The Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that the Supreme Court ruling will allow U.S. citizens and Lawful Permanent Residents petition for their same-sex spouses who would be able to obtain their “green cards”. It is estimated that 36,000 foreign nationals will benefit from this groundbreaking ruling.
