Jamie and Tim

Just when you needed a break from the relentless bad news, we've received word of a happy outcome for binational couple Tim and Jamie who back in 2013 were prevented from being together in the United States because of the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act.

Tim and Scottish native Jamie have been together since August 2006 and married in Canada in June 2012. However, Jamie was detained in SeaTac Airport, Seattle in June 2009 due to visa problems and the couple had been prevented from being together ever since.

Last week Jamie had an interview at the US Embassy in London, England and was approved for a green card.

Together for eight years and five months, the couple hopes that Jamie will be in the US before Valentine’s Day “and soon we will finally be able to spend the rest of our lives together.”

Watch a heartbreaking video about the couple’s struggle and an update following Jamie’s green card application, AFTER THE JUMP…
