Before late June 2013, gay and lesbian individuals in the United States who had a partner in another country were unable to petition for their loved one to come and join him or her in the United States. This was due to a discriminatory law, the Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”). Fortunately, DOMA was struck down by the Supreme Court in June 2013, the result being that if you are in a same-sex relationship and your loved one lives outside the United States, one option for bringing him or her to the United States is through a K-1 fiancé(e) visa.
