CFO and homosexuals

[∞♥ 17]

After all the stress of getting my wife to me, here's something I was thinking about recently...

What are the chances of the CFO "forbidding" someone who is homosexual to depart to be with their loved one?

Would the CFO discriminate just because the male or female is homosexual?

Are you thinking of petitioning a man later on?

Scary thoughts when you are just done petitioning your wife.

In case you missed the topic description under the title, it said "random thought." No, I'm not going to petition a man.

We are all human and I am curious if the people at the CFO feel that they have the last say on anyone's relationship, especially if it is against their ideas of what is "right." And wondering if anyone has ever heard of this.

I am always thinking...and I'm not trying to be mean/nasty by saying this, but maybe you should give it a try sometime.

TO ALL WHO READ....If you have nothing valid to offer in this conversation, then please don't post.

I dunno what are you trying to ask but...

K1 or CR1 isn't allowing homosexual relationships.

Philippines, though still legally conservative- people are already used to it.

If your wife wants to petition a homosexual brother or sister later on (which takes forever), then that could work or her relative wants to work abroad, that's fine. No discrimination. Just be extra careful on the destination countries like Middle East because they do not tolerate that.

They would indeed.

I remember reading not so long ago here, about a gay couple, one American, one Canadian, who were asking this very question. At the time, the consensus was that petitioning for a same gender partner was not possible, under the guidelines as they are at present.

CFO covers other countries besides USA, right?

So if was legal, at that country's federal level for 'same sex union' then I think the scrutiny would be different on a 'couple' than a relative headed to USA.

but if a relative headed to the USA, will CFO really care?

What I am wondering is this:

If a homosexual man or woman (say, in the US) found a homosexual man or woman in the Philippines and wanted to bring them to the US to marry, would the CFO forbid that Filipino man or woman to leave the country because they are homosexual?

This is purely a hypothetical question...based on thought and knowing how much $*!t heterosexuals have to deal with in order to get the one they love to them.

I think the only problem they have in CFO seminar is which bathroom to go. Seriously. That's a CFO for work abroad. Not for marriage CFO.

They won't even reach that part. Both US and the Philippines are not allowing such relationship for petition.

Ok, Thanks.

Seems odd the US won't "allow" such a relationship.

It seems now to see same sex couples...but unless US will change their policy allowing Americans to petition their homosexual partner, yeah why not? They can't get married here and use CR-1 for sure.

It's a relatively new development. Before 1996 the federal government had absolutely no concept of what marriage was, other than one of the states said you were married. I was living in Colorado at the time and was common law married to a USC. Other than my immigration atty hanging his head it was a perfectly valid marriage for immigration purposes. (This was the joker in my back pocket because I was going the H-1B -> I-485 route).

Unfortunately (or fortunately for some) Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) defined marriage as being between a man and a woman, so for the first time the federal government had an idea of what marriage was.

That said, given the justice dept's recent statement that they wouldn't defend DOMA because they considered it to be unconstitutional (something about the pursuit of happiness bit) it may be gone in a few years (I'd expect 10+ years)

The trouble here is that I work with a gay man who's been in a committed long distance relationship for 10 years. His relationship has lasted longer than my first marriage did.

Enjoy

Just another wild thought, my brother got a feminine name (Juvenille) and his sex is was mistakenly put "female" on the Birth certificate. He is gay but he doesn't dress like a woman. I am wondering that if he dresses like a woman, find an american guy who's willing to petition him, will this fly- K-1? Maybe on the medical exam so he has to change his sex in Thailand...

Hahahaha... you do have a wild thought though but anyway, here's a legal answer for that... US immigration is a benefit that is federally mandated... so even if same sex marriage is legal in Certain states in US , It's not recognized on a federal level, so, It wont come to a point that it will reach the CFO thing. It will be denied, the minute it reaches USCIS when the petition is filed.. So I dont think anyone here has any idea nor experieince on that..
