Hello everyone,
Breaking news across the internet this afternoon is that bi-national couples have already started receiving the official notifications from the immigration services that their green card applications have been approved!
This is quite remarkable since Section 3 of DOMA was only thrown out on Wednesday!
I doubt these are new applications, since that would be way too quick - these are probably ones put on hold that were filed by people before DOMA was thrown out.
It had been in the news that pending the outcome of DOMA, applications were being held, instead of being denied.
Honestly, it is amazing for those folks that this is now happening, but I would not have taken the risk of a visa denial in the event of an unfavourable DOMA ruling.
It's bad enough that Jon and I are in the present situation, let alone being banned from entering the US or something because of a bad visa application!
We've gone through too much to experience that!
So although now a happy result, those people were taking a huge risk!
Just my thoughts.
Dan.
