   The 5-4 majority decision of the Supreme Court overturning the Defense of Marriage Act or DOMA looks to have major impact on immigration law, with many changes on the horizon. The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), enacted September 21, 1996 was a United States Federal Law that allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed under the laws of other states.

   As of July 2013, there are thirteen states (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) that permit same-sex marriage. According to the last census, there are approximately 36,000 bi-national same-sex couples living in the United States.

   The decision made by the Supreme Court does not guarantee a right to same-sex marriage, but it allows same-sex couples who live in the states that allow same-sex marriage to receive the same federal benefits as heterosexual couples.
