A victory scored by married bi-national same sex couples this week turned out to be only temporary.
After only one day, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said it would no longer accept green card applications from gays and lesbians with spouses from abroad.
"The guidance we were awaiting... was received last night, so the hold is over, so we're back to adjudicating cases as we always have," Christopher Bentley, a USCIS spokesman, told Metro Weekly.
The Obama administration announced last month that it would no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court.
