SANTA ANA, Calif. -- A lesbian couple filed a federal lawsuit in California on Thursday seeking to solve their immigration woes and put a stop to the deportation of same-sex spouses.
The suit - which seeks class-action status - was filed on behalf of Philippines citizen Jane DeLeon, who was sponsored for a green card by her employer but can't get a waiver she needs to obtain residency here because the U.S. government doesn't recognize her three-year marriage to her American spouse.
The case is one of a number of challenges brought by same-sex couples - some of them facing immigration troubles - over the federal Defense of Marriage Act, a 1996 law that prohibits the U.S. government from recognizing same-sex marriages.

After US approves the law on same sex marriage most of the same sex couples (gay & lesbian) are found married but to stay with each other they simply passed the rights of migration.
If you’re same sex partner would be from another country he or she will pass through the process of migrants before marriage, as here in the above post we can also found how peoples are getting married to get green cards.
