S 1263 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2023

This bill exempts certain family members of eligible Filipino veterans from U.S. immigration visa limits. It directly affects spouses, children, and other relatives of Filipino veterans who were naturalized under specific historical laws (the 1990 Immigration Act or the 1940 Act related to WWII service). The key provision amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to create a new exemption category, allowing these family members to qualify for visas without being subject to annual numerical caps. This changes the process by removing a specific barrier to family reunification for this group. The bill focuses on updating visa eligibility rules, not creating new benefits.
