Blumenthal asks Sec. Napolitano About Same-Sex Couples Seeking a Spouse-Sponsored Visa
Kelli and Lucy, a couple who was married in Connecticut and has been seeking a spouse-sponsored visa for Lucy, a British national. Due to the Defense of Marriage Act their application for a visa for Lucy was denied on the basis that they are a same-sex couple. They were forced to make the heartbreaking choice of being separated or leaving their home. Senator Blumenthal has fought to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and advocated for legislation such as the Uniting American Families Act, which would give same-sex couples the ability to sponsor their foreign-born spouses for permanent residency.
