a new statement, saying that Citizenship and Immigration Services “has not implemented any change in policy and intends to follow the president’s directive to continue enforcing the law.”

Mr. Bentley said the agency’s field offices had suspended cases for a short period, perhaps a week or two, while lawyers clarified a “narrow legal issue” concerning the marriage act. He said the agency would probably resume action on same-sex marriage cases in coming days and would continue to deny immigration status to foreigners based on those marriages.

Immigration lawyers tried on Tuesday to sort out the meaning of the events.

“We have to be very cautious,” said Lavi S. Soloway, a lawyer who represents Mr. Velandia and Mr. Vandiver. He said gay couples should continue to understand that “if they file for immigration status, they may be putting themselves at considerable risk of deportation.”
