The U.S. immigration system can present complications for anyone, but for members of the LGBTQ+ community, it often comes with unique challenges and fears. At the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel PLLC, we believe that everyone deserves to pursue their American dream with dignity. Our firm provides a safe, judgment-free space where you can be your authentic self while we fight for your legal rights through various immigration pathways.
Since the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, same-sex couples have the same right to petition for marriage-based green cards as opposite-sex couples, as long as the marriage was performed in a country that recognizes same-sex marriage. If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, you can sponsor your foreign national spouse for permanent residency.
However, the process can still feel intimidating. You may fear bias or uncomfortable questions during your interview. Our team is experienced in preparing strong, documented petitions that prove your marriage is based on love and a genuine desire to build a life together, not just an arrangement for immigration benefits. We guide you through gathering evidence and prepare you thoroughly for your interview, helping you feel supported and confident every step of the way.
For many LGBTQ+ individuals, returning to their home country is not an option due to the threat of violence, imprisonment, or severe discrimination. U.S. law allows individuals to seek asylum if they have a well-founded fear of persecution based on membership in a particular social group, which can include sexual orientation and gender identity.
We recognize that sharing your story can be traumatic and deeply personal. We approach asylum claims with the utmost sensitivity and care. Our goal is to help you articulate your experiences clearly and compassionately, building a compelling case that highlights why you deserve safety and protection in the United States.
Domestic violence can affect any relationship, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) provides a pathway for victims of abuse to “self-petition” for a green card without involving their abusive spouse.
Despite the name, VAWA protections apply equally to men, women, and non-binary individuals, as well as those in same-sex marriages. If you are being abused by a U.S. citizen or green card holder spouse, you do not have to remain in that relationship to keep your immigration status. We can help you file a confidential petition in pursuit of your independence and safety.
Facing removal (deportation) proceedings is terrifying, especially if you fear returning to a country where LGBTQ+ individuals are targeted. If you are in removal proceedings, we can help you explore various forms of relief, including:
Though there may seem to be many immigration hurdles for the LGBTQ+ community, you do not have to face them alone. Whether you are uniting with a loved one or seeking a safe haven, the Law Office of Marron Gebremeskel PLLC is here to guide you. We are committed to providing you with the understanding, human-centered representation you deserve.
