US back to denying same sex couple visas
After a brief reprieve, U.D. imigration authorities are once again denying applications for immigration benefits for same sex couples following a legal review.
Chris Bentley, a spokesman for the US Citizenship and Immigration Services agency, said Wednesday that after a review by lawyers from the Homeland Security Department, it was concluded that a law prohibiting the government from recognizing same sex marriages must be followed, despite the Obama administration's decision to stop defending the constitutionality of the law in court.
