Trump's Policies Tried to Tear This Gay Father and Son Apart — The Dad Won
A French, gay, single father of an American infant, who has lived in the United States for more than 15 years, has won a long battle surrounding his immigration status.
The victory brings years of uncertainty to a close, including the terror of potential separation from his son. To get here, he risked successful career in the beauty industry, and asked an elected leader for help, something that many immigrants are not affordedLast month, Jérôme Roux discovered an email that left him overjoyed.
His attorneys notified him that his unconditional permanent resident card was approved, ending his three-year-long personal nightmare.
Now, Roux credits gay U.S. Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney for the favorable resolution.Roux, 44, moved to the U.S. from Paris in 2007 on an employer-sponsored visa for a position with American beauty giant Coty Prestige in New York City.
