and that only those who'd registered a civil union should be allowed to petition to bring their partner to the US as an immediate family member.

:thumbs: In the UK civil partnerships are only for same-sex couples. My OH really doesn't like all of the bumph that comes along with a lot of cultural perceptions of what a 'married couple' is supposed to be. He saw the civil partnership stuff and wanted to do that. I had to explain that we weren't allowed to. :lol:

I think the crux of my view on the matter is, there should be one process that should be open to everyone; and you should have to go through that process before you get any of the legal rights currently associated with marriage.

What that process is called, I couldn't care less about.

Nothing like bumping a year-old thread and replying with a one word answer. It's moments like this that I love VJ. (L)

really?

Ah, but then you follow your singleton with a smiley, which is another pattern altogether. :)
