June 21, 2005
US HOUSE—To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide a mechanism for United States citizens and lawful permanent residents to sponsor their permanent partners for residence in the United States, and for other purposes.
Creates a status of permanent partner
, which means an individual 18 years of age or older who—
- is in a committed, intimate relationship with another individual 18 years of age or older in which both parties intend a lifelong commitment;
- is financially interdependent with that other individual;
- is not married to or in a permanent partnership with anyone other than that other individual;
- is unable to contract with that other individual a marriage cognizable under this Act; and
- is not a first, second, or third degree blood relation of that other individual.
— and allows a permanent partner to be sponsored by a U.S. citizen or permanent resident on the same basis as a husband or wife.
