We are a same sex couple since 2012 and being petitioned by her, last Feb. 2015. By God's grace, I was lucky and I was approved until my interview last June 2015. I went here in the USA last July 2015 then we got married (same sex marriage) at Carver County last Sept. 11, 2015. Despite of being in a long distance relationship for 3 years and 2 months before, we are that kind of a very happy couple and very lucky to have each other. CHEERS!:-D
