A bill to exempt children of certain Filipino World War II veterans from the numerical limitations on immigrant visas, and for other purposes.

Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Bill 119 s 461, also known as the Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act, aims to exempt children of certain Filipino World War II veterans from the numerical limitations on immigrant visas. This bill seeks to reunite families who have been separated due to immigration restrictions and honor the sacrifices made by Filipino veterans during World War II.

The bill specifically targets children of Filipino veterans who were naturalized as US citizens after serving in the US military during World War II. These children, who are currently facing long wait times and numerical limitations on immigrant visas, would be able to reunite with their families in the United States if this bill is passed.

In addition to exempting these children from visa limitations, the bill also includes provisions for the spouses and unmarried adult children of Filipino World War II veterans to be eligible for immigrant visas. This would further facilitate family reunification and honor the contributions of Filipino veterans to the United States. Overall, Bill 119 s 461 aims to rectify the injustices faced by Filipino World War II veterans and their families by exempting them from immigrant visa limitations and allowing them to reunite with their loved ones in the United States.
