HR 2823 United States House · 118th Congress

Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2023

HR 2823, the Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2023, exempts certain family members of eligible Filipino veterans from U.S. immigrant visa caps. It allows children or spouses of veterans to obtain visas without being counted against annual limits, directly affecting families seeking to reunite with veterans who served in the U.S. military during WWII or under specific naturalization provisions. The bill amends immigration law to include veterans naturalized under the 1990 Immigration Act (Section 405) or the 1940 Act (as amended in 1942). This creates a direct pathway for reunification by removing a key barrier to family immigration for these veterans' relatives.
