Are same-sex married couples allowed to immigrate?

Answer 1

In most places, yes. Sexuality and marital status for the most part do not affect Immigration status.

Additional Information:The question also seems to ask whether the immigrant can seek legal residency or even naturalization by virtue of his or her marriage to a citizen of the same sex. The answer to that question is that, generally, countries which have nationwide recognition of either same-sex marriage or civil partnership will accept an application from the spouse of a citizen, regardless of the genders involved. However, the United States is not one of those countries. Although the official policy of the United States is to immediately dismiss all applications based on a same-sex marriage, lately such cases have been held "in abeyance" and deportation orders have been adjourned in light of questions concerning the constitutionality of the law prohibiting the recognition of same-sex marriages. To my knowledge, though, no one has been granted permanent residency or naturalization on the basis of same-sex marriage to an American citizen.
