Hot Issues in LGBT/HIV Immigration and a Mock Interview

LGBT and/or HIV+ immigrants face the dual discrimination of being LGBT/H and being non-citizens. This panel will lay out the legal landscape for LGBT/H immigrants, including: a discussion of the hurdles faced by binational same-sex couples and a possible legislative solution; the unique challenges transgender immigrants face in correcting their identity documents and having their marriages recognized under immigration law; the HIV ban under immigration law and pending legislation on the issue; and asylum based on LGBT identity and HIV status. The workshop will conclude with a “mock asylum interview” featuring a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Asylum Officer from the San Francisco Asylum Office.
