Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2025

This proposal aims to speed up family reunification for certain Filipino World War II veterans and their children. It would remove the normal annual caps on immigrant visas for the children of these veterans, so they don’t have to wait in long backlogs. The rule applies even if the veteran parent has passed away.

It covers children of veterans who became U.S. citizens because of their World War II service, including those who served honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces or in recognized Filipino units like the Philippine Army, Philippine Scouts, or guerrilla groups.

• Who is affected: Children of certain Filipino World War II veterans who were naturalized for their service
• What changes: Their immigrant visas would no longer be limited by yearly quotas, reducing wait times
• Key detail: Applies whether the veteran parent is living or deceased
