Henry Velandia and Josh Vandiver married in Montville, Connecticut on August 29, 2010. Henry Velandia is in deportation proceedings because the Defense of Marriage Act prevents Josh Vandiver from sponsoring him for residency. Velandia goes before his immigration judge in Newark, N.J., on November 17, 2010. The couple hopes Valandia’s deportation can be delayed until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the Defense of Marriage Act. In July, a lower court ruled it unconstitutional. Legal experts say the couple’s chances are a long shot.
