Bill > S461

This bill, known as the "Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2025," aims to exempt children of certain Filipino World War II veterans from the standard numerical limitations on immigrant visas. Specifically, the bill modifies the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a special visa category for individuals who are eligible for a family-based immigrant visa and have a parent who was naturalized under specific historical provisions related to Filipino veterans' military service during World War II. These naturalization provisions include section 405 of the Immigration Act of 1990 and a section of the Second War Powers Act of 1942. By creating this exemption, the bill will make it easier for children of Filipino World War II veterans to immigrate to the United States by removing the typical caps on immigrant visas that would otherwise restrict their entry. This legislation recognizes the historical contributions of Filipino veterans who served alongside American forces during World War II and seeks to provide additional immigration opportunities for their descendants.
