Queens couple sees new hope after marriage act abandoned

In Washington, DC, President Obama recently abandoned the Defense of Marriage Act, giving hope to gay and lesbian couples around the country where it involves same-sex couples' issues relevant to immigration.

A Queens couple, Christina Ojede and Monica Alcota, believes this offers hope for them. Ojede, an American-born social worker, has petitioned the government for a green card for her Argentine wife, Alcota.
