Scott blogged earlier about the dilemma of Josh Vandiver and Henry Velandia, a bi-national couple that faced separation over Velandia’s deportation order. Some relief to report today. (AP):

A Venezuelan salsa dancer who legally married an American man in a same-sex ceremony last year has had his deportation placed on hold.

The decision comes one day after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder set aside a Board of Immigration Appeals ruling in a similar case.

Henry Velandia, who faces deportation to Venezuela, is petitioning to be allowed to remain in the U.S. as the spouse of U.S. citizen Josh Vandiver.
