Being in a committed and co-habitating relationship with the person I love will soon turn out to be a real test of endurance when immigration officials start to meddle, because I do not have the right to sponsor my partner.

My partner was petitioned by her mother under the “family reunification” category of US immigration law but because her mother passed away before the issuance of the green card, the petition died along with the petitioner.

Now I am told the mother was “family” and I am not, that there is no way that I can petition her because we are not “straight” fiancés or married! Worst of all my partner has been advised by many people to marry a man for immigration benefits! We do not have the intention for such a deception!

My life partner will be forced to return to her homeland since there is no other hope.

BUT WHAT DO I DO?? IT’S BAD ENOUGH THAT WE CANNOT MARRY BUT I AM AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO DESERVES THE RIGHT TO BE IN AMERICA WITH THE PERSON I LOVE, WHO IN THE EYES OF GOD IS MY ONLY FAMILY.
