Congratulations to two of Out4Immigration’s long-time supporters, Mel & Geert! After many years, Geert received his green card last month. This same-sex binational couple (Geert, at the right is from The Netherlands, and Mel, at left, is an American citizen) have been together for more than 30 years. Together they have navigated the US immigration system through many twists and turns, including the HIV travel ban.
The lifting of the ban earlier this year, made Geert’s green card application possible.
Geert & Mel specifically thank all those who write letters and call Congress every week for all you do to keep equal immigration rights and the need for the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) in front of those who can make a difference. The couple also are greatly indebted to their Congresswoman, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA-9) for her ceaseless support of UAFA and LGBT immigration rights. (Read more)
