US Law Association supports LGBT migration equality

The world’s richest and most powerful lawyers’ group, the American Bar Association, has for the first time adopted a resolution for multinational LGBT rights- so that same sex partners will be able to migrate to the US.

(2) is not married to or in any other legally-recognized partnership with anyone other than that individual; and
(3) is unable to enter into a marriage with that other individual that is cognizable under the Immigration and Nationality Act, to sponsor that individual for permanent residence in the United States.
