Immigration Equality's Business Coalition for UAFA Fighting for Foreign National LGBT Individuals Looking to Work in U.S.
With so much business being done across international borders these days, the equal treatment of LGBT individuals and families in the U.S. immigration system becomes even more of a necessity.
Current U.S. immigration policy not only affects U.S. LGBT citizens who are unable to bring their foreign national partners into the country, but it also prevents LGBT foreign nationals looking to work in the Unites States from being "sponsored" by their partners in order to stay in the country legally—a right granted to straight spouses under current immigration policy.
With the leadership and advocacy of Immigration Equality—the leading national organization fighting for equality under U.S. immigration law for LGBT and HIV-positive individuals working to win congressional support for a reform of U.S. immigration statutes—the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) has been introduced in both houses of Congress.
