This is normally necessary when the old and ailing veteran or petitioner has passed away and no other immediate relatives is qualified to become a substiture sponsor. Please consider also the reinstatement of all revoked approved petitions of veterans. NVC/CIS automatically revokes such petitions because the veteran who is the petitioner died during the long waiting period of the visa availability which usually takes 15 to 30 years.... 135786@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1337.html#123048 the mere fact that my father was enlisted to the American Merchant Merchant Marine in the US Mainland, under American Merchant Marine act of 1936 and 1940, and 1942, my father was/is a US Citizen, because no one can be allowed to join the American mariner if they were not Americans under the law.

Akaka with your untiring and unselfish support to the Filipino World War II Veterans, please push once more the reset button for the re-booting of the Family Reunification Act of 2009. The bill seemed to have hanged along the way. The vets who have been so patient awaiting for this bill transformed into law are now in their 80s and 90s. Their designed life are almost reached. As a son of one of these vets and in behalf of the rest of the beneficiaries, we pledge to be responsible enough NOT to become extra loads to the US but rather contributors in our own little ways to the good and well-being of the American communities of our destination.... 116113@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/111_SN_1337.html?rev=68228 <p>S. 1337 would exempt children of certain Filipino World War II veterans from the numerical limitations on immigrant visas.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Filipino Veterans Family Reunification Act of 2009 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to exempt from worldwide or numerical immigrant limitations aliens who are the children of Filipino World War II veterans naturalized pursuant to the Immigration Act of 1990.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 6/24/2009: Referred to Senate committee.
