The "Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2025" proposes to create an exemption from numerical limitations on immigrant visas for certain individuals. Specifically, it targets the children of Filipino World War II veterans who were naturalized under particular provisions of U.S. law, regardless of whether the parent is living or deceased. The bill amends Section 201(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, adding a new category of aliens exempt from visa caps. To qualify, an individual must be eligible for a visa under paragraph (1) or (3) of section 203(a) and have a parent naturalized pursuant to either Section 405 of the Immigration Act of 1990 or Title III of the Act of October 14, 1940, as added by the Second War Powers Act of 1942.
