re: Strange request from co-worker

If you are a gay or lesbian U.S. citizen and are engaged to be married to someone of the same gender, then you are eligible to file a fiance petition (Form I-129F). A same-sex engagement may be the basis for a fiance petition even if the U.S. citizen petitioner is a resident of a state that doesn’t recognizes same-sex marriages as legal. The holder of a K-1 fiance petition may enter the U.S. for the purposes of getting married within 90 days of entering. On the basis of the marriage, the foreign national may then file for a green card through a process called adjustment of status.

If the marriage is less than two years old at the time that USCIS approves the green card, the permanent residency will be condition. Before the expiration of the green card, the I-751 petition to remove conditions on residency must be pursued. This is true regardless of whether the marriage is same sex or not.
